[Marxism] A promising interview with El Sal. pres-elect Funes

[Joaquin Bustelo]

Greg writes: "What did you expect? A public declaration of a move to become
the second Cuba of the americas?"

And it's perhaps not entirely irrelevant and a distraction to remember that
the FIRST "Cuba of the Americas" expropriated ALL imperialist property and
the ENTIRE local capitalist class ("down to the nails of their  boots,"
Fidel said, and Joe Hansen commented afterwards something like "and he meant
*all* the nails")  WITHOUT the word "socialism" crossing Fidel's lips until
the following year and MOST July 26 cadre adamantly denying and savagely
denouncing any suggestion that they were communists. A very profound
aphorism about being, consciousness and the relationship between the two
goes here, except I can't think of it as I'm listening to Ricardo Arjona's
song "Jesus, verbo no sustantivo" (Jesus is a verb, not a name) and am
distracted by being upset that a pretty profound insight has been surrounded
and obscured by a religious fog.

Well, as Mr. Vonnegut used to say, so it goes... but Mr. Kurt -- he dead. 

Save your pennies.
