Reply #164: You celebrate too early.........

Monday was a holiday (coulmbus day), I had time to sit at the computer and post. Tuesday morning I had to get up and go to work because I don't live in a socialist fantasy where the state supports me. It's 6:30 now and I have until 8:30 -9:00 to post, then I have to prepare for the next day's work. I don't live on DU on all day (you may also notice I have more than one person to respond too, Che mania is running high in this thread when their icon is challenged and I am a little outnumbered). You must have not been following the thread well anyway, I fully expect a Che supporter to try 100% to debunk any anti-che article (truthfully or untruthfully). Their indentities are too wrapped around their hero. According to Che supporters all the people who risked their lives to escape Cuba on rafts are nothing but rich Batista supporters.


Raul Rivero isn't the only dissident in a Communist country who went to jail for owning a typewriter and writing what he truly feels. Typewriters and many other forms of printing equipment had to be registered in the former Soviet Union, lest someone churn something out to challenge the regime. Che and Castro adopted many of their Stalinist allies techniques.


The smackdown here is of those who are going to support a brutal thug in one thread and then go running around pretending to be "true progressives" in others.
