Adaptation to circumstances can bring so many changes that something like this could - literally - change the world.

I think the example of Cuba, in so many ways, has inspired movements all over the world to stand up to corporate globalization and American imperialism in particular. There is much to criticize about Cuba - as there is in every country on the planet - but the people of that island have proven that they can withstand being 90 miles away from Goliath and David still breathes.

Whether it be Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay and others; the world is seeing an alternative to business as usual - that governments can structure themselves so that people do come before profits and those who would use their nation to plunder away the natural resources for private gain.

I'll watch this permaculture with great interest. The possibilities!
