The enslavement of humanity? Haven't you Communists tried that already? Was the murder of more than 1 billion human beings just a dry run? Are you going to "do it right" next time and murder 2 billion? Or 3 billion? <BR/><BR/>Let me define a slave for you, distinguished dj, urban planner and universal joke of the blogosphere: a slave is someone who is compelled to work for another and receives in exchange the bare sustenance that will allow him to work for one more day to his master's benefit. This is an exact description of the living conditions of the Cuban doctors in Venezuela. The fruits of their labor were paid to Fidel Castro, who, although he has foisted Marxism on Cuba, practices personal capitalism himself, which has allowed him to amass a $900 fortune based upon just such enslavement of his countrymen.<BR/><BR/>And you? What are you, leftside? A parasite upon such a parasite. You do not commit Castro's crimes, but you condone and cheer them; but although he is the actor and you are merely the reactor, both of you are on the same moral plane. He is the greater menace but I think that you are even more contemptible than him because you are the dog that laps up the blood. But you are much worse: because you are not a dog. Dogs are governed by their instincts, but you have turned your back on everything that defines and elevates humanity above the beasts, who are at least God's creatures. You are a conscious agent and willing instrument of evil. Nothing can be more contemptible. <BR/><BR/><BR/><B>And the continuation:</B><BR/><BR/><BR/><I>Leftside:<BR/><BR/>Is that the best you can do? To call me an "Asshole?" That is the concern of your beshitted idol, not me.<BR/><BR/>You don't really have any empathy for the Cuban people; for you they are merely pawns in a game of international politics that ceased to be played when your beloved USSR imploded. Didn't you defend that regime as cravenly as you now defend Castro's dictatorship? Hasn't every Stalinist depended on you for a kind word or thousands of kind words in the span of your miserable existence as an apologist for the inexcusable?<BR/><BR/>In fact, you are not only indifferent to the suffering of Cubans, you regard them as inhuman and unworthy of enjoying the freedoms that you enjoy here and would never forfeit, not even to enjoy the spectacle of seeing Cubans degraded on a daily basis while you live in relative comfort in your socialist paradise. Why must your paradise be another man's hell? <BR/><BR/>The Cuban doctors "volunteered" because Cubans will do anything (and have) to escape Castro's island prison. It is most assuredly better to be a Castro slave in Venezuela or any other country than in Cuba, because then at least you have the possibility of escaping to freedom without having to forfeit your life in the bargain.<BR/><BR/>As for Castro's personal wealth made at the expense of the Cuban people, I am confident that Forbes can tell a capitalist from a communist, even if you can't. Castro has never lived an ascetic life, nor, God forbid, shared the misery which he has inflicted on his countrymen. He owns the world's biggest plantation and has more slaves than did all the slavemasters of the Confederacy. If you were really a socialist like Marx, you would despise him as a plutocrat. But, of course, you are nothing but a shameless deluded sadist who masks his bloodlust in a superannuated ideology.</I>Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-82087339169805551612007-11-10T05:45:00.000-05:002007-11-10T05:45:00.000-05:00Vana:When someone tells me that pre-Castro Cuba wa...Vana:<BR/><BR/>When someone tells me that pre-Castro Cuba was a "banana republic," I always counter that at least then the people had something to eat.

He is one of the typical "california leftist warrior" that can't find anything good about his own country and praises everything or excuses every abuse perpetrated on the Cuban people by saying that is the US fault that the regime has to crack down on the "dissident mercenaries" to protect itself from its enemies. All of his comments are in that vein. The Soviets during their heyday had a good name for them: "useful idiots" and the list is long, from former NY Times reporters during the 1930's to countless "useful" writers from the european intelligentsia such as Arthur Koeppler, Andres Gide, and many others. Leftside would learn a great deal if he was forced to spent 2 years in Cuba living as a regular Cuban. But he knows better. He praises "the socialist" regime established in Cuba but he himself will never live under it. His loas and praises for the Cuban regime are from afar. Well fed, well dressed and able to spouse his leftist views on any blog he chooses with complete freedom. There is an entry in the Webster's dictionary for such behavior under the letter H: Hipocrisy.Sharpshooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392128808186050440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-17709608716458858262007-11-09T11:27:00.000-05:002007-11-09T11:27:00.000-05:00Distinguido Manuel left side commenter del triangu...Distinguido Manuel left side commenter del triangulo es un inepto, un burro , o un trabajador de la oficina de Ramiro Valdez<BR/><BR/>no busques mas na ahi<BR/><BR/>"a kinder and gentler f"<BR/>nov,9, 2007Fantomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349273596944526270noreply@blogger.com
