When Fidel Castro waged his
revolution from the mountain jungles of Cuba the US supported Batista
while he was torturing and murdering his opponents. Batista's jails
were filled to the rafters with political prisoners. When Castro came
to power he instituted land reform, and established a free public
educational system and free health care. Tribunals under chief
prosecutor Che Guevara began public trials of the enemies of the
state. Hundreds were executed and thousands more were jailed as the
crowds cheered.
In the end, the same numbers were incarcerated by Castro as were incarcerated under Batista with the difference being that the children were being fed and educated. They had a free health care system and the people who had exploited and used the Cubans unmercilessly faced firing squads or fled in terror but the children were being fed and educated.
"I believe that there is no country in the world including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country's policies during the Batista regime. I approved the proclamation which Fidel Castro made in the Sierra Maestra, when he justifiably called for justice and especially yearned to rid Cuba of corruption. I will even go further: to some extent it is as though Batista was the incarnation of a number of sins on the part of the United States. Now we shall have to pay for those sins. In the matter of the Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban revolutionaries. That is perfectly clear."

The problems that we face in this country are the problems created by defective corrupt leadership. These problems were created by human hands and so they can be corrected by human hands. The Democrats offer us nothing but watered down Republican me tooism. The Republicans are insane, lunacy, El Duce and worse. Accept the truth; the truth shall set you free. Understand that there is no hope or promise in following these Judas goats up the loading chute. There are no jobs, no justice, no education, no retirement, no Social Security up this path. There is a target painted on your back or do you think that perhaps an angry petition might be in order?
Power
backs up only in the face of more power, we need revolutionary
change, we must build a new political front based on Jobs, Justice
and the Environment. We must make demands on which there will be no
equivocation. Yesterday, the nation of Egypt passed a new provisional
constitution and in it Egyptians are guaranteed the right to form
labor unions. Think about that for a moment; think about how the
Egyptian people made that event come about.
This is not about you and I anymore, any improvement in our situation will take years if not decades. This is about what kind of country your children will live in and what kind of life they will have in it. Either an educated citizenry living in decent homes that they own or a generation of Wal-mart greeters and unemployed masses living in rental slums. Either a free people with the right to join a union or herded masses spied upon and watched by an autocratic corporate fascist regime presided over by a rump Duma and a corporate El Duce demanding more and even greater sacrifices for the sake of "our interests" in East Asia.
These are not ideas that can be; these are ideas that must be. This struggle is not about what you want to do; it is about what you must do it is a struggle that validates your existence. It is a struggle not for the soul of a nation but for the soul of man. Prepare yourself, open your mind to revolutionary ideas, understand that the night is long but the dawn is coming.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
