Blogging From The Worker's Paradise

As one of only two surviving hard-line Communist nations, Cuba bears the heavy burden of sustaining the hopes and dreams of uncounted thousands of American leftists who bravely and stoically perform the tragic task of living at taxpayer expense in American universities, telling all of us victims of capitalism, with our 'cars' and 'computers' and 'reliable electric power' just how miserable we are, instead of joining their comrades in bliss in Cuba, where there are lots of doctors (and concentration camps for AIDS sufferers), and 100% literacy (though you'll be shot if you read anything the government doesn't approve of). But, wait! Showing the kind of daring, vision, and courage that only an 80 year old leftover of a long-gone revolution can manage, Raul Castro has decided to let Cubans use the Internet...if they can disguise themselves as a tourist and sneak into a hotel, that is. How can one ask for more freedom?

It's fun mentioning this to liberals. They stick their fingers in their ears and go 'la la la free health care I can't heeeeaaaar you'. Try it out yourself! You'll be glad you did.

    What kind of liberals do you hang out with, Lizard? Are they really Castro supporters? Do they think that the Cuban system is better than the American system?

    I'm quite liberal (at least on the American spectrum), and I think Castro is an oppressive, self-absorbed thug who has done horrible things to his country. The free health care does not make up for the dire poverty, political oppression, and other evils Castro has perpetrated on his people.

    When I went to college I don't remember any of my professors touting the Cuban system to us. And the liberal friends I have haven't ever talked up Castro to me. Maybe I just hang out with more sensible liberals, but pro-Castroism isn't part of any liberalism I recognize or participate in.
