I don't find it at all 'hard to imagine that people would want a state-run economy' .... two life experience examples spring to mind - the attitude of most mexicanos toward both the ejidal system of land tenure and the use of returns from Pemex, and the attiitude of most canadians to the healthcare system
But that's not the main point, not the place to start .... those things all come later, get discussed ad infinitum, once the first and most basic freedom is established - the freedom of expression
Only got a minute right now, but that's it to the core .... when we see cubanos able to speak out to the extent mexicanos and canadians can, then we will know Castro is no longer a little tinpot latino stalinist dictator .... when we see them on the internet, arguing with us about state-planned economies, or whatever, and not being recorded by their secret police for doing so, nor worrying about what their regime thinks - then we will know they are becoming free ..... less than this, is completely un-cubano, un-canadian, un-mexicano, and utterly inadequate for fellow members of our species ..... cháu |
