Like I said, it isn't socialism, but there are universal, high quality social services for the people. If I was born in the 3rd world I could do a lot worse than Cuba.<br /><br />As far as the economy being better before the Castro-era. It was a tourist, gambling and casino based economy with one major crop. After Castro it was a bit more mixed, but with a reliance on that sugar crop still. What changed? Wealth was far more evenly distribution and corruption was curbed. Ask the Cuban people what they think of the revolution. They will tell you. You won't hear too many hagiographies of Castro from anyone but the really old people, but you'll hear a balanced assessment that will state that the revolution did far more good than bad.<br /><br />"Cuba: A New History" by Richard Gott is a good book on the subject.Citoyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053958006016500177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-5352773521013099112009-09-06T08:14:07.542-07:002009-09-06T08:14:07.542-07:00I'm not much of a Heeb, but as a Ju, I could h...I'm not much of a Heeb, but as a Ju, I could have told you that Pat Buchanan was a fuckface. http://www.religionispoison.com/racist_pat.jpg<br />I dunno if I believe those Cuba stats. As for literacy, I'm not sure how that happened, but the reason so many people are living above the poverty line is simply because of the lack of hierarchy. Castro's not the dictator the media's made him out to be, but I doubt he's the cure for all of Cuba's problems either.Guy Fawkeshttp://illcuts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-74965788271687327002009-09-05T07:16:49.371-07:002009-09-05T07:16:49.371-07:00Fidel has said the econonmy was strong before he t...Fidel has said the econonmy was strong before he took over. <br /><br />I didnt start poverty rate discussion.

That's ridiculous.<br /><br />And Cubans have blogs, and internet access. I've been to Cuba, I've used the internet in Cuba, I've went to political debates in Cuba, to community councils that deliberate on a grassroots level.<br /><br />I would like to see some political liberalization and more worker's control in Cuba, but if you would rather be born in Haiti or Jamaica or Mexico than Cuba you're crazy. Any Cuban child has a great education, health care and employment awaiting for them.<br /><br />No they don't have the access to consumer goods and yes the dual-track dollar/peso economy is kind of messed up, but honestly it's not like these Cuban kids would be driving around in BMWs if it wasn't for Fidel--- they would be living like the people in Haiti or Chipas.<br /><br />And you can see by that Pat B. article that he doesn't respect any OF the Slavs or Muslims they died through Hitler's genocide and he thinks that Eastern Bloc under "Communism" was worse than Fascism. That's disgraceful. Really, really disgraceful. He utterly disrespects all the civilians who died during WW2, who suffered under occupation, all those who died in the holocaust.<br /><br />How is he still on MSNBC?Citoyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053958006016500177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-61418243442504933782009-09-04T14:18:04.376-07:002009-09-04T14:18:04.376-07:00members* oopsmembers* oopsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790021311115201711.post-61460253588312526542009-09-04T14:17:30.509-07:002009-09-04T14:17:30.509-07:00The poverty line here and Cuba is not the same.

You can read all this shit online that you want. You should speak to people who actually lived under Castro. You might learn a thing or 2.<br /><br />"Typical wages range from factory worker's 300 non-convertible Cuban pesos a month to a doctor's 700.
