it looks like i have finally found a place where i can discuss revolutionary ideas, i am a follower of Castro and Guevara, in other words i believe in Guevara's ideals and spirit and Castro's politics and government: a society in which the governement's only function would be social. Sadly because of the threat that the United States poses to to the island of Cuba, many sacrifices have to be made, but that is the price of creating socialism in a capitalist world. I was a communist even before I knew what communism was, because I couldn't understand a society that valued some people over others, after having read Guevara's writings, a book on Lenin, Mao's poetry and essays, and several texts by and on Fidel, and of course, Marx and Engel's Communist Manifesto, I realized that I was a communist. Here I hope that I will contribute something to you, comarades, and that we will be able to think together about governement and revolution. After organizing a protest that ended violently and unsuccesfully, I have decided to also take action in different ways, so that is why i am here.
On a side note, most of you have probably heard about this but I will include the article for those who haven't:
HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba's communist government is bristling over President Bush's efforts to hasten its downfall by appointing a "transition coordinator" to prepare for a post-Castro Cuba.
"Once again Bush is rudely meddling in Cuba's internal affairs by appointing one of his men to publicly coordinate subversive actions against the island," the ruling Communist Party newspaper Granma said on Monday.
The Bush administration named Caleb McCarry on Thursday to the State Department post of Cuba transition coordinator, a position created last year as part of a strategy to prepare for what it hopes will be a move from communism to democracy.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, announcing the appointment, said the White House's policy was to "accelerate the demise of Castro's tyranny."
She said McCarry, a staff member of the House International Relations Committee for the past eight years, will "direct our government's actions in support of a free Cuba."
"Viva Cuba libre," McCarry said in Spanish.
Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque confidently responded on Sunday that McCarry would retire before ever setting foot in Cuba.
But Ricardo Alarcon, president of Cuba's legislature, said McCarry's appointment was a bad sign for Cuba.
"This is proof that they are really following the plan. ... (McCarry) will coordinate everything the United States does to overthrow the revolution," said Alarcon on Saturday.
Castro, who will turn 79 next week, has been in power since a 1959 revolution that ousted U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. His government is facing discontent over shortages that have persisted since the collapse of Soviet communism deprived Cuba of billions of dollars in subsidies more than a decade ago.
This has inspired me to create a pro-Castro petition in defense of the Revolution and in defense of revolutionary socialism and Latin American liberation from American imperialism

Hasta La Victoria Siempre
