Good Old Fashion Communist Crackdown on Dissidents - Lift th

[Ghost Writer]

Apparently, Castro siezed the day, and used the war in Iraq as a smokescreen to crack down on political opponents. This story is another example of a U.N. failure, and exemplifies the very reason for the existence of the embargo. I think we should give Jimmy Carter another peace prize for having orange juice with Castro. What is it with the liberal love affair with dictators? Could it be that they like this type of behavior? Why are they apologists for regimes like Saddam Hussein's, Kim Jung Il's, and Fidel Castro's? I bet this story doesn't appear in the Che-live's news forum.

'Why are they apologists for regimes like Saddam Huissein'

Erm 'they' are probably not, while you on the other hand taught him how to kill Communists and gas his own people. On Cuba the fact that the people taken to court have been proved guilty means nothing to you.

[Charred Phoenix]

The death sentence should not exist, but you Americans have it too, so don't complain.

[Ghost Writer]

No, the lawlessness of communism means a lot to me, hence my existence on this board.

[Charred Phoenix]

Do you browse this board with your eyes close or what?

[Ghost Writer]

Care to further explain that comment?

[Charred Phoenix]

Well, your reply made it clear that you had read neither of our posts, so my hypothesis was that you had your eyes closed.

hahahaha

So instead of acknowledging a socialist country's clear and blatant crime, you change the subject and throw it all back on the US... Wow.

Then again, instead of Norman acknowledging that his nation has just killed several thousand people in an unjustified war, he concentrates on the jailing of 75 dissidents. Who is changing the subject?

[Tkinter1]

Did you just change the subject about changing the subject?

[Cassius Clay]

Tkinter1, I did not change the subject.

Mr Ghostwriter accussed 'Liberals' of having infactuations of with dictatorships like Saddam's. I just pointed out that it was the dear U$A that taught Saddam to murder Communists in the first place. And does not every nation arrest spies? Oh let me guess they were 'Show Trials'?

The recent crackdown on counterrevolutionary activity in Cuba is something I applaud greatly. In some ways, I think that perhaps it did not go far enough. Since the dawn of the glorious, undefeatable socialist Revolution of 1959 the American imperialist machine has, with a violent malice of vengeance, attempted to end the new found liberation the Cuban people had gained. From assassination attempts on father Fidel’s life, to the Bay of Pigs invasion in the early sixties, coup attempts, bandit marauders in the countryside, a brutal economic embargo and a complete defaming of the legitimate socialist government of Cuba. None of it has been successful. Why, many capitalists, liberals and Trotskyites wonder? Because it takes a nation of eleven million, all in support of a glorious movement in building a new society to defeat the imperialists to the north.

Since the Americans have once again started a campaign of bloodshed against any voices of reason against them, seemingly starting with Iraq and quite possibly extending to Syria, Iran and People’s Korea, Cuba has once again entered on the target scopes of the Americans. Thus, to preserve the popular people’s Revolution it is just that crackdown on upper-class bourgeoisie malcontents be carried out. Please, do not make these filthy people out to be heroes, for they are far from it. These are right-wingers who have supported many CIA-backed terrorist attacks against the island-nation amongst other atrocities.

I have an analogy for the right-wingers, liberals and Trotskyites who oppose the justice taken against the counterrevolutionaries. Say that an organization of people who believed that whites are supreme Americans and that slavery should be put back into effect in the southern United States. These people reguarily committed or supported terrorist acts against civilians, causing millions of dollars in damage and the death or injury of innocents. Would this organization be allowed to operate legally, and thus continue to not only kill many but also preach hatred and a return to slavery? I believe not.

[Saint-Just]

I absolutely agree with thursday night. This U.S. embargo is inspired by nothing more than outmoded cold-war attitude of the U.S. administration.

These U.S. initiatives against countries such as Cuba, DPRK, Iran, Syria are nothing less than obscene compromise of conventional international relations.

[The Sniper]

Well its only "dirty reds" in "filthy little 3rd world countrys" that do things like rail ppl with political beliefs different to the government i mean that thing would never happen in the "land of the free".................well yes it does happen. I have heard many a tail of left wing web masters having their computer confscated, the marrest and faced with extermly harsh charges in US courts. I mean its a country where only 2 politcial partys are allowed and they both have vasty similier political beliefs. Good to see Castro is still up to being left wing radical i thought for awhile he sold out to US pressure by building all those tourist resorts.

correct me if im wrong, but didnt this happen to Sherman, the webmaster of Raisethefist.com?

[synthesis]

Abstractmentality, you're right on the money. I'd forgotten about that case.

[Tkinter1]

What was he teaching people how to make bombs????

[Hampton]

What he had on that site was nothing worse than the The Anarchist Cookbook, which you can a million different places on the internet.

If you had read the article I provided, an ability of which capitalists seem intrinsically deficient, you would have seen that the same information Austin provided on his site was available from such capitalist sources as CNN and Amazon.com.

Yet, those two have not been legally harassed, and Austin has. Therefore, it is obvious that the information Austin was apparently harassed for was merely an excuse to hassle him for his anarchist beliefs.

[Tkinter1]

You know what dyer you're right :)

Once you mix anti-american, pro-anarchist sentiment with bombs people seem to think you're a threat. It's sad that had to happen to him. I'm sure he meant well at heart.
