    The Franciscan Brothers in the Catholic Church. They own nothing personally--not even their clothes. They get everything they need from the community and give whatever they get to the community.

    2. Short answer: Yes. Long answer: It is well known that the CIA has tried to produce a counter-revolution in Cuba for a long time, good examples are the Bay of Pigs invasion, DOZENS of assassination attempts by the CIA and support of dissidents inside of Cuba. This all let to the people having to defend the revolution in ways that some of you may find to be against the freedom of speech.
    I do not understand how cutting on freedom of speech somehow defends the revolution, but ok...

    Yeah. I'm just straightening some doubts I had. I went there and it was a very poor country. It had a good vibe and culture, but people were still poor. They looked dependent.
