Suck it, capitalism

Thinking yourself free when you're not, is just trapping yourself in your own reality.

Truth is, we are all slaves in some point, there things we must all do, rules of society we must all adhere to, or we are branded as outcasts, and therein lies the problem. When casted out, you feel alienated and enslaved, when you are truly free.

 

Yeah, its better to force a whole country into poverty, misery and starvation with an embargo right? Preventing countries like Cuba of improving their situation with a massive embargo and the charge their government with all the trouble, hellt, it´s really a great idea, if not then hell, let´s say they are a danger to democray, or that they are hidding bin ladden and/or weapons of mass destruction and invade them, carpet bomb them and murder thousands of people.

Imperialism will fall, either by its own weight or drown on its own blood.

 

Actually no, here's how it works.

Operations send out recon/sniper team, recon/sniper team arrive at destination, recon/sniper team finds and identifies target, recon/sniper team calls in to take shot, Operations says no and calls recon/sniper team back, recon/sniper team swears and returns to EZ 80 clicks to the south of them.

It just that operations can't make up its damn mind.

Ed: Cuba's situation will not improve until the people finally rise and get rid of their dictatorship, Castro maybe dead, but now his brother is in charge so its really no different now. Besides, they can all just come here like they usually do anyway, they get great health/ imigration benefits.

 

The problem is that the government has relied heavily on third parties (Mafia or Cubans against Fidel) to carry out the assasination attempts, most of the time they have just chickened out at the last minute because few people are ready to sacrifice their lives to kill him. On top of this he has a top notch secret service.

Cuba's economy is infact quite quickly moving over to the private sector. Its now at around 25% private compared with a few decades ago when it was like 5% or something. Its a cliche saying but in her defence Cuba does have one of the best education systems in the world. Venezula's socialist government has to rely on Cuba for doctors and teachers.

Hopefully Obama gets rid of the embargo's on Cuba since it damages both economies and "worldwide" communism is no longer a threat to the US. However in recent year Cuba's economy has had incredible growth (Even when you take into account they inflate their data).

 

this always irked me about the american dream:

1. you are supposed to get as far as your capacibilities can get you
2. yet you have a free economy, making companies able to repress and then buy-out starting companies

so basically, you are supposed to come far with one ideal, but the other ideal will stop you first


yeah, i realize i didnt state it well, and that my arguement is probably flawed, but its still something irky for me to think about, the opportunity repressing the opportunity

 

Cuba has one of the most popular 'regimes'. People seem to be happy.
I suppose a democracy would catapult the standard of living forward? (well it would if the US removed the embargo but that's a different matter) Cuba must abolish the abominations of free healthcare and education!

Funny how democracy is still flaunted while ignoring the USA's support of previous dictatorships, everything has to be manipulated and simply ignored to project a good view of 'America', just like how you 'won' the space race by the borderline pointless landing of a man on the moon while the USSR lost with the world firsts of first satellite, first animal, human and women in space.

 

Hell, Fidel Castro is not dead, just away from power due to health problems, Cuba has survived decades of US bullying and that cruel and massive embargo, Hell, they got guts to fight against the imperialist reign.

 

It's a dog eat dog world man. This system rewards the top ten percent of the population, while everyone else tries and tries to improve their status in the way of things, only to get shot down. People like this too, I don't get it.

It's called propaganda, we're s'posed to have a free media, but in reality, we don't, not entirely anyway. A lot of this is in school though, since the government controls what we learn. These kind of things are slammed into our head, time and time again. By the time people grow up, the few that go into the media, they may be mostly free of government control directly, but the slight brainwashing school taught propaganda, controls what they believe.

He isn't? Hmm I thought he was.

 

Im pretty sure Castro has kicked the bucket, since we haven't seen him in the spotlight for quite some time now and we all know how much he loved the camera.

And our media, its anything but free. Ask Bernie Goldberg about or just read it in his book "Bias" and "Arogance" . Very good reads and tells you just how our media works some times.

 

To control a populace, media is better than a throne of bayonets by far...

 

Precisely my point.
