sorry if i sound like a total asshole but wow. i honestly did not know there were computers in Cuba (maybe the government but not normal people). seeing all these things of how poor cubans or and blah blah blah......

i'm surprised Cuba is sucking M$'s dick, some of the less fortunate (not poor, just not rich) are turning to Linux because it's free. Mexico is taking a shining to Linux because it's extremely cheap to run, all they need to pay for is the CD.

chooco, do you live in the US? i heard that the US citizens get told a lot of untrue rubbish about Cuba by their government, and how the Cubans are all selfish primitive savages who love Stalinism, except the poor starving peasants and so on...

Yes, the US government must have some reason for doing such things to Cuba as poisoning its livestock, blowing up its hotels and enforcing an economic blockade, etc. The official reason seems to be that Cuba poses a threat to US national security, but nobody really believes that, surely?

I must say that it surprises me a bit that a communist government would actaully make their country dependant on the most capitalist company ever to come forth out of america .... it just sounds a bit strange to me .....

I bet a lot of Americans do... and that's not meant to be an insult to those that don't! (or to those that do, actually, although i think that those people could do a little more research before forming an opinion).

Also, Cuba isn't really a communist country, it's just not on America's 'good' list. It seems to be a long shot away from being a socialist country, that's for sure! seems more like a fascist dictatorship to me! (similar to what we call a liberal democracy, but with much less propagandha and advertising, and more general honesty about who's in charge...)

Ah, but it's "communist" enough in that the government (a) controls industry, with the upshot that foreign corporations would not be allowed to exploit Cuba's resources, and (b) conducts political repression.

Of course, this definition of "communist" is ideal for propaganda purposes, but I don't think it really justifies assassination plots against Castro and all that other stuff!
