Why does everyone shy away from citing the greatest miracle of Cuba that
managed to survive the economic blockade imposed on it just through revival
of agriculture and that too totally organic? Traditional means of tilling
the land were recommissioned to cope with lack of fuel for the machines.
We have capitalist champions talking about freeing the controls. Now see
what has happened to petrol prices in India.
One cannot expect an urbanised mindset to understand anything except be
slaves of an economy and porocure their food from food chains.
