The msg below suggests to me that when Fidel goes to
his reward, the shit hits the fan in Cuba, even without
a US invasion. Has anybody ever considered what the
US left ought to be saying and doing with regard to such
circumstances?

A member of the Cuban Communist Party was at a party I had the
other night. This CP member has a more negative analysis of the Cuban
Revolution than do you! Isn't a bit strange that Castro, has never once
in all his years in power be overruled on a decision (internally)? Even in
a very deformed "workers state" wouldn't there be some breaks on one man's
will? That he isn't as quirky as Pol Pot, The Talibans, Kim il Sung,
Ceaucescu etc, is testimony to a certain mental stability-- but the guy is
an absolute dictator. I would prefer him as a Communist to say Stalin, in
the same sense that I would prefer Harold Washington to Jane Byrne as a
Democrat, but the workers in Cuba have no real power.
