[lbo-talk] Re: Cuba petition

[Mike Ballard]

Well in the absence of democratic elections in Cuba,
who actually knows what the self-determination of the
Cuban people is?  Which is precisely the
problem.  By having a dictatorship, Castro opens the
door to a range of people to speak in the name of the
Cuban people, since they can't speak for themselves.
Which makes a Bush invasion more possible since it
will be done in the name of the Cuban people with
plenty of Miami Cubans speaking in the name of a
country whose people cannot themselves speak without
risking jail.

The people of the United State have the right to speak
without risking jail; but I take exception to the
implied notion here that the capitalist controlled
electoral process expresses their will.

If such a representitive system were *implanted* in
Cuba, it would most likely be run by that
cash-my-check cabal of exiles who now populate so much
of the state of Florida. 

Best,
