[lbo-talk] Fidel

[James Heartfield]

I can't get worked up about Cuba's policies on gay liberation in particular. 
Poverty is not the best condition for sexual liberation, and the country is 
blockaded. Yes, it is on the list of the failures of the regime, but not at 
the top. The constraints on democratic debate and accountability are much 
more pressing. The demand that Cuba adapt itself to the moral outlook of San 
Francisco when its people are hungry and impoverished seems a bit 
egotistical to me.
