What does any of this have to do with cooperation? Anarchism is about being critical of society, especially its institutions of oppression and exploitation. It would be unusual if a fawning discussion of Castro on this list went uncriticized by any of the anarchists or anti-authoritarians here.
And you are responding to a post that is six days old. ;-)
Castro is evidently not going to die soon, so perhaps it is time for this thread to peter out until something new happens...
