	SWP mythology on Cuba - www.communistvoice.org
		What made it possible in Cuba to catch and attempt to rectify the dangerous and retrograde trends fostered by the policies adopted in the mid-70s is the fact that the central leadership in the government and Communist Party remains in the hands of a revolutionary cadre.
		The relatively privileged technocratic and petty-bourgeois layers that bloat the apparatus of state, party, and other institutions have proven unable to impose their anti-working-class perspectives and interests on the political course of the revolution--an outcome that could be achieved only by driving the workers and peasants out of political life and activity.
		The strains inside Cuba as a result of these setbacks were among the factors that fostered the turn in the early 1970s toward greater reliance on methods borrowed from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the negative results of which are now being combated through the rectification process.

	Cubanisms: Debunking Misunderstandings about Cuba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Assuming that some countries are more worthy of visiting than others suggests an "ism" usually characterized by what anthropologists call "ethnocentric behavior." Ethnocentrism not only suggests that one's place is more valuable, worthy, and significant than others are, but also that one's position is superior.
		Cuba has one of the lowest rates in the world of violent crimes against women.
		History has taught us that one of the most effective ways to divide countries and rationalize violence is to perpetuate misunderstandings based on mistruths and the dehumanization of a society.

		Cuba’s pattern of aggressive spying in the U.S., concerns over the island nation’s development of biological weapons, and its aid to terrorists are all contributing to a post 9-11 reappraisal of the communist nation’s threat to American national security, says a report in the New York Times.
		However, while Montes certainly gave up defense information about Cuba, there is no hard evidence yet that she was specifically instructed from Cuba to lighten up on the dangers of Cuba in any intelligence reports produced during the course of her duties, according to the Times.
		According to the Times report, Armstrong is considered down on Cuba's importance as a military threat, has written skeptically about its reputed offensive biological weapons, and has even suggested that Castro’s island be dropped from the annual State Department roster of countries that sponsor terrorism.

	When Castro dies and Cuba lives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The mythology surrounding Castro in Leftist circles is breathtaking.
		Batista was democratically elected as President of Cuba and he lost the next election in 1944, Batista left office (later returning as a political boss.) He was a self-described "progressive socialist" whose 1940 Constitution abolished the death penalty, guaranteed racial and sexual equality, provided guaranteed state employment and free, compulsory public education.
		I don't think its a crappy plan, its goal is to preserve communism in cuba and keep the people slaves to the state, for that, the plan is quite good.

		The first peoples to arrive in Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic are believed to have come from the Yucatan peninsula or from other areas of Central America.

		This broad picture of extinction seems to fit mainly the history of the Tainos of Hispagnola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Cuba but not necessarily of Boriken (Puerto Rico) and of the southern Caribbean islands that are near South America.

		Regarding emigration by Cubans from Cuba to the U.S., it should also be noted that most of those in Little Havana left with the permission of the Cuban government, which issued them travel documents.
		The only thing different about Cuba is that Havana is 90 miles from the Florida coast, and a small band of rabble-rousing extremists in a swing state with enough electoral votes to get both political parties' attentions wants this embargo to stay.
