My only certainty is that they are not communist, the rest I have not clear ideas. I am tyring to develop policies. Maybe because I was born in a different system from that in force in the rest of the world - outside the boundaries of right and left of other places - based on the power of one man and ruled by whims. I like to listen to people when they explain their policy positions (Even if they think in an orthodox manner), but it baffles me not to feel drawn to none. Apart from the rights and freedoms of the human being, I'm looking for other causes worth fighting for.
But a law, we inform and strives to understand the world, especially the ideologies that they do move. Instead of getting on a plane, and the four pages of a book consumed by a large number of readers or a documentary recorded on a memory card I tell the story of humanity that lives beyond the sea. In general, I decided to prescribe a range of standards for comparison is not crazy. There is little point, from my point of view, trying to compare a democracy with a capitalist country, a dictatorship with a developing country. Can I compare the U.S. with Europe, Mexico, with Argentina, Chile or Haiti, Cuba with the old Soviet Union countries, with Iran, with Chile's Pnochet, with Franco's Spain and even with North Korea. Any other comparison, Cuba, Uruguay, for example, is marked by a primary antagonism: Society against totalitarian rule of law.
So when a European trade union is trying to convince me about the "results of the Cuban revolution," I want to cry. First I have to try to make him understand that in Cuba there is no union, at least not historically known as the workers' union, used to assert the rights of workers against owner, company or state. It would be important to go to the root of the concept, respect for the meaning of nouns do not fall into the ambiguity, as does my friend Reinaldo Escobar, "a spade a spade, dictatorship to dictatorship."
On this point the ideas of some left, unfortunately, tend to confuse me a lot. I meet people who condemn all dictatorships save the universe but my small town, get offended when they hear about with respect and revere Franco Fidel Castro. Other hate the Western press for being too sensationalist but do not criticize the line fixed by one party to our magazines. Other assicurano che la politica degli Stati Uniti è interventista ed egemonica, ma hanno combattuto in Nicaragua, Angola ed Etiopia. Altri ancora protestano per le strade di New York contro la guerra in Iraq brandendo un cartello raffigurante Ernesto Guevara grande un metro per un metro. Infine conosco persone che definiscono il governo del mio paese “Rivoluzione”.
Non voglio dare una mano a una sinistra che è diventata filosoficamente crudele. Tuttavia non posso accettare che certi risultati (educazione e salute suppongo) vengano raggiunti a detrimento delle mie libertà e dei miei diritti. Non posso essere obbligata a ringraziare eternamente una giunta militare al potere da oltre mezzo secolo perché c’è un medico di famiglia I guarantee that a free Pap test every two years. I can not risk a sentence of twenty years in prison for writing what I think just because I went to school without paying. There is nothing more ruthless and more cruel in this "end justifies the means."
maybe I just confuse me, but in this situation I think there is something unclear. Leftists who defend the rights of the disenfranchised, the pacifists, the liberators of thought, the emancipated radical of money, the ultra-utopian world of a social and beneficial, they speak of my island never use words such as autocracy, militarism, socialism State yellow press, the state monopoly, or simply dictatorship. They could not use that period if they think it is too strong, but replace it with "revolution" is excessively violent hyperbole.
