Democracy in Cuba
Annie Birdsong
book by a former Nicaraguan leader. From what I can tell, here is how
Cuba's system works, which looks good to me. President Bush apparently
thinks he
should be the dictator of Cuba. He's trying to tell them how to change
their democracy. He wants political parties, which would allow
mafia-ridden political machines to form.
DEMOCRACY IN CUBA:
The government also amended the constitution at this time in
1992 to make the system more democratic. They now have tiny
neighborhood size election districts. All people in a
neighborhood, not just those in the Communist Party, can nominate
candidates for the National Assembly and the candidates they select do not
have to be in the communist party. The people select two to eight
candidates from which one will be elected. On election day,
98 percent of the people come out to vote for their
candidates.
These Representatives of the National Assembly come together to select a
president of the National Assembly and to select a group of people to
represent them in the Council of State.
The Council of State nominates a candidate to be the
president of the Council of State. Castro receives 100 percent of the
votes for this high position.
This system may prove to be infinitely more
democratic than a system where you never see the face of the people who
nominate the candidates, though you feel sure its representatives of
wealthy businessmen whose interests clash with the common good. And
you don't know the people they nominate.

One's about as reliable as the other.

Annie, I think I speak for every conservative on this newsgroup, when
I say that we would all be very happy to buy you a one-way ticket to
Havana so that you could report to us first hand on the wonders of the
workers' paradise, rather than have to browse through a Pastor's (sic)
for Peace website and a book by a former Nicaraguan leader (let me
guess--Ortega?).

you name 'em, I hate 'em all when they're
around. This love of Castro tells me
a lot about the Left. We can have the
same government under American Lefties
and be told that we're in a paradise.
Get off it, Annie Birdshit! You'll
crush dissent like Castro and love it.
Up yours.

They both lie, evade, "prove" by the exception rather than the rule,
and omit crucial facts.
They're playing out of the same book.
