hi all

would that be the Cuba that killed lots of anarchists after the revolution? 
the one that wanted to nuke the US during the Cuban missile crisis? the one 
that locked up HIV/AIDS victims? or is it that mythical Cuba of the leninist 
intellectuals, their last hope that actually existing socialism still exists 
somewhere. seems like the leninist intellectuals in and of themselves can 
only achieve (third-world) bourgeois nationalist consciousness.

I'm not a Negrian (if such a thing exists) and I don't think there are too 
many of them on this list so I'm not sure who your comments are directed at. 
However hopefully all of us on this list are 'seeking to overthrow the 
capitalist class' something which is not best done by mirroring the 
capitalist organisation of society with an authoritarian party.
