Louis Proyect:
Isn't it odd that the turning-point in the Cuban revolution coincides 
with a political change rather than an economic change. This just shows 
the bankruptcy of "state capitalism" theorists. 

There is more than a hint of scorn in addressing you as "professor". I am a 
50 year old man who has been organizing demonstrations and other forms of 
solidarity on behalf of "capitalist" Cuba and Vietnam for the better part of 
29 years while people like you and the slimy Max Schachtman were saying 
"a plague on both your houses". Standing on the sidelines while nations 
such as these were facing bombs and blockade from the government you 
pay taxes to earns my total contempt.
