Spot on Bolus.
What cocncerns me is the complacency and blind faith all the above seem to have in their own 'democratic' system.
When will people realise that its not about subscribing to communist or capitalist regimes, its about striving to develop something better than we have already. When will we accept that what we have is the best we have come up with so far, and not necessarily the best it can be?
But back to the main issue I posted about Oliver Stone. How interesting that nobody seems to have seen what he actually filmed, yet passes judgement freely on the situation?
I own both these films 'Fidel' and 'Looking For Fidel' and they helped broaden my awareness, as well as visiting Cuba myself 2 years ago did.
Stone should be commended for his efforts, and being fined and censored by 'the land of the free', his own country, is laughable and speaks volumes for the perceived 'free speech' and 'free press' of the West.
All the above may also pass judgment on the military uniforms worn by Fidel, Raul and other so-called communist hardliners, i've seen it before. The West can not get its head round politicians in combat gear. But have you ever thought about it the other way round? All our leaders in suits? Like the businessmen that they are? And so likewise, they can't get their heads round our corporate governments either.
In essence: Perception is a dangerous thing. Remedy it with polar opposites. Two sides to every coin. Watch Oliver Stone's insightful hard work and broaden your insight. Just don't tell Uncle Sam you watched it...
Now who lives in a culture of fear?
