[edit] My Views on Cuba

  • Castro claims that cuba is the most democratic country in the world, were 99% of people vote but he fails to tell that they only vote for the people he puts on the ballot! and that people that do not vote may be punished!
  • Fidel Castro is not a Comunist he is a capitalist like the "Napoleon Pig" in Animal Farm.
  • Comunism is a way for Fidel Castro to hold absolute power over Cubans disguised under the proletarian dictatorship.
  • Cuban Health Care is a Myth! See links below. Is Castro's propaganda.
  • Castro blames the American Enbargoe for everything bad in cuba, but he never tells that he can buy everything he could posibly buy in america in any other country.
  • Cuba is not a Comunist society it is more like Slavery. The poor Health Care he offer is just to keep his slave in working conditions, to produce more money for him. Salary pay $10 us dollars per month is not even sufficent to eat!
  • Cubans got to this state of affair little by little everything was taken away from them.
  • All cubans are equal but some (Castro and his family group) are more equal than others!
  • Cubans in cuba have no rights they are consider guilty of whatever charges the "revolution" put agains anyone.
  • The Goverment in Cuba owns everything even your own homes. If you deside to migrate the country the goverment will confiscate your property and size any assets if you have any.
  • You required goverment security permition to exit the country! Doctors are punished at least 5 years of labor in places noone wants to work before they are given the exit permit. Ironically you need to ask the Minister of Education or Health etc for the "liberation or freedom letter" to ask for permition to emigrate!
  • Cuba's sports are part of Castro's propaganda machine.
  • The average salary in cuba is about $10 US.
  • Cubans can hardly adquired anything with cuba currency ("pesos") they have to buy an special currency called "chavitos" that are equivalent to dollars.
  • The revolution is like big brother in novel 1984 thru the eyes of their organizations like the CDR (Defence Commite for the Revolution). this are organization of informers in every neibourghood.
  • Food is unecessarilly unabailable in Cuba. The goverment wants absolute control and that is the way to get it. Have them all eating of Castro's hands!
  • 46 years of rationing books a Guiness record!
  • More than 3 million cuban people in exiled! Another Guiness record!
  • Having a rationing asign does not mean you will get that rationing! You learn that very quickly.
  • Cuban citizens are treated different than foreigners! there is a joke about this. One person asked a kid what he wants to be when he grows up? the kid replays "I want to be a foreingner"
  • What kind of leader of any country will publicly recognice that there is a lot of prostitution in his Country and says also that prostitutes are the most highly educated prostitutes with law degrees and doctors in medicine! what does that says about him? It means their cuban jobs were they earn cuban pesos is not sufficient for them to live and they had to turn to other means to earn a leaving!
  • Fidel Castro have made any opposition to his tyranical rule of Cuba migrate to other countries (O te vaz o te acomodas!, o estas con la revolucion o en contra de ella) or have produce artificial charges of cooperating with the enemy(US)! and place them in jail with extremelly long sentences in the best scenario or death by firing squad in the worst.
  • Any critic to anything in cuba is considered inmediately without question consider a counter-revolutionary and a CIA agent! (did not know it was so easy to get into the CIA) I should have claim my salary since I was a teen. :-)

[edit] My POV

As a former Cuban citizen. I did not have a voice (vote) that could get Fidel Castro out of power. I think is appropriate for me to use Silent Voice as a pseudonym, because I am making allusion to my written Ideas. Like we all I am unique and do not conform to any mold the Cuban communist society imposed by Castro in Cuba try to fit me in. Now I am living in freedom. I have experience the mobster's regime personally. I am bringing my voice to the chorus of voices against dictatorships, communist regime and intolerance etc that still lives on our planet.

One of the premises for a communist society is Equality or so they say in books. In an Ideal world we should all be equal. The sad true is that we are not, I do not think of this as something too bad. It will be like having days without nights or vice versa you will not be able to appreciate the warm of the sun if it was not for the cool nights! That is one of the main reasons why I consider that communism will always fail. Because puts the collective in front of the individual. Is funny how it works out reverse in Communist countries were the top ruling party try very hard to differentiate themselves from the working class. On the other hand there is infinite more humanity and care for the individual in a capitalist country than I ever experience living in one of the last totalitarian communist countries(Cuba). I have also made many edit under 162.130.1.221.

I have made contributions in Opposition to Castro but for me it have being very hard to keep NPOV on the subject. I have let other people make very extensive edits and re-write of what I have contributed. The fact that I do not like communism does not mean that I have an agenda to banish it or to impose my POV on others. I think I mentioned before that I also believe in tolerance. In my opinion communism will disappear by itself. Just like it did in Russia. Is an interesting consequence of survival of the fittest principle of Evolution.

[edit] My comments about Neutral Point of View NPOV

About the NPOV principle in WikiPedia I think that each of us have a point of view and that’s a fact and there are many subtle ways of expressing your POV and make it look as NPOV. Maybe it should be allow taking multiple POV in WikiPedia so that all voices can be heard! Tolerance should be the principle. There is probably as many POV on earth as humans inhabiting it. Why should we censor or repress others people point of View? For example Fidel Castro's article does not have a section on Opposition to Castro now that I believe is a manipulation of information since there is such a thing as Opposition to Castro. One only have to make a few searches on Google to notice how many groups of Cubans oppose him inside as outside of Cuba.

Information can be manipulated by omission of important topics for the sake of being NPOV. There are so many omissions in that article. Another point is that POV change with time and between cultures, countries etc. Maybe in the future people with more knowledge (hopefully!) than what we have right now will treat for example Castro more harshly or even maybe in a more benign way that we currently do today. The reason for that is that they may have information that we currently do not have. So we need to start thinking of WikiPedia as a repository of Information than can also survive time. I do not think the current WikiPedia history is sufficient for this. So the way some of us think about him or about anything else today will be lost forever. Probably many of you can browse many iterations of a paper encyclopedia and notice that after years many definitions get corrected as we gain more knowledge and some topics may loose importance and may even get delete. The question is should we keep snapshots of WikiPedia in time. I think we should. So that people in the future will know the way we think now and can study us on why we think the way we do today and all the mental blocks we currently impose ourselves.

[edit] Defending the right to existence in Wikipedia for Opposition to Castro

Here is my rant convincing people at Wikipedia to keep Opposition to Castro when it was proposed for Deletion.

  • Some of you have argued that there is no article in Wikipedia of Opposition to XXX and therefore there should not be an article on Opposition to Castro. This is kind of like a chicken and egg paradigm then never will there be Opposition to XXX. Should that be a policy? If someone does not write the first article and is accepted then there will never be an article called Opposition to XXX! Well, I think it had to start with some one it is just pure coincidence that this someone happens to be Castro or maybe not. Maybe Opposition to him is very strong. Therefore I think the argument of not writing one article type A because articles type A have never being written is flaw. If we are to keep Wikipedia moving forward we the Wikipedians should not slow ourselves down just because something have not being done before.
  • On the other hand there is a lot more to put here there is a lot more opposition groups in Cuba and outside Cuba. And placing all of this in Fidel Castro’s article will not be such a good Idea because it will be too long to fit in there but I also think that some stub about Opposition to Castro something should be place on Fidel Castro’s article that also redirects here. See from the way I see it We as a collective determine what Wikipedia will be like. Open your mind to new possibilities. Yes there is Opposition to XXX being XXX anyone you like to put in there.
  • The next question is should it be part of Wikipedia? To understand Castro I think a lot more needs to be written about the Opposition is like a yi without yang (yin yang) the interplay between the 2 forces is what take us where we are today. So Wikipedia will be incomplete without it. Fidel Castro looks by reading his article like a very benign dictator. I can tell from my own experience that benign dictatorship or benevolent dictators are an oxymoron. There is not such a thing. How many of you have experience repression? How many of you have not have the right to speak or write what he or she think without the real fear to be incarcerated? Many of you can imagined this but is a different thing than living it!
  • The facts are that the Cuban revolution since its beginning was ruthless towards some groups of the Cuban society and step on many toes including some countries there too. How are we to pretend now that this does not generate very strong opposition? Is like being sting by a hornet and not retracting your arm, it is a natural reaction to the action of being sting! Is a natural reflex. Is very sad today also that the Cuban revolution continues to be ruthless towards any opposition that is why they appear to violate any Human Right and the list grows longer every day. They have not learn their lesson yet and they continue to violate all basic human rights. They had their chance to redeem themselves by opening the country to democracy but they know that they will be ousted if they do. Castro claims that 99 % of the people vote in Cuba and that Cuba is the most democratic country in the world. Well, if I had say this in Cuba I will be sitting down now in a very lonely prison cell or maybe under the firing platoon. Many in Cuba have the valor to Oppose Fidel Castro and we can see that on the news every day and some of you want to close eyes and not recognize that such people exist? See reality for what it is. We do no live in a perfect world were dictators do not have Oppositions!

[edit] Some Links of Interest

Article I started and have made many additions it was originally and addition I made to Fidel Castro's article, we are now deciding if it should stay as an Article or if it should be incorporated into Castro’s article. I think if we want to be fair it should be in Castro's article since by reading that article one gets the impression that everyone in Cuba and outside likes him when the opposite seems to be true.
