Illegal US Blockade on Cuba?

Question

te a letter to accusing the US:

n your conscience, and on those of the leaders of the world's richest states, lies the genocide which is implicit in the death, every year, of more than 10 million children and tens of millions more people who could be saved. These deaths are the result of a vast assortment of pillage and robbery practiced against Third World countries through the unjust and no longer sustainable world economic order that the rich countries have imposed to the detriment of 80 percent of this planet's population.

How much of what castro say about the Us is true?

what choice are you talking about?

Answer 1

Countries that rely heavily on capitalism, take offense and feels threaten by any attempts to become self sustaining. Self sustaining has the potential of evolving into FREE exchange, and if successful/or gives hope to enough people to believe in it, will lead to the decrees in the moral, faith, and acceptance of capitalism itself; thus jeopardizing the stronghold of resources that the rich have at their disposal.

I think there is a lot to be learned from Cuba’s efforts. Just because some of us may not agree with their political structure of society or even their culture that should not stop us from taking interest on the efforts they are committed to tackling. Efforts such as these can be learned from and reapplied in any way one sees fit.

P.S.
I think the Blockade on Cuba is wrong... it's just makin' it harder for them to live how they wish to live. If they don't like it they can choose to change it there, or leave... so why bother putting a blockade and trying to act like everyone's big brother, we are NOT the saviours of the World, we can't even fix out OWN problems, so why misslead people into thinking we can solve their problems??? It's pointless...

Answer 2

I guess Castro made the wrong choice.
