COMMUNIST INDOCTRINATION
As the years pass and the wait for a visa wears on, she learns to work around the Communist indoctrination.
When she’s asked to write a glowing essay on Fidel Castro, she writes biography, complete, thorough, but no glowing appraisal because at 10, she knows more than Bernie Sanders at 78.
She’s a little more effusive with Camilo Cienfuegos, the more charismatic comandante who mysteriously “disappeared” during a plane flight. Even she, a child, suspects foul play.
Her little brother, a smart-aleck class clown, also has to make adjustments.
When his teacher asks him to form a sentence with the words “agrarian reform,” her brother eagerly chimes in out loud: “The agrarian reform is very sour!” His sentence rhymes in Spanish — and it’s a hit with classmates, but not with the teacher, an ardent revolutionary.
She is so mad she grabs him by an ear and pulls so hard and long that the boy bleeds all the way home. The next day, the mother goes to school and she could be heard screaming to the teacher that if she ever touches one of her kids again, she’ll be the one dragged down the street.
The girl fears that her mother could go to jail and she would be without parents. But her mother is still respected because she had earned the place she gave up on principle.
Because the “free education” in Cuba isn’t free, and the Castro literacy program the American left has bought into is rooted in indoctrination and devotion to the one-party political system.
Your apparatchik views on Cuba, senator, are as old and dated as the photos of me and my mother.

Author is a Democrat. Her point is totalitarian literacy isn’t knowledge for its own sake but to ensure conformity.
Such a kind of literacy is a sick joke.
Huell Howser went to Cuba in 1996. We bought the DVD of it. Cuba was in bad shape and it looked about the same then as it does now. No improvements. Our neighbor went there in 2012 or 2013 and it sounds like it was the same then. Conan O’Brien went there in 2015, and still looks the same. Like all Ghetto, except the hotels that tourists go to.

Socialism is unnatural. Hard workers are stripped of their earnings. Lazy slackers are given an abundance of things that they don’t ever have to lift a finger for. The ruling party elite has everything.
A completely unnatural situation that can be sustained only by brutal repression. So socialism turns into communism.
Still a registered Democrat, the author doesn’t see where the Democrat Party is going, after 50 years when she should have noticed it.
I guess she prefers a slower march to communism.
The author had better hope Bernie and his crew don’t some day take over this country. Because she’d certainly get the firing squad. A quote from one of Bernie’s heroes:
“To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.”
Che Guevara
Totalitarianism is a natural fit with Communism. You cannot leave people to their own devices.
The perfect society requires a technocratic elite to run it.
A friend of mine shared some simple wisdom that encapsulates all of this
In our Republic we have freedom OF choice
In a Socialist Paradise as Comrade Bernie envisions for us, We have freedom FROM choice
Choose
But do so Wisely
The author hates Bernie and Trump. Stupid comes in all forms.
Say bye bye to Florida Comrade Sanders.
I have liberal relatives, who went to Cuba several years ago, when 0bama was pushing travel to Cuba as a great cultural experience. I think he changed some rules about who could go there, etc. Anyway, the liberal relatives who went there, basically wrote about how it was “stuck in the 60s”, as far as culture and technology.
I have to think Bernie’s going to be at least a bit bruised by his defense of Castro and Cuba’s amazing government.
BTTT
At least they got to wear neat uniforms.
Free stuff will always be a siren song for many.
Agree 100%
Canadians have been able to travel to Cuba for decades. I spoke with a few who went. They were appalled. One told me that a ragged-looking fellow approached him on the beach and begged him to bring him some food from the hotel buffet because he was starving.
Bump
Bernie will get the public school teacher vote. Bet on it.
