Castaneda: 'It's the Whole Enchilada or Nothing'

Exactly. Interesting how Mr. Casteneda is so smug about his ideological beliefs, yet for some reason keeps demanding that the United States makes his dream possible instead of creating his utopia there in Mexico. Likely because he knows that the most fundamental truth to Marxism is that it is a parasite which feeds on free and healthy societies. In that respect he is right, democracy and capitalism can't coexist. However, I think before Mr. Castenda makes anymore demands, he needs to prove he and his people can get their own house in order first. We don't give into the demands of Marxist beggars.

That's very true, what kind of leaders actually demand that another country take as many of their citizens as they wish to send, instead of at least attempting to improve conditions for them. Even Castro does better than that---he actually wants Cubans to stay in Cuba, he doesn't like it when they left. Castaneda and Fox need to stop traveling to the US and trying to dictate our immigration policies and fix things up at home. Mexico is a wealthy country with loads of oil and billionaires and other resources. They should be ashamed of themselves that the people are so bad off.

Citizen Fox, he of the Land of Infinite Corruption, Drugs & Death-our President's 'good friend'. I learned Mr. Castenada is the son of a former Mexican Pres who nationalized US interests-I knew this had happened ( I thought twice ), & there is soo much to know about the Land to the South-but it is all bad. We are developing such close relations that we are bound to catch many of their political & societal diseases. ( wonder how long before some Bushie hits the panic button & I become one more of the dis-appeared? )

Perhaps we'd understand Castaneda better when we reflect upon some of his statements when he was identified as a Marxist. He wrote in his book "The Economics of Dependency," "Democracy is in absolute contradiction with capitalism."

On Tuesday, Mexican Foreign Secretary Jorge Castaneda called Castro's government an "antidemocratic and human rights-violating regime" - an unthinkable statement just a few years ago.
