"Democracy" for Commies

National Assembly President Ricardo "Little Ricky" Alarcon says Cuba is "people-powered."

Well, I guess he has a point if you mean, Cuba and the dictatorship survive because of the blood, sweat and tears of the Cuban people, who get nothing in return but misery, fear and repression.

Otherwise, I have to ask you, Ricky, "What the fuck are you talking about?"

The flunkies at Prensa Latina "report":

Habana, Nov 27 (Prensa Latina) Without the Granma landing the Peoples Power assembly in Cuba would have been impossible, Cuban Parliament President Ricardo Alarcon stated Monday.

Alarcon said that the 30th anniversary of Peoples Power coincides with the 50th anniversary of the historic arrival of Granma Yacht led by Fidel Castro.

Talking with several journalists, including Prensa Latina, he highlighted the transcendence of that date even more for the action that the Cubans and international figures are readying for celebrating President Fidel Castro s 80th birthday.

Alarcon referred to advances in structure and functioning of the Peoples Power that in 1976 made the first postulations and elections of delegates in the grass-roots and constituted the National Assembly.

Over 100,000 people have carried out since then a work with sacrifice and social recognition, said the Cuban legislator.

Alarcon pointed out the democratic nature of this system, unlike others that impose officials and decisions to safeguard their particular interests.

"Our system has nothing to do with democratic bourgeoisie fiction because, in Cuba, the people wield power, even under the economic siege and US terrorism," he stated.

Peoples participation in decisions like the budget, neighborhood meetings and approval of main laws are evident successes.

Since the beginning of the revolution, the US has strived to make Cuban people suffer any way it can, including starvation and extreme material deficiencies.

This has only resulted in massive support for Fidel Castro, he explained.

He recalled Parliament is in direct contact with the people and dedicates more hours to debate important affairs on all levels.

Get used to more of this Orwellian B.S. in the coming week, before Saturday's anniversary and orgyfest in Havana.
