Well SAID!

"You still haven't told anyone what the heck is this line below from you suppose to mean:

"We shouldn't stuck in cold war era and see what is going on right now."????" Zendanian

I only paraphrased your statement to show the contradictions in your claim. From one hand you're saying "revolution within revolution" and new form of establishment written by S. Farber and from the other hand you close your eyes on the ongoing torture and imprisonment in Cuba. Why is that? We are talking thousand and thousand people who were either escaped from Cuba or tortured, imprisoned by Castro followers. Why you are closing your eyes? Don't you see your crocodile tears against S.A.V.A.K donesn't work anymore. Torture? Don't you see torture by your comrades around the world. ?
Over 1 million 2 hundreds thousand people were killed by your comrade in Ethipia. The bastard didn't get caught. He ran to Zimbobwe and training Mugabe to kill his dissents. Where is your heart for those people. Why do you close your eyes? Keep talking about 1 person like Eshghi doesn't wash off crimes of those comrades in Cuba, Ethiopia, Zimbowe, Laos..........etc
Are you really this much low in I.Q. ? or you're trying to deceive people intentionally. Do you think Iranians are going to buy these none sense you're writing here or closing your eyes to the fact of life in Cuba? no. These people are smarter enough to buy these garbage. Don't waste your time. Poor Cubans swimming cross the ocean to get to the "Free world". Don't you know that? are you this much UNeducated.?
Like I said before, I can't keep educating you. Get some college courses or read more books about Cuba. Read more books about any other country that comrades massacred poor people over there. Start from those links I sent you and if you have any question please don't hesitate to ask.

You remain an illiterate, ignorant, incoherent closet-fascist clown. You do provide me comic relief of the day in here (filling up the void from Demo).
If you weren't a blind and deaf fool you might have realized that the phrase "Revolution within revolution" was not from Prof. Samuel Farber, but it was said by one of the youth in those hip hop videos.
As mentioned previously, first reach a level where you could make coherent statements, without misspelling, then start "lecturing" about your two color world of "black and red."
You presence in here as an illiterate, incoherent fool, providing daily comic relief to all is appreciated.

The whole comment is personal attack. The comment doesn't bring anything to the table. I tried to educate you, but seems you're very rigid in your thinking (most likely because of old age) so I try NOT to waste my time anymore. Keep dreaming that torture of political dissents in Cuba by Castro gang is the result of racism. Mental musterbation.

The same way a dancer can not be divorced from a dance, an avatar remains inseparable from the comments it posts. Your responses in here remain incoherent, illiterate,....it is inseparable from "your body of works!"

با درود

تصمیم گرفتم که به فارسی بنویسم

بنا بر این بهانه آی‌ وجود ناداشته باشد.

دوست عزیز، کوبا تنها کشور آمریکا لاتین هست

که مردمش توسط فیدل کاسترو و اوباش های

او شکنجه و زندانی میشوند. هیچ کشور دیگری

در آمریکا لاتین دارای وسایل شکنجه مانند کوبا نیست.

لطفا اون لینک‌های که فرستاده‌ام مطالعه کن. به وسیله

اون لینک ها تو قادر خواهی بود که بدانی در کشور‌های کمونیستی

چه میگذرد.
اون‌ها همانند جمهوری اسلامی که قادر به

اداره کشور نیست به سلا‌های مخرب برای

سرکوب ملت متوسل میشوند. در حقیقت

جمهوری اسلامی و حکومت‌های کمونیستی ۲ روی یک

سکه هستند. هر دو با عمل زور به بقای خود

ادامه میدهند.

"We shouldn't stuck in cold war era and see what is going on right now."????
Ignorance is your case seems to be almost genetic.
The fact that you remain totally ignorant of the extent of racism against the black population in Cuba, is only another indication of just how much you don't have the vaguest clue WTF you're talking about.
Then again you seem to enjoy making an ass out of yourself, so be it.

"Cuba remains the only country in Latin America that represses virtually all forms of political dissent. In 2010 the government continued to enforce political conformity using criminal prosecutions, beatings, harassment, denial of employment, and travel restrictions"
The above statement has been taken from this link.

Read it carefully and educate yourself. I don't have time keep educating you. That is your task. If you have any question about this article, please let me know.

You are wrong! In fact there are quite a few sides to a paranoid schizophrenic, with all due respect!!!??? One side says Anglophile; the other side says Hassan; yet we have Roger Rabbit, and let’s not forget being a lackey of a pimp like Ardeshir Zahadi…that MUST really hurt!

Have a GREAT ONE!

CUBA SINCE THE REVOLUTION OF 1959
A Critical Assessment

By Samuel Farber

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Uncritically lauded by the left, and impulsively denounced by the right, the Cuban revolution is almost universally viewed one dimensionally. Farber, one of its most informed leftwing critics, provides a much needed critical assessment of the Revolution’s impact and legacy.



PRAISE:

“A courageous and formidable balance-sheet of the Cuban Revolution, including a sobering analysis of a draconian ‘reform’ program that will only deepen the gulf between revolutionary slogans and the actual life of the people.”

Mike Davis, professor, University of California, Riverside; author, Planet of Slums and In Praise of Barbarians


“Farber’s comprehensive and well-written assessment of Cuba’s experience since 1959 is rooted in history, informed by the comparative sociology of communist regimes, and rich in insightful and feisty analysis.”

Jorge I. Domínguez, Professor of Mexican and Latin American Politics and Economics, Harvard University


“‘My political roots are in the classical Marxist tradition that preceded Stalinism in the USSR,’ writes Samuel Farber at the beginning of his book. Based on that political and theoretical outlook, opposed as much to neoliberal thought as to the perversions of Stalinist and postmodern communist statism, Farber sets out to critically explore the course followed by the society, government, and power structures that emerged from the Cuban Revolution of 1959. His field of research covers the irreducible hostility of the US establishment, Cuba’s historical inheritance, and the alternatives and decisions of its leaders in the last decades, up to and including the problems and challenges they face in these times. His study ends with a careful analysis of the premises and reform proposals currently being discussed in Cuba. A necessary and suggestive reading for all of those concerned with Cuba’s future and with the threat posed by the imperial power over the entire Caribbean region.”

Adolfo Gilly, Emeritus Professor of History, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and author, The Mexican Revolution


“This important, very well written, and quite interesting book, evaluates the 52 years of the Cuban revolution under a classical Marxist (pre-Stalinist) viewpoint. Samuel Farber doesn’t pretend to be impartial: he advocates a transition toward a revolutionary, participatory socialist democracy, based on majority rule, civil rights, and liberties. And yet his book is thoroughly, painstakingly documented. He evaluates, with surprising insights, Cuba’s performance on national sovereignty, political democracy, economic growth, social welfare, race, gender, and the stand of domestic and external dissidents and critics. It is up-to-date, including an examination of the guidelines for the VI Party Congress, and ends with a good balance sheet and Marx and Engels’ views. Expect a strong reaction both from the right and the left. Don’t miss it! ”

Carmelo Mesa-Lago, Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Economics and Latin American Studies, University of Pittsburgh


“Samuel Farber’s work on Cuba has long championed revolutionary democratic socialism from below. His latest book, a sophisticated and nuanced historical synthesis of the Cuban Revolution since 1959, provides an indispensable guide to the politics of a tiny island state that helped determine the history of Latin America and the dynamics of the Cold War in the latter half of the twentieth century. With a magisterial grasp of historical detail, and an incisive analytical eye, Farber offers an unparalleled cartography of the ideological debates and political outcomes of Cuba’s economic development, foreign policy, socio-cultural fluctuations in race and gender, and working-class and peasant realities under the rule of the Castro brothers. While acknowledging achievements of the revolutionary process in education and health, and defending Cuban sovereignty against imperial intervention, Farber shatters many of the idyllic myths propagated by left-wing apologists for the regime’s authoritarianism. The geriatric transition from Fidel to Raúl seems to promise a strategic shift toward a Cuban version of Sino-Vietnamese, state-led capitalism. A revolutionary democratic alternative, Farber shows, will only be possible through socialist resistance from below.”

Jeffery R. Webber, Queen Mary, University of London, author of From Rebellion to Reform in Bolivia: Class Struggle, Indigenous Liberation and the Politics of Evo Morales


Praise for Sam Farber’s earlier books


Revolution and Reaction in Cuba, 1933–1960:

“A very intriguing and illuminating account of the social and political background of the Cuban revolution and its early stages. A valuable study.”

Noam Chomsky


Before Stalinism. The Rise and Fall of Soviet Democracy:

“When did the Russian Revolution go wrong and why? Whether one shares Samuel Farber’s views or not, his is an important, at once thoughtful and passionate, contribution to one of the major debates of our time.”

Daniel Singer, European correspondent for The Nation


“Before Stalinism is an honest and searching attempt to identify the roots of Stalinism in the pre-Stalin period. It can be recommended as a painstaking and scrupulous assessment, animated by a commitment to socialist democracy.”

Boris Kagarlitsky, Member of the Moscow Soviet


Social Decay and Transformation. A View from the Left:

“The left cannot ignore the growing social decay. It must provide rational answers for the immediate future and long-term answers leading beyond the confines of existing society. With this book, closely reasoned and well-argued but also full of contained political passion, Sam Farber makes an important contribution to our search for a radical alternative.”

Daniel Singer, European correspondent for The Nation


The Origins of the Cuban Revolution Reconsidered:

“This is an excellent book. It is a first-rate synthesis and interpretation of the Cuban revolutionary experience — both the rebellion against the Batista regime and the consolidation of power in 1959-60. It is intelligent, well written, and well organized. It draws thoughtfully and well from prior scholarship on the Cuban revolution. The use of primary sources enriches the book at key points. It is a major contribution to the field of Cuban studies.”

Jorge I. Domínguez, Professor of Mexican and Latin American Politics and Economics, Harvard University



ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Samuel Farber was born and raised in Marianao, Cuba, and came to the United States in February 1958. His books on Cuba include Revolution and Reaction in Cuba, 1933-1960 and The Origins of the Cuban Revolution Reconsidered. Farber was active in the Cuban high school student movement against Batista, and has been involved in socialist politics for more than fifty years.

Let’s not forget that before Castro, Cuba, under the dictatorial rule of Batista, an American stooge, had become a MAFIA run territory, with American sanction; it was being run by the MAFIOSIS like Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lanskey, Traficant and other NY/Chicago mobsters! Cuba had become America’s back door whore house and gambling heaven, with profits going right back in the pockets of those Gangsters! Ones who suffered the ordeal were none other than the Cubans, with having part of the population starving! It was quite similar to M R Pahlavi, the traitor's, reign of terror and his SAVAKi henchmen/murderers ransacking Iranian wealth!

PS: Godfather I was an accurate depiction of Cuba before revolution!

Except for Castro and his gang who are the new millionaires, the 11 million Cubans have to suffer

the exploitation of the omnipotent state, rationed food, lack of housing and the indignity of being

second class citizens in their own country


below link sounds like criminal mullahs who occupied Iran.

The link shows similarity between "Shia black who occupied Iran and Reds who occupied Cuba"
Both are similar and both are failure.
