Brother Karim,
A valid point.The human Rights record of Cuba is northing to be proud of but 
to seriously critic it.The Cuban Revolution began by proclaiming itself to 
be different and Independent of both the East and West only to end up 
joining "the axis" of Soviet Imperialism.Genuine revolutionaries were 
humiliated and disregarded in the name of counter revolution.True, Cuba 
achieved a lot in Health and Education,but sometimes we stop from asking at 
what human cost.To pose this State capitalism as communism is a joke ,they 
are two poles apart.
