I don’t know who Tony
Iltis is, but he’s either a tool or deluded:
Unsurprisingly, Western corporate media and politicians
portray Cuba as a Stalinist police state where democracy is denied
and human rights abused. This is untrue.
According to Castro, “We have never used soldiers or policemen
against civilians. We have never had a fire-engine using powerful
water jets against people, as one can see in those images from
Europe itself almost every day, nor [police] wearing masks as if
ready for a trip to outer space. No, it is consensus that maintains
and gives the revolution its force.”
The only thing resembling a gulag in Cuba is in the US’s
illegally-held enclave at Guantanamo Bay where the Bush
administration has built its notorious concentration camp.
