Not expelled, but not accepted.<BR/><BR/>I thought Jordi's article was the best summary of Cuban developments, Too long for my blog.<BR/><BR/>I think the part about the CP not supporting Castro's expropriations, is good ammunition in future fights with the right. They refuse to acknowledge Stalinism was a counterrevolution.<BR/><BR/>The young in Florida, don't have the hate the grandparents have.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.com
