: Comrade Gerard HELLO!!!

: I have but a sincere question for you (and everyone else willing to reply)------->

: You say that a state of sorts would have to exist in order to keep the population from returning to capitalism. But, if the people WANTED to return to capitalism, than why should they be prevented from doing so??? Doesn't socialism provide each person with the freedom of choice and free will???

Comrade dont be Utopian there will be facists, the greedy, corporate leaders who are now just citizens and for a time reactionary forces from abroad.

I see education as more important than the gun in preventing a reversion but as Che found out in the democratic socialist republic of Guatamala reactionaries, such as the army, have no aversion to murder and genocide.

Why would the people wish to revert? They dont in Cuba? People rebeling against socialism do not want Capitalism generally just liberty such as freedom of assembly or speech.
