@QatzelOk that is exactly what they worship. It is their true religion. Wealth accumulation is virtuous and as such any culture, nation, or value opposed to that is in the wrong.

The opposite is true..

There should be balance in all things. People generally don't need great luxuries Q. But they do need stablity and decent housing, nutritious food and clean water, health care, a cheap and clean way of transportation, and a great education free of a great love for biased views where capitalism and American style consumerism are the only concepts emphasized.

You need to formally write out your ideas, concepts and experiences Q.

I get such pleasure from reading your thoughts. They are adaptable to visual media and an arresting narrative.

It would make such a fine work of art, and science too. Consider It! You should pitch it to the film schools in San Antonio de los Banos in La Habana, the Mexican film schools at the UNAM. Even experimental film places for students in many countries

Such great ideas you have darling Q!

Thirty-two years ago, Ronald Reagan cashed in on his movie stardom to become a mouthpiece for the CIA and its geopolitics, when he made this speech to "the American people."

Notice he doesn't say much about the Sandinista's social goals or accomplishments. He just looks with those sheepish eyes at the TV-addicted public and says scary things like "Soviet Union," "Cuba," and "Libya." And that these "evil forces" are working to take away everything you love and cherish (your remote control for the TV, your suburban station wagon, your superpower status, AIPAC, etc.)

He warns that Nicaragua might invade Mexico and the United States and force us all to be communists.

In the end, the USA funded terrorism in Nicaragua (the Contras) for several years, even paying an American company to develop special chemical and biological weapons to be used (against terror?). Interestingly, the MK Ultra program, a few decades earlier, had the same CIA people trying to develop drugs to erase the minds of people with central american genetics.

In Latin America, the USA has been and continues to be... a callous, murderous greedbag with racism used to bolster its non-arguments and cartoon-like villains.

So far in this thread, Sivad has told us that Ortega is a rapist pedophile, and Noam Chomsky seems to be giving a thumbs-down to the Sandinistas - a kind of left-wing undergrad kiss-of-death.

Thirty years ago, Sivad would have been elaborating on all of Ortega's coke dealing (which never happened), and all the young kids being hurt by cocaine in the USA, and he would have supplied a Playboy article of Jane Fonda saying bad things about Ortega.

Propaganda changes, but the techniques remain the same.
