Let's join our Brother Fidel and combat and defeat capitalism. Those capitalist and their fascist henchmen must be destroyed at any cost. Viva la revolucion ! IL SOCIALISMO O MUERTE !

This is horrifying to see Fidel with a member of the fascist, clerical, capitalist ruling class of Iran. This says to the workingclass and revolutionaries of Iran which oppose the Khomenini regime that Cuba is aligned with one of the most backward, reactionary servants of imperialism in the world. Khomeini uses anti-American rhetoric to maintain support but there is no socialism in Iran. It is a bloodthirsty, religious, capitalist dictatorship. Khomeini's clerical garb is a symbol of his despicable government and class. The Cuban revolution can only be sustained with the support of other revolutionary forces around the world and by the international workingclass.

true, the khomeni name is tinged with an awful, authoritarian, theocratic

regime, but they are still enemies of the U.S.--Castro's posture is

obviously more strategic than concrete. Some good sober sentiments,

but let's not let our overt romanticism of the working-class overshadow

the fact that many revolutionary movements in Iran are also U.S.-backed.

would you prefer Bush's backdoor buddy, Saddam?
