Holy shit that’s abysmal, gusanos are awful. I’m reminded of the portion of Parenti’s speech on revolution, where he talks about a time he spoke with a rural campesino. He asked him if he liked Fidel, to which the campesino replied “with all our soul,” and pointed to a brand new medical clinic on a hill nearby. Previously, they would need to hike through the mountains for miles, avoiding slavers, to get medical care. He was also attending night school, and could finally read, thanks to the revolution.

“Hard work” my ass.
