What the capitalists and their lackeys hated about Soviet Russia was not its tyrannical nature but the fact that there was a whole chunk of the earth’s surface where they were no longer able to operate. Ditto Cuba, for a much smaller chunk.Link. Just in passing, isn't that a pretty good reason of what the Wall Street Journal hates about FNMA?

ReplyDeleteAnother way to see this is to imagine that the capitalists looked at that whole hunk of the earth's surface and thought here was a potential power that could end/restrict their ability to operate over an even larger hunk of the earth.
