Interestingly enough, the Poodle Across the Pond (the BBC) takes a somewhat different tack from the US reports, seemingly anxious to defend the socialist character of the state: "Unlike the prospect of suddenly being left without work that faces many in the UK, as the present government's budget cuts loom, these cuts in Cuba are being undertaken after a long period of consultation with the trade unions and other organisations. Workers know what is going to happen to them. The programme is to be undertaken in stages, the effect on people's livelihoods is to be mitigated and it is important to understand that the announcement does not mean that all the 500,000 workers mentioned are to become unemployed." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11302430 -Matt ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
