political parties, workers control and self-management, organisations of the oppressed, workers militia as opposed to a standing army committees elected by small farmers and of course soviets if they appear.

Roy Ruddit NW London Iam somewhat puzzled why sees as one of the main dangers the ossible over. hrow of the Castro regime in Cuba.
Of course the replacement of the current system with an American market model would not represent any improvement for Cuban workers.
However, when I read Alain Krivine's and Jeanette Habel's account of their visit to Cuba and find that produce is being directed 'to the tourist hard currency sector which Cubans are banned from I conclude this represents something more than 'tensions'.
Rather Cuba is a society just like those in eastern Europe betore 1989 where workers are not in control.
Cuban workers will, hope fully, wish to defend themselves against American imperialism, but that is rather differentto defending a revolution over which they have never had any control.
