Contrast this with the Hollywood pukes like Steven Spielberg and Oliver Stone, and Jimeh (I consider Kim Il Jong a reasonable man) Peanut brain Carter.
I am preplexed about something here, so maybe someone can comment on this.
The Cuban dissident effort appears to have fairly broad and high number of organizations (many 'independent' groups), and quite a few leaders (75 or more leading dissidents, authors, etc.. already in jail). Plus an ever increasing grass roots support (thousands of people willing to declare their names public in support of change - Varella Project).
But, I have yet to hear of any 'call-to-action' efforts from the dissidents in Cuba, like strikes, non-violent work stoppages, or other such public non-violent dissobedient measures. Maybe not national in scope, since it may be difficult to communicate/coordinate throughout the entire county, but possibly at the regional (provincial) level.
Certainly in Cuba now there are just-causes for calls of general public displays of dissent, not just on the human rights issues, but just on the people's lack of everyday basic necessities, food, electricity, transportation, living conditions.
