Fine post.
And I don't have a problem with Castro fleecing idiots for free labor.

Sounds almost like a Holiday in Cambodia.
To: DigitalVideoDude
Can I get these morons to come over and clean my yard for the revolution? Shoosh, you really have to be stupid to spend your own money to pick fruit for free. These guys had to go to college to be this stupid, you can't get that stupid naturally.

...working in the countryside under a blazing sun, eating rice and beans and sharing a room without air-conditioning or toilet with seven others. Why is this image not working for me?

2300-something years ago one Aristotle taught that both the number and the variety of idiots are infinite. AND HE WAS RIGHT!

I dedicate my free time to do something concrete for the Cuban revolution... At least he does not claim to be doing anything concrete for the Cuban people! That, of course, would require deposing Fidel!
To: DigitalVideoDude
Instead they come to spend their vacations working in the countryside under a blazing sun, eating rice and beans and sharing a room without air-conditioning or toilet with seven others. Interesting that they only want to vacation in the people's paradise - and then go home. Why not move there permanently?

Ya done good, DVD.
The astounding and brazen lunacy shown here by these "turistas" is that they spend a goodly sum getting to Cuba to help the poor when these goobers could stay home and help the poor and needy in their own cities or towns. But, as usual with leftists, that would not satisfy their everlasting itch for self-serving false piety and sanctimony.

"I call it a revolutionary vacation. I dedicate my free time to doing something concrete for the Cuban revolution," Carlo Sarpero, a 26-year-old shop keeper from Genova, Italy, explained, as he repaired a school.
A 'tool' is not always just one of those things you keep in your repair box at home.

Do they have African slave nostalgia trips too?

White guilt slumming.
They do it in America too. They mingle around a homeless shelter or soup kitchen, like they're visiting a zoo.
Then it's back in the limo to the air-conditioned penthouse to tell their friends about their adventure amongst the poor.
This twist just adds that "associated with mass murderers" tinge of danger which really wows the wine and brie audience.

But they still aren't getting the full Cuban Revolution experience. They are missing the part where "Che" selects a few of them and has them shot for insufficient dedication to the cause.
