Boooooring. Authoritarian like the US? Brazil? Macri? A third of Europe? So tired of these cliché pieces. And Wendy Guerra is just not that interesting.

The problem with anything coming out from Cuba is that it will be a product of oppression. Not until there is an end to the endless compromised Cuban character to a pretend ideology and adherence to the dictates of tyranny will true art emerge. The photo of the author was taken by Silvio Rodriguez an indication that there is nothing subversive or rebellious about Cleo. In the end it is just a pose of communist effete chic. There will come a day when liberty will deflower the rancid ghost of Castro and Che and the Cuban flag will again be planted as a beacon f freedom truth and beauty. Libertad!
