education and the struggle

internet access has been very limited and slow...the US blockade prevents important updates such as laying fiber optic lines, etc. a long conversation on education revealed the important link between knowledge and experience. the commitment...not without criticism and reflection...to the socialist experiment is not simply a result of wanting to ¨be like Che¨ but rooted in an overall experience of support, cooperation, concern and solidarity around education that extends from the student to the teacher to the classroom to the family to the neighborhood to local groups to national federations such as the committees for the defense of the revolution the national federation of women, etc, etc. one other point...their is a rising tide of neoliberalism-capitalism on a global scale and of course Cuba is an island...one serious question revolves around how Cuba will defense itself against the rising tide...the pressures are great because Cuba is forced to interface with global capitalism across a number of industries, in agriculture, etc. in order to survive...the creeping capitalism can be very insidious, so in Cuba the battle of ideas to protect the process of the socialist experiment rages on and Cuba walks on a razor´s edge while the rest of the world stands on the edge of a precipice...let us hope that we do not step in to the abyss...the struggle continues...viva la revolucion...venceremos...d
