Guest Rick Research Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 The "Struggle Against Bandits" I would guess refers to hunting down and eliminating opposition inside Cuba to the Communist regime. Or ????? (total information vacuum in these Final Days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Just got this. Ironic given the origins of the Fidelistas that they should have derided their underground opposition in the same terms as had been applied to them....The "staybrite" type finish makes it hard to get non-reflecting images.Somehow I don't think this one is going to make the cut when the regime changes.

Taz Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Just got this.

Ed_Haynes Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 As governments and regimes change, as they all do over time, vocabulary items like 'bandit' shift. I'd not advise holding one's breath for mammoth change in Cuba, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 I concur with Ed.. The system will not be changed anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I disagree-after Fidel goes, I give it no more than a couple of years before it implodes. It'll go in a weekend-buoyed by inevitable political liberalizations and the prospect of US style wealth in the offing. Everyone dreams of living like their cousins in Miami.I'd bet money on it.
