Reply #6: They don't? [View All]

Why does the Cuban government forbid the existence of a free press independent of communist government control? I suspect it's because they want as much control over what the people get to know as possible. And why would they do this? Because they present the people with a fiction. Did you see the movie "V" by the Wachowsky brothers? It's about the lies governments fabricate to justify their hold on power. This type of abuse is very prevalent when a dictatorship such as the ones the communist oligarchs have set up in Cuba clings to power for over 50 years, and molds reality to serve and preserve this hold on power. They are corrupt, venal, and don't deserve such power, and in time I'm sure they will lose it. History shows these regimes are eventually destroyed by their own internal corruption.
