Enlightening article
The special feature in the June 5 Militant, "Cuban workers discuss economic reforms," was enlightening and informative.
Raul Castro's mention of Lenin's emphasis on politics over administration bears further examination, especially within the context of how the Bolsheviks led the Soviet Union under the period of the New Economic Policy. I think it would be helpful if the Militant did an article looking into how the Bolsheviks handled that challenge, and how Soviet workers and farmers responded to their leadership during those years.
Also, it would be good to reprint relevant speeches of the Cuban leaders as they work their way through this challenge.
