Translation: The arrangements are not confiscatory enough.One western diplomat said: “Cuba is reviewing the investment terms and some officials have said they want to fix mistakes made when the country first opened up to foreign investment in the 1990s, closing contracts that were not beneficial enough.”

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

If Michael Moore is the spokesman for the progressive left then Fred phelps is the spokesman for the Christian right.

Ignored by the alt-right
I daresay most on the progressive left would accept MM but almost zero on the CR would accept FP.

I dare say MM is a more talented snake oil salesman; but bs is bs.

so if Cuba represents the values of the left, does that mean North Korea represents the values of the right?

Uh, they are both Socialist countries. Cuba and North Korea are allies and trading partners.

That doesn't even make sense. The country most-aligned with the values of the right? 1776 United States.

North Korea is hard core communist, not socialist, and there IS a difference.
mainstream right? I suspect you are corrrect, but I was speaking of the rightwing, of which we don't have anyone on this board that I'm aware of.

I don't know anyone on any 'right wing' that doesn't want freedom above all else.
