Are you advocating that this be done in the US?

Gitmo isn't part of Cuba. Nice try at changing the subject from one which is indefensible by you.

Here's a 1997 article which is still quite relevant.

CHRONICLE OF AN UNFORGETTABLE AGONY: CUBA'S POLITICAL PRISONS

Of course, i am advocating it be done everywhere.

If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?

Yes it is. It is on Cuban soil, the US are squatters on the land.

I support Chavez, but i'm iffy about speed of this transformation.

Venezuela is swimming in oil for now, but what happens when it runs out? They need to be able to compete internationally and as there is so much poverty and so many ill-educated people (which Chavez has improved immensely) how can this country succeed without an efficient basic, resource driven economy.

If Chavez doesn't get an educated, modern country quickly - he'll run out of oil first and then it might all go to the poo.

Chavez should consult with Russia on Nanotechnology-based innovation economy. This is the way of the future.

Then you clearly don't understand that in the US, the Constitution states that that the People grant certain powers to the government, not that the government gives rights to the People.

Sorry, but international law states otherwise: Wikimedia Error

I don't think that widespread nationalization would solve US economic woes.

Horses for courses.

I think that nationalization in many areas could be very helpful in a country like Venezuela.
