No shit they can't speak their mind, it's called communism! They fear of death? If it's so bad, wouldn't they die anyway, with or without fighting?
[/quote]Communism has nothing to do with people being able to speak their minds. It's an economic system based upon redistribution of wealth, the removal of private property, and ending class distinctions. Citizens in Cuba are not allowed to speak their minds because it is an oppressive dictatorship, not because it is communist.
