What would you call a nation where some of its citizens attack others for celebrating Human Rights Day?
I think I'd call it Castro's Cuba.

It seems Cuba is not the only place where they practice this kind of violence against free thinking citizens. In Mexico, PRD and their sore loser ex-presidential candidate, Lopez Obrador, hire men and women to go out and harass anyone who thinks differently. They thinks it has a positive effect for their cause, as it would appear they are all spontaneous reactions from the people. But the Mexican people know the whole thing was already planned and that those "revolutiary militants" are nothing but a bunch of thugs who sell their services to the PRD or do it in exchange of other favors, like the right to invade a privately land somewhere and then stay and live there unmolested by the authorities.
PRD in Mexico City has got several so-called "popular organizations" to do the dirty job for them, they are the "panteras" a group of pirate taxicab owners or union who don't pay taxes and have ties to the local mafia, another is "panchos villas", an organization of street vendors who get their permissions and rights from the City Hall, governed by PRD of course, and who also invade privately owned lands and get protection from the PRD local government. The PRD use these people to harass PAN officials or candidates and to stir violence in their political events. During the campaign, it was impossible for PAN Presidential Candidate Felipe Calderon to hold a political meeting in Mexico City in peace because Lopez Obrador would send his violent groups into the meetings to stir violence and cause problems.
It is the dogma and the trash of socialism, it is fascism of the worst kind.
