Neurosis capitalista

Why don’t you criticize Cuba too?
A fictional essay. Today the police came to my office. I often get visits from people I don’t know, and out of politeness I don’t tell them I’m extremely busy. Especially when someone pulls out an FBI badge or one from some other agency and doesn’t give me time to read it. In short, they…
