You saying the PPP and especially Cheddie's wife did not lean toward Communism is like saying Nehru never uses the words Namakarram CrabDagg in just about every post. So how come the PPP were in bed with Russia and Cuba, they just loved their uniforms?
That the PPP didn't enact communism is because they couldn't.
1. In the 60s British Guiana was a colony, so they couldn't but they received much help from Cuba and the USSR in that period.
2. After 1992 they also couldn't as the Cold War was over, Russia had abandoned its project, Cuba, and wasn't going to embark on another.
Had the PPP taken Guyana into independence they would have quickly emulated Castro. Guyana would have suffered a similar embargo, and the Jagans, like Fidel, would have gunned down any who attempted to flee from the mess that they had created.
The PPP, until recently, boasted that they were a Marxist Leninist party and that was in their constitution.
