Can anyone argue with this quote from Fidel
Castro made in the course of a speech to commemorate the victory over the Bay
of Pigs invasion by Cuban mercenaries and Yankee imperialists in 1961.During this battle Fidel proclaimed
the socialist nature of the Cuban Revolution.Significant that the image of Che and chants
of Viva Cuba! were features of the recent anti capitailist demos.To all those miserable sectarians
who have lost their way and end up getting their jollies at
young people being kicked around the streets by fascist cops- think!
"Without socialism,Cuba would not be a country in which, for 42 years, no one has suffered the repression and police brutality so commonly practiced in Europe and other parts of the world, where anti-riot vehicles and men dressed up in strange gear, like visitors from outer space, attack the population with clubs, shields, rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper gas and other means."
Viva Fidel!
