Defending the Cuban Revolution
Just 90 miles off the coast of
the U.S., Cuba has survived decades of U.S. blockade and other disruptions while
pursuing its unique socialist revolution.
We unconditionally defend the Cuban revolution, and salute the brave
efforts of the Cuban people in their resistance against U.S.
imperialism. While we have our criticisms of Cuba, we offer them as
comrades, and believe Cuba to be a non-Stalinist, revolutionary country
that is deserving of the support of revolutionaries and progressives
everywhere.
We’ve set up this page to post
materials on this very important country.
We welcome your feedback on the materials posted here. Be sure to

the 1970s and 1980s. continued
Why Black Cubans Support the Revolution: Despite all the propaganda
about how hard life is in Cuba, an article in the Aug. 21 Los Angeles Times

unconditionally stands by the revolution – Cuba’s Black population. And
nearly 60 percent of the population in Cuba today is either Black or
Mulatto.

hardships now.” continued
