 The 26th of July Movement Since the Abortive General Strike of April 9, 1958   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Although the Cuban Government has consistently charged that 26th of July Movement is penetrated and influenced by communism, little evidence exists to prove these allegations, although there are continuing reports that some communists have entered the lower ranks of the rebel forces.
However, the dominant role achieved by the 26th of July Movement and the irresponsibility and youthful ambitions of its leadership lend serious doubt to the prospect of its continued cooperation with these groups.
Should the 26th of July Movement try to "go it alone", without the restraining influence of the more moderate members from other opposition groups, continued civil strife and violence would be expected.
