	Cuban Revolution (by L. Proyect)
		The Americans and some of the Cubans were withdrawn by the home companies of the plants for which they worked, or left of their own accord: they found themselves unable to understand the struggle with the United States, unwilling to accept the new way of life that was opening up before them.
		When the Cuban revolution was in its infancy, economists in the Soviet bloc were grappling with the aftermath of Stalin's command economy.
		The Cuban revolution is a continuing monument to the determination of the Cuban people to choose a socialist model.

	IN DEFENSE OF THE CUBAN REVOLUTION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The many enemies of the Cuban revolution, the ultraleft as well as the most prominent bourgeois historians, have employed the most sophisticated technological methods of mass information as well as the awesome power of the US media to confuse the working class and draw misguided revolutionists into certain defeat.
		Instead, the character of the revolution was defined by the young intellectuals of the rural and urban middle classes whose participation dominated the insurrection.
		Noting the contradiction between the socialist orientation of the revolution and his thesis of the bourgeois leadership, Draper concludes that the revolution was betrayed by Castro.

	The Cuban Revolution at the Crossroads
		The Cuban leaders must find their allies in the world working class, making a call to the workers of the world to actively oppose the attempts by the capitalists to stifle the Cuban economy, and to encourage them in their fight for socialism in each country.
		That does not mean that the Cuban people are unaware of the shortages in their standard of living and the abuses, of the suffocating bureaucracy and of the corruption that occurs in the highest spheres of the political system.
		Correspondingly, the Cuban working class and the militants and leaders inside the Cuban CP that are truly communist, will equip themselves with the political and organisational strategies needed to face this challenge, fighting to change the deficiencies in the Cuban regime and promoting the socialist revolution beyond the frontiers of the island.

		It recalls the most hateful days of the Cold War, and continues to hold out the hope that the Cuban revolution can be destroyed.
		Its most enduring feature is the 30-year-old assumption that the United States will be able to subdue the island once again when the Cuban leader dies.
		In 1989 the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) was formed to carry on the struggle, but by 2008, as the party’s “tribes” vie for power, the PRD itself has reverted to the tradition of impunity within its own internal politics.

		It was not a communist revolution (as the quotes from Che and Castro below clearly show).The communists (formerly allies of Batista) sided with Castro in his "coup" to remove all other leaders of the revolution stealing the success of the ant-Batista revolution.
		While the Cuban regime has tried to "play down" this revolt one only has to visit the "museum of the banditism" in Trinidad to see how widespread and forceful this second effort to recoup the revolutionary gains was.
		Julia Sweig shatters the mythology surrounding the Cuban Revolution in a compelling revisionist history that reconsiders the revolutionary roles of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and restores to a central position the leadership of the Cuban urban underground, the Llano.

	Race and the Cuban Revolution
		Cuba's nineteenth-century revolution emerged from a society that seemed highly unrevolutionary-a society that in the political ferment of the Age of Revolution earned the designation "the ever-faithful isle." Between 1776 and 1825, as most of the colonies of North and South America acquired their independence, Cuba remained a loyalist stronghold.
		Haiti's slave revolution served as perpetual example of what might happen to whites in the midst of armed rebellion; but there were smaller, local examples as well.
		It was onto this world that revolution erupted on October 10, 1868; and when it did, it seemed to defy the fear and division that formed the society from which it emerged.

		Celia Hart is a member of the Cuban Communist Party and the daughter of Haydée Santamaria and Armando Hart, both historic leaders of the 1959 Cuban Revolution.
		To understand the Cuban revolution from the standpoint of its socialist character is important for the international communist movement, which faces a challenging struggle, now that all the Stalinist pseudo-theories such as Peaceful Coexistence, Socialist Realism, and Socialism in One Country have collapsed.
		The Cuban Revolution can be lasting, as long as it continues to be a revolution, projecting itself through the world and living for the world and for the dispossessed.

	Perspectives of The Cuban Revolution
		We should note first that the Cuban Revolution was not achieved through the instrumentality of the Communist Party of Cuba, which, indeed, for a long time got along very well with Batista and never, even as late as 1958, believed that Cuba would break away from the United States, no less build a socialist country.
		The Cuban Revolution, then, was won outside of and independent of the Communist Party by forces alien to that sterile sect.
		It is the best guarantee that the Cuban Revolution will endure and remain permanently carrying out the interests of the working class to the end.

		Cubans were torn between the profits generated by sugar and a repugnance for slavery, which they saw as morally, politically, and racially dangerous to their society.
		Cuban independence from Spain was gained by a complex of three larger wars (with the second, La Guerra Chiquita (aka the Small War; 1879-1880) overlapping the end of the first), including La Guerra de los Diez Años (aka Ten Years' War; 1868-1878), and a number of other actions.
		The transfer of duties is in line with Article 94 of the Cuban Constitution, which states "In cases of the absence, illness or death of the president of the Council of State, the first vice president assumes the president’s duties".

	CASTROISM - DEADLY DANGER TO THE CUBAN REVOLUTION
		The Social Revolution must move further and further to the left, the workers must begin to strive for leadership to move the revolution into the direct paths of socialism.
		Thus the poor Cuban people are faced not only with the open and deadly enmity of American imperialism, including the leaders of the U.S. trade unions, but are faced with the heavy burdens of removing the degenerated weight of Khrushchevism-Stalinism brought in by Castro to prevent them from taking over in their own right.
		Their hope would seem to be the development of the socialist revolution elsewhere particularly in Latin America but here, too, Castro, and the Stalinists seem to control all the avenues of approach.

		Cuban society is not the dictatorship you hear about in the media here; people do speak up and criticize, and there is no torture or disappearance of dissidents.
		However, the Cuban revolution, the concept of socialism and Fidel Castro and the Communist Party are seen as legitimate by the majority of the population, and the overwhelming majority would fight in support of the revolution if the U.S. invaded.

	Monthly Review January 2004 István Mészáros
		But the Cuban revolution is also unique in the sense that the overthrow of the servile Batista regime was preceded by three years of armed struggle, sustained by an ever increasing number of the country’s population.
		The Cuban revolution is thus unique also in the respect that in its aftermath even the first signs of a potential anti-imperialist armed struggle had to be crushed by direct or indirect U.S. intervention, as shown also by Che Guevara’s tragic fate.
		The Cuban revolution is unique for a variety of important reasons—including the historical constitution of its leadership from José Martí to the present—so it cannot be imitated or repeated, let alone turned into the compulsory model of revolutionary transformation.

		Nowhere is the Cuban Revolution more vividly symbolized than in the tall, bearded figure of its ``Maximum Leader,'' a fiery young idealist who threw down the gauntlet in 1953 with a daring but abortive attack on the Moncada military barracks.
