Cuba has not accepted the domain and imposition of an empire that has wanted to dominate us for over half a century [America].

Cubans are a people who suffered from capitalism in the cruelest way, in the social order, the economic order and the political order.

The United States turned to repression when its prominence started to slip in Latin America through establishing military dictatorships.

With the Cuban presence in Namibia it was possible to achieve the security and real freedom of that country and the end of Apartheid in South Africa, with the modest contribution of the international military presence in Africa.

America did not need to be discovered because quite simply America had the American-Indians. There were whole groups of people that already lived there including very developed societies such as the Incas, the Aztecs, and the Mayans. But then came the European vision that saw the conquest as a source of advanced growth away from medieval Europe. The new revolutionary bourgeois trend formed a new perspective on what was democracy that they saw as an improvement to the democracy of ancient Greece.

In Cuba we had the most ferocious form of capitalism for 60 years. It dominated every sphere of life.

To apply communism is an aspiration, in fact it has never been applied anywhere, it is really still a utopia.
