Cuba - March 31, 2026

USA has already taken Venezuela…. Maduro and the Bolivarians surrendered, while Diaz Canel and the Stalinists of the CP seek a pact with Trump….

To defeat the US imperialism and its Colonizing offensive
which imposed a blockade on Cuba, militarizes the continent with the “Shield of the Americas” and batter migrants with the ICE-Gestapo

Let the workers and peasants revolution return in Latin America and make the American working class to rise which is already taking to the streets against “King Trump”

Let’s restore the workers and peasants Cuba!
Based on the councils of workers and rank and file soldiers, expropriating imperialism and the new rich of the CP so that the people can eat. These new rich have handed in the island to Capitalist restoration

El imperialismo yanqui está a la ofensiva por quedarse con el petróleo y demás recursos recolonizando su “patio trasero”. Ya puso sus garras en Venezuela, le declaró la guerra a los explotados al interior mismo de EEUU con la Gestapo del ICE, matando, apaleando y encarcelando a los trabajadores migrantes. Está llenando de bases militares el centro y sur del continente y con el tratado del “Escudo de las Américas” alista a las Fuerzas Armadas cipayas por si necesita aplastar a la clase obrera a sangre y fuego si esta se subleva, tal como lo hiciera con el Plan Cóndor en los 70. Mientras, para recuperar las rutas del petróleo en Medio Oriente, Trump masacra en Gaza y bombardea Irán junto con su socio Netanyahu que viene de largar una ofensiva militar en el Líbano.

US imperialism is at the offensive, attempting to take the oil and other resources, recolonizing its backyard. Its claws are already on Venezuela. It has declared war on the exploited within the US with the ICE-Gestapo killing, smashing and imprisoning migrant workers. It is filling Central and South America with military bases, whereas with the “Shield of the Americas” treaty it is getting its lackey armed forces ready in case it needs to smash the working class with a bloodshed if it revolts, as they did in the ‘70s with the ‘Plan Condor’. Meanwhile, in order to recover the oil routes in the Middle East, Trump is massacring Gaza, bombing Iran together with its partner Netanyahu who has just launched an offensive in Lebanon.

USA steps on Latin America by making the lackey Bolivarian Bourgeoisies to kneel before it. With the surrender of Delcy in Venezuela and Petro in Colombia, they complete the isolation of Cuba, deepening the economic blockade, preventing the oil from reaching the island when it is a vital resource for transportation, the electrical system, production, etc. The so called “Bolivarian Revolution” has shown to be a scam of cowards surrendered to imperialism and Wall Street.

Now, with the decline and downfall of the electrical system infrastructure, with scarce food and medicine, hunger, miserable rations for the exploited and empty warehouses, it is the working class in the capitalist Cuba the one suffering the betrayal of Castrism to the revolutions in Latin-American and the US. Castrism, for decades, has sold the revolutionary processes out from north to south, making pacts with the “progressive” bourgeoisies and imperialist “democracies”. This way, Castrism prevented the revolution from expanding to the rest of the continent, imposing a true “Berlin Wall” in America, thus isolating the Cuban proletariat and therefore leaving the island to the fate of the imperialism blockade. They are starving the people. Today, US imperialism is deepening its colonizing offensive strangling the island in order to keep it as a trophy and thus chastise the workers from Cuba and the whole continent, showing them “socialism” is falling apart so that the working class never dares to rise up in its name or attack the private property.

Stalinist and Castrist reactionary utopia of “socialism in one island” led the Cuban revolution to a catastrophe

With the reactionary Stalinist utopia of “socialism in one country” and more than ever in one island, Castrism sank the worker and peasant Cuba, doing away with all the revolutionary gains.
Even a worker state, in a world capitalist economy, needed to buy and sell, get supplies that were scarce, etc. So, either it played a role of stronghold to expand the revolution to the whole continent and especially to where the productive forces were more advanced, as in the USA, in order to get supplies, technology, etc., or it would inevitablyperish under the capitalist boot.The latter is what actually happened with the capitalist restoration consumated and legalized by the Castros with the reform of the Constitution in 2019.

Indeed, there was no way out for the Cuban workers state and to defeat the blockade by keeping the peaceful coexistence with imperialism, as Stalinism had done after the Second World War. Only by expanding the revolution and, as Che said, making “one, two, three Vietnams” all over the continent could Cuba had a way out as a workers state.
Only with the workers and peasants revolution throughout Latin America and opening the way to revolution within the USA, with the fraternal cooperation of the proletariat and the peasantry all across the Americas could end hunger, underdevelopment and misery in Cuba because they would get the US technology, Argentinean meat and wheat, Venezuelan oil, Chilean copper, etc.

By betraying revolutions in the whole continent, the Cuban CP has created the best conditions for imperialism. Now imperialism is coming for them.

Castrist Stalinist bureaucracy has isolated the Cuban workers from their continental siblings. They buried the Chilean revolution of 1973. They have sold out the revolution in Central America, the upsurged Nicaragua and the US Black movement. Later, they took the revolutionary wave in the early 21st century to the feet of the “progressive” bourgeoisies or the “Bolivarian revolution” scam, supported by the World Social Forum and its “left wing”, the renegades of Trotskyism.

Thus, a truly deceit against the Cuban revolutionary masses was established, making them believe the Bolivarian bourgeoisies “would break the isolation of Cuba”, when the true allies of the Cuban proletariat were the revolutionary masses of the Venezuelan Caracazo, the masses of the 2003-2005 Bolivian revolution, the ones in the 2001 Argentina revolution, the anti-war movement in the USA, etc. Castrism has aborted, diverted and betrayed these aforementioned revolutionary processes. The capitalist restoration is settled on these betrayals.
With the masses demoralized and removed from the scene, the Castrist bureaucracy saw the best moment to become an owner class, a new millionaire bourgeoisie linked to common businesses with Canadian and European imperialist gangs throughout joint ventures. They made common businesses with the Spanish hotel chain Melia.,the French oil company Total, the mining company Sherrit and assured their property with the inheritance right.

The defeats and diversions of the revolutionary wave from 2019 to 2021 -namely the Chilean ‘Plaza de la Dignidad’, the workers and peasants fighting in Ecuador and Colombia, the fight in the USAof the working class, the black movement and the militant youth taking to the streets- caused by the treacherous leaderships and, in particular, the Communist Party, accelerated the consolidation of the new Cuban bourgeoisie as landowner under the form of cooperatives and hundreds of private companies that exploit workers under the worst conditions. They do not even have the right to unionize.

Cuban workers and peasants hate the new rich of the Communist Party, who are never hungry, have their swimming pools full, never suffer a power-cut and enjoy delicious food in their neighborhoods, they dress in Armani and drive Mercedes. Meanwhile, in the name of “socialism”, they exploit and torment the people with hunger; they smash and imprison workers when they revolt against so many deprivations just like they did in 2021.

This way, by selling out the continental anti-imperialist fight of the masses and doing away with the last renmants of the Workers Cuba gains until it sank in the Capitalist catastrophe, with the masses blaming “socialism” for their woes, they created the best conditions for Imperialism not only to restore capitalism but also to achieve its most desired victory, which is to go all the way and write in blood the battle-cry of Castro, i.e. “socialism is dead, even in Cuba”. With this, they want the Latin American masses to punish and hate socialism so that never again the exploited dare to attack their property. The US imperialist won’t carry “democracy” into the island but “Batista’s Cuba” should the Cuban revolution, linked to the Latin American and the US revolutions, does not stop it.

As in 1989, today the renegades of Trotskyism are at the service of the millionaire new bourgeoisie of the Communist Party

The neo-Stalinist left, together with the Communist Party, drove the 2019-2021 revolutionary rebellions to the feet of the “progressive” bourgeoisies such as Boric, Petro, Castro or Biden, even if hundreds of martyrs had left their lives and thousands have been mutilated. This very left sent written petitions to Biden, the murderer of the Palestinian masses, asking him to end the blockade to Cuba. Today, this left is tied to the apron-stringsof the millionaire bourgeoisie of the CP. They tell us that, to end Cuba’s blockade, the way forward is a humanitarian flotilla, or to tie the fate of the Cuban masses to the capitalist governments servants of the US, such as Lula, Delcy Rodriguez, Sheinbaum (President of Mexico), i.e. those who suspended the oil supply to Cuba under Trump’s orders. This left says that Cuba’s fate should be tied to Petro, who ran to kneel beforegenocide Trump...
The left dresses these lackeys as anti-imperialist while leaving the CP traitors untouched. They have all already surrendered before Trump! Diaz Canel is following the same path. He is already negotiating with the US imperialist. His foreign minister declared they areasking the US and the Miami gusanos to please go and invest in Cuba, telling them the doors are open for them to do business and exploit the Cuban workers. The more imperialism puts more pressure, the more Diaz Canel calls for more capitalism.
Enough with deception! The fight against the blockade and imperialism will not succeed by the hand of the lackey governments. The only allies of the Cuban working class are their revolted siblings in Minnesota and Los Angeles together with the migrant workers.

Defeat the imperialist blockade andUS imperialism in Wall Street!
Expropriate the transnational hotel companies such as Meliá, Hilton as well as country clubs, nickel mining companies, and recover the land that has returned to private hands! Impound their bank accounts and all their properties!

Let’s recover the companies that the CP millionaires have stolen from the people and put all the resources for food, medicine for the people to eat, have houses, health, hospitals and be able to cover their needs!

Open the road for the revolted workers and rebel youth! For a new socialist revolution and make Cuba a stronghold of the struggle to expand it throughout the continent and within the imperialist beast!
Out with the imperialist military bases of Guantanamo and the whole Latin America!

Down with the pacts between the CP millionaires and imperialism!
Immediate freedom to the workers imprisoned for protesting against hunger and misery!

Out with the CP from every worker and fighting organization in Cuba and in the whole continent!
Open the road to direct democracy!

Election of committees formed by delegates by production sector, by company, by supply committees, by service committees at schools and hospitals and by poor peasants committees.

We need to set up grassroot committees of rank and file solders that move onto the side of the people with their weapons and disarm the lackey repressive forces of the new Castrist capitalists! Open the road for the workers and peasants alliance! We need to set up armed councils of workers, soldiers and peasants!

Break with the bourgeoisie gangs of the pro US left!

Stand with the million workers taking to the streets at the heart of the imperialist beast in the US against the genocide in Gaza, against the massacre in Iran... 3000 cities march against “King Trump” to the war cry ‘No kings!’ No ICE! No wars!… In those demonstrations and in the combat of the Latin American masses lay the forces to smash the imperialist blockade and free Cuba from the ones that sold it out from within.

Before it is too late.
For a continental workers and peasant fight against imperialism and its lackey governments!

The way forward is to organize a new socialist revolution in Cuba that will only win as a link of the masses combat in Latin America, USA and internationally, expelling imperialism and defeating it in Wall Street.
