Cuba è da sempre in lotta....l'occupazione spagnola ha generato la figura eroica di jose' marti....quella americana del "CHE" e di fidel castro....gli usa prima hanno occupato e sfruttato la isla grande, poi dopo essere stati cacciati dal popolo cubano, hanno osteggiato in vario modo(embargo, svariati tentativi di uccidere castro, complotti ecc.ecc.) la politica di fidel.....
i russi cercarono di metter le mani sulla rivoluzione.
Si scontravano due imperialismi illo tempore, non dimentichiamocelo
Ad ogni modo durante la crisi dei missili -arcinota- i russi tentarono di riprendere il controllo dei missili, e si arrivò ai ferri corti.
Per quanto riguarda castro e le sue posizioni:
Richard E. Welch,
Response to Revolution: The United States and the Cuban Revolution, 1959-1961,
Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1985. An excerpt (pp. 10-14):
[A] widely held myth holds that Fidel Castro was a communist from the beginning
of his career as a Cuban revolutionary. . . . Here is a myth that is not an
exaggeration but a lie. Castro at twenty-one was a left-leaning student who disliked
authority and had feelings of guilt and suspicion toward his own class, the Cuban
bourgeoisie. He was a revolutionary in search of a revolution, but he was not a
communist. By temperament a caudillo [military leader], and by the definitions of U.S.
political history never a democrat, Castro only became a Marxist sometime between
fall 1960 and fall 1961. Castro himself is partially responsible for the myths
surrounding his conversion to Marxist ideology. During a long speech on 2
December 1961 he declared himself a Marxist-Leninist and in parts of that rambling
oration seemed to imply that he had long been sympathetic to socialist doctrine.
These portions were inaccurately translated in early press reports and subsequently
taken out of context by his enemies in the United States. . . . Actually the chief theme
of this confused and self-exculpatory address was that although he had always been
a socialist intuitively, he was initially in thralldom to bourgeois values. Only by hard
study and several stages had he come to a full appreciation of the superior wisdom of
Marx and Lenin. . . .
Castro's initial program called for representative democracy as well as social
reform and made no demands for the nationalization of land and industry. . . . The
Cuban Revolution evolved from a variant of democratic reformism to a variant of
communism, and its radicalization is best understood when its early years are
divided into three separate periods. These periods cannot be given specific dates,
but a logical three-part chronological division identifies as phase one, January-
October 1959; phase two, November 1959-December 1960; and phase three, 1961
and spring 1962. Historians differ over the labels to be given these three phases.
For the historian who sees Castro's adoption of communism as the main theme of the
Cuban Revolution, phase one might be labeled "from anticommunism to anti-anticommunism"; phase two, "from anti-anticommunism to pro-communism"; and
phase three, "from pro-communism to communist."
William Appleman Williams, The United States, Cuba, and Castro: An
Essay on the Dynamics of Revolution and the Dissolution of Empire, New York: Monthly
Review, 1962, p. 112 ("Castro moved . . . to attack the Communist challenge to his
leadership. He did so very bluntly and angrily on May 8 and 16 [1959], dissociating
himself from the Communist Party and its ideas and programs. He subsequently acted
in June to block Communist influence in the labor movement")
Wayne S. Smith, The
Closest of Enemies: A Personal and Diplomatic Account of U.S.-Cuban Relations Since
1957, New York: Norton, 1987, p. 44 ("C.I.A. Deputy Director C.P. Cabell confirmed
during testimony before a Senate subcommittee in November 1959 . . . 'Castro,' he said,
'is not a Communist . . . the Cuban Communists do not consider him a Communist party
member or even a pro-Communist'");
Warren Hinckle and William W. Turner, The Fish Is
Red: The Story of the Secret War Against Castro, New York: Harper and Row, 1981, p.
33 (the C.I.A.'s Latin America political action officer, Frank Bender, concluded: "Castro is
not only not a Communist . . . he is a strong anti-Communist fighter").
