Cuba is the shining example of imperial resistance! The most powerful country in history used every dirty trick and still couldn’t crush the Cuban people. This is such an incredible achievement.
The tyranny of American imperialism must be ended.
The world should boycott American capital. Demand the orange pdffile rapist be arrested, and tax the billionaires out of existence.
The working people of the world could achieve this in a week if we were able to organise and hit capital in its profits with a boycott.
I’m sure you mean well but unfortunately a boycott is not going to stop imperialism and its certainly not how Cuba has survived until now. History is clear that passive acts do not change systems only through organized militant resistance can real change be affected, and a boycott is the most passive form of resistance.
I really like what you’re saying here, I’m very happy you made this point, I agree with you entirely 💪 well said and thanks for saying it, we need so much more of this thinking!
My thinking was that a boycott would’ve maybe been easier to organise, but it’s just kicking the can down the road isn’t it.
Only through organised militant resistance can anything be changed. You say it very well 🙌 may we spread these words far and wide, tyranny must be resisted!
Boycott sounds easier in principle, but in countries where the media are controlled by the capitalists, how do you maintain momentum once media decides to focus somewhere else? I’ll always remember the example in my homeland of Spain:
CocaCola threatened to close the factory of Casbega, a very big one in Spain, and the workers called for a boycott until CocaCola announces it won’t close it. For some reason they got press coverage, and there was a big enough boycott and backlash that they announced they would keep it open. People cheered, the whole thing fizzled out, and a year later or so they ended up closing it, this time quietly because media didn’t care. Most Spanish people to this day don’t know it ever even closed.
We need to organize in a militant manner so that our own organization doesn’t rely on anyone else but ourselves. And the way to do this (if you ask a Marxist-Leninist like myself) is through communist parties such as the Black Panthers, the Bolsheviks or the Communist Party of Cuba.
Mate thank you for sharing this, that’s a great example, I’ve seen other examples of the power media has in what is or isn’t being shown, but this one is especially poignant.
That’s a key point there about the movement not relying on any external power structures, well said and thanks for saying it 🙌
Thanks for sharing your insights hey. As another commented pointed out, a boycott is not enough. Change can only come with genuinely organised militant resistance. Would you agree with that?
And I agree, the liberalisation of the left is disgusting. At least the right are honest about their mania, meanwhile the liberals pretend to be so morally superior while capitulating constantly.
