This confused me:


Under the fidelist-inspired title Sowing Ideas, Sowing Consciousness, the program against cultural decolonization is one of the fundamental milestones of the year that is ending. It was launched last January 28, coinciding with the 170th anniversary of Jose Martí’s birth. Representatives of our artistic and intellectual vanguard were involved in the elaboration of the theses and initial lines of action. In doing so, they responded to approaches, concerns, ideas and proposals debated over the last few years.


Do the Cubans not believe in decolonization, at least as it is known in the West, or do they think they have a better alternative?

It’s likely that this is a mistranslation as I’ve heard quite the opposite about Cuba vis a vis decolonization.

    Looks to me to be a typo, or translation error, anti decolonization, should be anti colonization or decolonization. From where I look the whole thing makes more sense like that, but its just the most pure speculation on my part1
