Argentina - November 16th, 2021

García Hernández, leader of the Cuban CP, congratulates warmly the election results of FIT-U while advancing in the capitalist restoration in the island, with hunger and repression on the people

The electoral performance of FIT-U is celebrated as a “historical victory” not only in Argentine soil. A message in the same terms, with warm congratulations, came from Cuba, from the well-known CCP youth leader Frank Garcia Hernandez who does not want to hide his joy for what he calls the “red Argentina” due to the election results of the Left Front. Among praises and comradely words, Frank Garcia Hernandez speaks about FIT in terms of “how far a Marxist organization can reach if it makes a good political work”. Before this, this same guy had already sent the corresponding “revolutionary greeting” to the end of campaign rally of the official Workers Party (PO).

This close relationship between this “critical wing of the CCP” and the FIT-U parties is not new. Frank Garcia Hernandez, besides being a stringer in the Bolivarian network TeleSur, is a stringer of La Izquierda Diario (“The Left Newspaper”, paper of the PTS), where he has published tens of notes already.

This relationship was born in La Havana in 2019, when they founded a true Unique Party, under the leadership of Frank Garcia Hernandez himself, in meetings organized by the very same Castroite government, which lent several former Trotskyists (EEK of Greece, DIP of Turkey, PTS of Argentina, among others) a small classroom so they could talk about Trotsky but taking well care that no Cuban worker was entering there. The same Stalinists that received Mercader, the murderer of Trotsky, with honors, were now praising the figure of the leader of the Fourth International by the hand of the former Trotskyists.

Last July, hundreds of Cuban workers took to the streets, pushed by the misery imposed by the Diaz Canel restoration government. When that happened, Garcia Hernandez (as he himself confessed) went down to the streets not alongside the starving people but together with the armed gangs of the CCP to smash the desperate masses. Frank Garcia Hernandez yelled and cried it had been for a mistake that the uniformed police took him to jail (where he was only there for a tour), while in a few seconds all the renegades of Trotskyism deployed a huge solidarity campaign “for his freedom”, presenting him as a hero in the exact moment when they were kicking-off the “Leon Trotsky Seminar” for third day in a row. This seminar consisted in true international conferences of this new spawn of unique party of the New Left, in which they all agreed, beyond this or that difference, in the “unconditional defence of the Cuban government against the attacks carried out by imperialism”. Yes, this is how they branded the starving Cuban masses who were demanding for a piece of bread, at the beginning of each conference in a video filmed by one of the organizers of the event.
On last November 15, the “Archipielago” (“Archipelago”) platform called for a demonstration “against violence”, which, although it had no big repercussion in the island, it made the "gusanos" take to the streets in Miami. The more Diaz Canel and the CCP hand over Cuba to imperialism by unleashing the worst attacks on the masses with a 500% increase in the cost of living for the starving Cuban workers, the more they increase the crackdown on the workers that can’t stand misery anymore, and the more the "gusanos" appear in the scene. It is a true speed race between Castroism and the "gusanos" to offer themselves as the best tools to restore capitalism definitively in the island.
While this demonstration was underway, Frank Garcia Hernandez wrote his article greeting FIT-U, called “From the red Argentina to the white demonstration in Cuba”. In this article, the author emphatically affirms “the revolutionary role that the Argentine CP should’ve played has been replaced by Trotskyism”. It is clear. The case is that the Argentine Communist Party is in the Frente de Todos (Everyone’s Front, the current ruling coalition party, i.e.). Both governments of (Fernandez and) Kirchner and that of their brother and friend Diaz Canel, comrade to Frank Garcia Hernandez, are unleashing today the fiercest attack on the workers, on behalf of imperialism. Frank Hernandez thus says the empty place left by the CP is occupied by FIT-U. In the presence of a confession, no further proof is needed.
So much cynicism on the part of Castroism raising Trotsky’s portrait has an explanation. They need a “red” and “revolutionary” aura to cover up for the capitalist restoration they are carrying out in the island by means of the fiercest repression and starvation unleashed on the Cuban people, handing over the last workers state to world imperialism, raising the US flag in La Havana, and with the French and Spanish imperialisms controlling tourism and nickel in the island. They want to use the clean banners of the Fourth International, the banners of Trotskyism, to cover up for the fierce attack on the starving Cuban masses, which gave their lives for the revolution.
Today, with La Havana militarized, we understand that the red disguise of the “critical wing” of the CCP, the “comradely ways” with the former Trotskyists were just to cover up, from the left, and prepare and justify the deepening of the repression of the Castroite regime against the working class. At the same time when Frank Hernandez was preparing his messages to FIT, the Diaz Canel government was getting ready his dogs of prey, just in case the starving masses took that day, November 15, to come out to demand bread.

The Trotskyists won’t allow them to use the clean banners of Trotsky and our party, the Fourth International, to cover up the dirty deeds of Stalinism against the revolution and the world proletariat. While the New Left and their unique party was crowning the “socialist” Sanders of the US butchers’ Democratic Party as their leader, Bodart, leader of the MST, met with him and assured him he was going to build his international...and Sanders embraced Biden and took the American masses to the latter, when the American masses had had the Capitol trembling and forced Trump 14 floors underground.

The Trotskyists don’t receive and will never receive the encouraging message of Stalinism, which yesterday said “there is a friend in the White House” when Obama inaugurated and today, as Frank Hernandez did, they say “Cuba will be better with Biden”, because “Biden is not Trump”. Frank Hernandez, from his social media “Communists” promoted endorsements to an “open letter” to “dear Mr, President Joe Biden” (signed by Raphael Correa, Jeremy Corbyn and Varoufakis, among tens of “leftist” organizations and leaders such as PSOL of Brazil) asking him to “reject the cruel policies of Trump and let Cuba live in peace”. This way, with a petition, begging Biden to end the embargo on Cuba, they made the masses of Cuba, USA and the entire continent believe that this new representative of Wall Street butchers could be their ally.
Today, Argentina, Cuba and the whole Latin America are red because of the workers blood, as they are sunk in starvation, misery and repression because the US imperialism, with Biden wielding the whip, has come back to recolonize the entire continent and subjugate it with double and triple chains.

Nevertheless, the working class in Cuba, Argentina, Latin America and USA has not said its final word yet. Neither have the Trotskyists.

Latin America will be socialist or a Wall Street colony… Open the road for the socialist revolution!
