In regards to a brutal attack on freedom of expression, the youth, culture and art launched by the new bourgeoisie of Havana, born from the heart of Stalinism and today turned into an imperialist agent of capitalist restoration
In Cuba, Castroism has begun to imprison musicians and artists; to persecute a rebellious youth who anticipate that the proletariat will fight against the biggest increase in the cost of living in the history of Cuba resulting from the unification of currencies, which is equivalent to a 250% devaluation, a sudden increase in food prices and galloping inflation that will destroy the consumption capacity of the masses.
We are facing a new bourgeoisie that has become rich, emerged from the Cuban Communist Party, which has carried out fabulous business in the nickel industry, tourism, fleeing foreign currency to the Bahamas in offshore accounts, joining ALBA, a capitalist market that allowed to do enormous business with the Bolivarian bourgeoisie, in effect destroying the state monopoly of foreign trade. From the heart of this new bourgeoisie a smuggling gang emerged, which made colossal fortunes with that regional market. Other sectors of the new Castro bourgeoisie sold health plans and medical equipment all over the continent, and in ALBA in particular, paying a miserable $ 80 to each doctor, while they pocketed $ 920 out of their fee. A new rapacious bourgeoisie, which dares to accuse millions of Cuban workers of being “lazy”.
Together with the Boliburguesía, they sent more than 300,000 million dollars to Miami. They built a tax free zone and state-of-the-art port complex in Puerto Mariel, taylored to US imperialism, which conquers a brand new port and cheap sweatshops just 300 miles from Miami.
This Stalinist scourge, turned into a new bourgeoisie, want to define who is and who is not the agent of imperialism and the US blockade. Scoundrels!
The Stalinist scourge, the new bourgeoisie, the Army generals suffer no blockade. They lie! The hardships of the blockade have been thrown to the masses, at the working class, and they have left workers as slaves with wages of 36 dollars, ready to be exploited by Cargill, by Coca Cola, by the new brothels into which the tourism business has transformed the island. They have left slave workers, deprived of the right to have unions to defend themselves from the attack of the new capitalists, imperialism and new millionaire bureaucrats.
You, the ones who sold out the heroic Cuban revolution, have no right to continue punishing and attacking the free artistic and political expression of the new generation emerging in Cuba. The more you repress and the more you attack the Cuban working class, the more you do lavish business while you live like kings and the people are starving… And the more you are destroying the socialist and anti-imperialist consciousness of the workers and poor peasants of Cuba. Not even the Miami "gusanos" would dare to restore capitalism in such a savage way as you do!
You were able to because before that you had signed a pact with Obama for the economic opening of Cuba and told the American workers that in the Party of imperialist Democrats they had an ally. But it was Obama who took all the gains from the American working class with the crash of 2008.
You made surrender the Colombian resistance and signed a "peace pact" while Uribe's murderous army was massacring the entire leadership of the FARC in Ecuador.
You, with the telltale of the "peaceful path to socialism" and your support for the swindle of the Bolivarian revolution, sold out a thousand times the fight of the masses of the continent.
It's You who are the agents of imperialism! It's You, because you are a new bourgeoisie based on private property and the right of inheritance that you imposed on the island, creating the material bases for the emergence of new direct agents of the Americans!
You, lackeys of imperialism, legalized the Catholic Church, the greatest partner of world imperialism, because you have fabulous business in tourism with the Vatican and the crown of the Bourbons!
The greatest crime of you as a new bourgeoisie, coming from the Stalinist scourge, is to advance in defeating the revolution in the Americas, with your cry that "socialism is no more feasible, not even in Cuba."
You have the audacity to attack, as lackeys of imperialism, young people who sing hip hop and rebel against this state of affairs.
You, with your repression, are throwing the artists into the hands of international organizations, some of them as closely linked to imperialist institutions as you are.
You do not give freedom of expression to artists and young people, because you know that they, who today fight for artistic freedom in the revolution, tomorrow will do so fighting for the revolution in art, and together with the working class, for a new socialist revolution.
Full democratic rights for the working class to set up their own unions that are independent from the state and any workers' parties that they decide to set up!
Full rights for the organization of the rank and file soldiers, to face the new rich commanders!
Years past, in 1959, the Cuban revolutionary youth took over the Havana Hilton Hotel as the headquarters of the Cuban revolution and the insurrectionary general strike carried out by the heroic workers and poor peasants in Havana and throughout Cuba. Today at the same Hilton, you meet with Cargill, Coca Cola, the Pope, the Morgan Bank, etc., and with the infamous murderous regime of the military bases in Colombia, where all of you signed "a peace plan" so that they massacre in that country all workers and peasants.
The only party that must be "outlawed" in Cuba, expelled from the island as a abunch of lackeys of imperialism and thieves of the nation, is the party of the "red soldiers", new servile followers and partners of the Americans. It will be the insurrectionary masses, this time with their councils of workers and rank and file soldiers with direct democracy, who will have to recover the Cuban revolution, expropriate the capitalists, close their brothels and expropriate their luxury neighborhoods and countries looker at with envy by all the Miami billonaires "gusanos".
Either Cuba will be socialist or it will be like Haiti, and a new U.S. colony 300 miles from the United States, with slave workers, free zones...
Enough of repressing any artistic and cultural expression on the island!
Down with the scam of the Bolivarian revolution!
Out with the new rich from the island!
Open the road to the socialist revolution throughout Latin America and in the US!
For a revolutionary worker and peasant Cuba, allied to the revolutionary uprising of the black workers and the rebellious US workers! There are the forces to break the blockade: In the fighting in Minneapolis, Portland, Washington ...
From the hands of the miserable Boliburguesías, partners of imperialism, there will only come hunger and more slavery for the Cuban workers.
The masses of the Americas are not going to allow such surrender to their revolution. Several generations have already died for it. So much betrayal will not go unpunished. A new socialist revolution will save the island and again raise the cry that "Without new Cuban revolutions throughout the world, there will be no solution to the sufferings of the masses."
We Trotskyists fight to set up a regime of armed workers and peasants, without treacherous bureaucrats, with full rights for the exploited masses to decide which parties would have legality and full rights to fight for their ideas and which would not. This regime will respect, against the most sinister betrayal of Stalinism, the unrestricted right to art and culture as artists decide to build and create.
Hands off the art and the culture of the people!
We affirm that the reactionary utopia of building socialism in a single country, and even on an island, is a reactionary policy, which paved the way for capitalist restoration in all the former workers' states since the year 1989.
The definitive restoration of capitalism in Cuba is a new 1989's counterrevolutionary blow in the American continent, a new stab in the back to the masses of the Americas and of Cuba in particular.
We will fight to conquer and recover a mass Trotskyist party in Cuba, which will be the bulwark of the recovery of the revolutionary worker and peasant dictatorship in Cuba.
Out with the new bourgeoisie!
Out with the bureaucrats, their medals and decorations and their millionaire salaries!
Expropriation of all the transnational tourism, nickel, oil, food, without compensation, to recover the land, following the path of expropriation of the capitalists in 1959 and the '60s!
Enough of ALBA, where only the Cuban bourgeoisie does fabulous business!
The fight is for the socialist revolution and the Socialist United States of Central and Latin America.
