Recent U.S. Attempts to Destabilize Cuba Fail Once Again
All Out to Support Revolutionary Cuba!
Cuba responds with Mass Rally in Defence of the Revolution,
Havana, July 17, 2021, during a previous attempt to overthrow
the Revolution.
The Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) salutes the
heroic Cuban people and their government who have once again
foiled attempts of the U.S.and its counterrevolutionary agents
to cause an uprising of the people against the Revolution. Their
demands for the stable delivery of electricity and food raise
problems the government is doing its utmost to resolve despite
the brutal U.S. blockade and sanctions. It is not the Cuban
Revolution which causes these problems for the people, but the
U.S. blockade which all the countries of the world which are
members of the United Nations with the exception of the U.S.,
Israel and one of two U.S. protectorates have demanded be ended.
These protests were incited by counterrevolutionary U.S.
agencies with no intention of providing them with solutions.
Most noteworthy is the immediate attention given by officials
from the provincial and local governments and from the Communist
Party to the protestors, going right into their midst, listening
to their concerns and explaining what the government is doing
about them, appealing for them to participate in providing these
problems with the solutions available to them. Calm prevailed.
Order prevailed. This testifies to the strength of the Cuban
people and their government.
Nowhere in the United States or Canada do authorities come
amongst protesting people to explain their policies because they
know they cannot defend them. Nonetheless, no sooner were signs
of the protests the U.S. had instigated seen, than the U.S.
Embassy in Cuba and U.S. media started raising concerns about
democracy and human rights in Cuba, while the
counterrevolutionary groups in Miami started dancing
joyfully.
The aim of inciting such protests is to destroy the unity of the
people. In its dreams the U.S. thinks it can create conditions
which will legitimate their takeover of Cuba. Their problem is
that the Cuban state belongs to the people of Cuba not to the
United States. Cuba belongs to the people. This is a claim that
in its own country, the U.S. cannot make for itself.
Attempts to overthrow the revolution
in Cuba fail time and time again because the struggle of the
Cuban people to prevail over all the difficulties they
experience as a result of the brutal all-sided blockade imposed
on them by the U.S. imperialists belongs to the entire people
who know Cuba belongs to all of them. Their problems are her
problems and her problems are their problems. Who can say that
the U.S. government or the governments of other countries which
are instigating counterrevolution in Cuba belong to them? No
one.
Only the most inhumane regime imposes conditions which threaten to make life impossible for Cuba's more than 11 million people in the hopes they will overthrow their revolutionary government. This is the same thing the U.S. is doing by aiding Israel in its genocidal campaign in the occupied Palestinian territories. The U.S. state shares the hopes of the Israeli Zionists for a "Greater Israel." As in Israel, so too in Cuba, the enemies of freedom, democracy and human rights commit brutal crimes in the name of freedom, democracy and human rights. It will not pass!
We take this occasion to pledge to step up our efforts to ending the criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade that the Government of the U.S. has imposed on the Cuban people. We also profoundly appreciate and thank the Communist Party of Cuba and Government of Cuba for their steadfast solidarity with the fighting peoples of the world. The work to build and strengthen the unity of the progressive forces all over the world is crucial in order to confront the current offensive of imperialism and the neo-liberal policies against the legitimate rights of the peoples. This work belongs to us all.
No to the Brutal Sanctions and Blockade!
No to the U.S. Imperialist Travesty About Human Rights, Freedom
and Democracy!
Return Guantanamo!
Long Live Revolutionary Cuba!
