Brief Synopsis:
The time to speak the truth has come.... The government of the United States
cannot be on the side of peasants because it is an ally of the landowners.
It cannot be on the side of workers anywhere in the world because it is an
ally of the monopolies. It cannot be on the side of colonies because it is
an ally of the colonizing powers. Fidel Castro 1960
Long Synopsis:
In historic speeches before the United Nations and UN bodies, Guevara and
Castro address the peoples of the world, explaining why the U. S. government
so fears the example set by the socialist revolution in Cuba and why
Washington's effort to destroy it will fail. The time to speak the truth has
come.... The government of the United States cannot be on the side of
peasants because it is an ally of the landowners. It cannot be on the side
of workers anywhere in the world because it is an ally of the monopolies. It
cannot be on the side of colonies because it is an ally of the colonizing
powers. Fidel Castro 1960 Cuba is one of the trenches of freedom in the
world. We are situated only a few steps away from the U. S. imperialism, but
we have shown by our actions, by our daily example, that in the present
conditions of humanity the people can liberate themselves and keep
themselves free. Ernesto Che Guevara 1964 In January 1959 a revolutionary
government came to power in Cuba, in the more than a half century of U. S.
domination of the island. Since then the government of the United States has
sustained not only a "cold war" punctuated by invasion, sabotage, and
assassination attempts, but also a draconian economic embargo against its
Caribbean neighbor. Why this implacable hostility? Why this unremitting
economic pressure that has no parallel in modern times? The reason for this
policy -- and why it will fail -- are nowhere explained to the peoples of
the world more clearly than in these speeches delivered over a span of
twenty years before the forum of the United Nations by the most
authoritative representatives of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro and
Ernesto Che Guevara.
