Cuba Helps Jamaica!

Cuba: How – “Jorge” – Helped the Health & Well-Being of Jamaican Inhabitants! (8.4.2026)

I think this is typical of the hypocritical attitude of theistic religion, which is entirely selfish and self-serving. Bear in mind that Iraq was a secular Socialist State when it fought an 8-year war with Islamicist Iran (1980-1988). Politicised religion always acts this way. Whilst Neo-Nazi Ukraine is supported by the Catholic Church – Russia’s effort is backed by the Orthodox Church (I once encountered an Orthodox Priest at the Soviet War Memorial in London a few years ago – and had the feeling that I had experienced “pure evil”). This induced derision is exactly what politicised religion specialises in manufacturing. Trump is killing Cuba and Iran has been quite happy to falsely associate its Islamacist militancy with Cuba’s struggle when under attack by the West – but when Iran achieves the political upper-hand – Cuba’s (secukar Socialist) struggle is thrown in the bin. This is because theistic belief systems view secular Socialism as an attack on the literal accepting of religious teachings. Mark my words and learn from this. Israeli violence is entirely derived from its politicised religious beliefs – as the Israeli State also detests secular Socialism and acively works against it. Indeed, this would be an area of agreement between Iram, the US, and Israel. In another incarnation, Iran could be yet another Saudi Arabia!

Fidel Castro - the Father of the Cuban Nation!

A Touching Email from Cuba – Although My Socialist Friends Are “Suffering” Due to US-Imperialsim – Here is Their Collective Response! (13.3.2026)

Each day – the sayings are changed – but are always “Socialist” (Marxist-Leninist), progressive and psychologically inspiring. It is Marxist-Leninism that we use to build our inner strength (that enables our ability to continue to suffer without giving-up) – so that we may use our advanced (proletariat) intellects to seek-out ever-more clever ways of physically working around the (illegal) US Blockade – and the related injustices emerging from the UK, and the EU. Who knows where all this will end?

My Revolutionary Clobber!

Cuba: My Study of Che Guevara’s Work! (27.2.2026)

Oddly, Audible, despite hosting some fairly right-wing and far-right tomes – to its credit – it also hosts Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Che Guevara (amongst others). Yes – some are bourgeois aberrations – but others are straight from the original ideological source material and convey clear Socialist and Communist thinking. So far – so good. Recently, whilst carrying-out my academic work of translating ancient Chinese texts into English – I play audio-books in the background – so I can continue to “learn” whilst working. This is how, over the last three-months, I made an effort to study the Cuban Revolutionary experience. This came about after I had a conversation (a few years ago) with a Spanish man now living in Sutton – who surprised me when he said he had no interest in China or the USSR – but rather the Central and South American experience. This got me thinking – as I used to generally integrate all these movements – assuming they were different aspects of the 1917 Russian Revolution (which of course they are). The point is that different ethno-centric experiences abound – even if we are political allies all heading in the same ideological direction.

This unusual, unprecedented, and absolutely unjustifiable act met with an unwavering response from the great nationalist leader, General Cipriano Castro.

Venezuela: The People Remember “December 9th 1902” – and the Popular Resistance Led By “General Cipriano Castro”! (10.12.2025)

The #9Dic of 1902 is a date etched into our national dignity! In an unprecedented act of aggression, the British Empire, the German Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy launched a naval blockade against our coasts, deploying their warships. This unusual, unprecedented, and absolutely unjustifiable act met with an unwavering response from the great nationalist leader, General Cipriano Castro.

CSA Flyer Calling for Naval Volunteers!

CSA: Confederate Navy – Black & Foreign Workers! (15.10.2025)

The CSA Navy was primarily tasked with defending the waterways leading from the coastal areas (and the open sea) into the Southern hinterland from attack by the Union. The secondary mission was to venture out into the coastal areas and the open sea to attack any approaching Union ship. The problem with this latter requirement is that once CSA ships were drawn away from the protection of CSA estuary and coastal batteries – the Confederate ships were often sitting ducks. This being the case, and given that stocks of new iron were low, the secondary objective was only rarely exercised. Of course, Confederate submarines did do some surprising damage to Union shipping – but this technology was still new, quite often unreliable, and usually deadly to its own crew. Despite being side-lined in favour of the CSA Army – the CSA Navy (and those who administered it) did an extraordinarily good job against incredible odds. African-Americans, both free and still in slavery, assisted the CSA in its naval requirements.

Reds Under the Beds!

Cuba: Soviet “Operation Anadyr” [1962] – and Red Army Casualties! (25.2.2025)

On a more practical level, the 50,000 Soviet military and civilian personnel that were sent to Cuba, when preparing for the deployment, where issued with fur-hats, balaclavas, and skies, etc, together with arctic equipment – to fool the US Intelligence community. Instead of traversing to the cold north-east – the Soviet Red Army was in fact deploying to the tropical south-east. Following the 1956 betrayal of Joseph Stalin by Nikita Khrushchev (playing to the Western and Trotskyite hatred of genuine Marxist-Leninism) – the authentic Socialist processes and institutions of the USSR were robust and possessed strength in-depth. The destruction of the 1917 October Revolution in the USSR would take just 36-years to achieve (1956-1991). In the 1960s it was the USSR that aided Cuba and not Socialist China (Mao Zedong had condemned Khrushchev and upheld the good reputation of Joseph Stalin) – a stance which led to the Sino-Soviet Split (1956-1991). Cuba could have requested help from China – but chose not to at the time. A position condemned by numerous Maoist groups – such as the Workers’ Institute in the UK.
