Speech delivered by Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, at the closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, at the Convention Center, on May 2, 2026, "Year of the Centennial of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz."

Cuba: May Day Speech Delivered at the Closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity! (3.5.2026)

When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?

I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.

When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:

One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.

China: It Takes Time to Repair the US Lies About Tibet! (3.5.2026)

Mind you, he once chaired a meeting a Ruskin House in Croydon asking the bizarre question as to whether the USSR was “right” to fight the Nazi Germans during WWII – with the Trotskyite bias that it was not! And on and on it goes. Of course, it is the young who are vulnerable to this type of dishonesty on the left – as it drives them to the right. Not only that, but the current left is riddled with White dominance and perpetuates just as much racism as the right – whilst denying it is doing so. The corrupt left likes to pretend that whilst the White middle-class dominate it – the racism it displays does not exist. All lies of the highest calibre. Again, if you read Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho, and Che, etc, none of this is new and we must all battle every generation to make genuine Marxist-Leninism available for each new generation. The Morning Star eulogises the mirky world of professional boxing when everyone knows it is a thoroughly exploitative vehicle for the rich to pay the poor to beat each other up for the entertainment of the latter. The CPB continuously demands that its members support the bourgeois Labour Party – which proscribed the Communist Party in 1921. Trotsky would not only turn in his grave – but build a three-storey extension to celebrate this ridiculous revisionnism!

Imperial Japanese Ranks - Fascist Symbols

China: Japan Moves to Reinstate Fascist WWII Military Ranks Used to Commit War Crimes! (30.4.2026)

Lin said that many in Japan believe that by adopting a non-military-style rank system, Japan intended to make a clear cut with the wartime military in line with the spirit of the pacifist Constitution.

“It shows that the rank titles are absolutely not just a technical issue for Japan,” Lin stressed.

He said in recent years, however, Japan has been pushing for a more offensive, expansionist, and dangerous defense policy and has torn up its “pacifist” rulebook.

“We cannot but ask: Is Japan still indulged in a dream of reviving militarism? What exactly is this ‘sense of honor’ built on?” Lin asked.

The rise of neo-militarism in Japan is posing a real threat to world peace and stability, Lin said, adding that the Chinese people, together with anyone in the world who stand for justice, should stay on high alert and firmly safeguard the outcome of the WWII victory so that the tragedies of history will not repeat themselves.

Western Anti-China Racism Comes With Graphics Today!

China: Why “China Shock 2.0” Narrative is a Distortion of China’s Growth! (26.4.2026)

Things will not racially improve if China just pretends (or even actually becomes) “capitalist”. As I write, I know Chinese students are being illegally taken into custody and forcibly questioned by the US authorities regarding their association with the Communist Party. China complains here and there about this – but does very little on the practical level as trade is considered more important – and that boat must not be rocked under any circumstance. Karl Marx wrote some very good articles for the US newspapers regarding China and its socio-economic development in the face of a ruthless imperialist domination. All genuine progressives must retain a lucidity and fluidity of thought in all circumstance (exactly what Mao Zedong did – as he literally “thought” outside his own ethno-centric predicament) – as this is the dialectical way. We must not become trapped in the rather childish Judeo-Christian cul-de-sac of a “good vs bad” dichotomy. Just because someone – or some entity – does not like you observing, discussing, or thinking about a certain aspect (or set of aspects) – this should not necessarily mean that you should abide by this imposed limitation of thought. Some Chinese commentators accuse Westerners of “China watching” (when things are discussed

Soviet and British Troops Liberate Iran of Pro-Nazi Militant Islam - 1941

Email: How Iranian Press TV Supports Neo-Nazism! (25.4.2026)

Remember, this is a channel associated with the ex-UK Labour MPs George Galloway and Chris Williamson, as well as sacked UK academic David Miller. Although there are numerous examples of anti-Socialist pseudo-historians and anti-Semites writing on the Press TV channels – I have extracted a typical exchange between a German and what might be a Romanian – with the Muslim audience remaining supportively “quiet” and-or “liking” the hateful and ridiculous comments. I think it is important to oppose Israeli Zionism and the genocide it is committing – whilst at the same time holding Muslims accountable for normalising Neo-Nazism and Neo-Fascism on the platforms they control. We must also protect the pre-Khrushchev era of the Soviet Union – remembering how great Lenin and Stalin were – and how the Red Army defeated World Fascism.

Support Cuba!

Cuba Confirms Recent Meeting with US Delegation! (23.4.2026)

He said the talks have been handled “with discretion,” as they are considered by the Cuban government to be “a sensitive matter.”

Garcia stressed neither side set deadlines or made any coercive demands, and all exchanges took place respectfully and professionally.

“The removal of the energy blockade against the country was a top priority” for the Cuban representatives, he said, referring to sanctions announced by Washington against countries that sell fuel to Cuba.

“This act of economic coercion is an unjustified punishment against the entire Cuban population. It is also a form of global blackmail against sovereign states, which have every right to export fuel to Cuba under the rules governing free trade,” Garcia emphasized.
