After decades of failed attempts to overthrow the socialist
government of Cuba, the U.S. government has secretly concluded that
domestic counterrevolutionaries have proven to be totally ineffective. A
leaked diplomatic cable from the U.S. Interests Section in Havana
states: “We see very little evidence that the mainline dissident
organizations have much resonance among ordinary Cubans.”
For over 50 years, Washington has funded and organized invasions,
assassination attempts and terrorist attacks against Cuba with the
assistance of reactionary forces inside the country and abroad. Nothing
has been able to overthrow the revolutionary government.
Now, even Washington must admit that right-wing forces are “not
likely to supplant the Cuban government,” and that simply “seeking
resources” (i.e., U.S. taxpayer dollars) has become their “primary
concern.”
The Cuban revolution has been able to survive because of the heroic
efforts of the Cuban people. Using methods of socialist planning and
distribution, health care, education, housing, employment and a variety
of other essentials are guaranteed to everyone. The people of Cuba have
endured tremendous hardships to defend their revolution, and it has
become undeniably clear that they will not be fooled by domestic
counterrevolutionary groups.
