Down with cuban revisionism

5 - Development of Cuban social-fascism: since the early 90's until nowadays

As we had already explained in this article, Castroist Cuba continued to face Americanembargo even after social-imperialist Soviet Union disappeared due to the fact thatCastroist bourgeoisie always refused American imperialists' demands for recoveringtheir former exclusive control over Cuba, as this would involve an acute risk of beingquickly overthrown from power (we cannot forget that American imperialists keepsCuban pro-American bourgeoisie compradore of Miami waiting for the first opportunityto expel Castroists from power). Indeed, since 1990 that Cuban economy is beingaffected by lack of oil, lack of manufactured goods and from a systematic deficit in statecapitalist enterprises. And besides this, we still have to note that levels of inflation inCastroist Cuba are very high. In face of this, Cuban social-fascists had to find a way ofdealing with their disastrous situation. But given social-fascist Cuba's economic,political and ideological features that were already indicated, it would be impossible forCastroists to set themselves on an independent course based on Cuba's own forces, evenbecause Cuban revisionist economy was and is typically capitalist and neo-colonial.Therefore, already in the early 90's, Castroist bourgeoisie started searching for other capitalist-imperialist powers which could provide markets to Cuban raw materials andwhich could sell manufactured goods to the island. Firstly, Castroist Cuba relied onEuropean Union (a rival of American imperialism). In mid-90's, official numbersunderlined that most part of Cuban foreign trade was with EU. However, as timepassed, Castroist bourgeoisie soon faced the same dilemma that had impelled it tosubservience towards Soviet social-imperialism: it continued to be American imperialistbourgeois class's target, as American imperialists never quitted their dream of havingCuba under their absolute sway again. That is why Castroist Cuba made in recent timesan rapprochement towards Latin-American imperialist powers like Brazil and alsotowards other bourgeois nations like Venezuela (whose pro-capitalist clique also lovesto use "revolutionary" cloaks in order to hide the fact that it has sold the country toChinese imperialism) but foremost towards social-imperialist China. This makes sense,as China replaced Soviet Union as the world's social-imperialist superpower. Indeed,rapprochement with these new emergent imperialist powers allowed Castroists tomaintain their "socialist" masks, even because Chinese social-imperialists take greatadvantage of holding control over a country still using "red" cloaks, as this alsoprovides Chinese social-imperialism with a more "progressive" and "popular" disguisein front of the eyes of those world workers who still believe Castroist Cuba is a socialistcountry and that, consequently, if Chinese social-fascists are supporting it, that'sbecause China is also a socialist country. Of course, as we have already explained inother articles, despite its fake "socialist" disguises, Chinese imperialism has the sameobjective of any other: profit maximization through ruthless exploitation, oppressionand repression of world workers. 

So, Chinese social-imperialists are tightening their claws over Cuba in their quest forprofitable markets and for neo-colonial areas of influence and control with the openconnivance and support of Castroist bourgeoisie. Accordingly with official sources: 

"China and Cuba strengthened their economic and political ties on Sunday bysigning a dozen cooperation agreements that will provide strong financial supportto the Latin American country as it embarks on economic reforms. (...) Theagreements also cover cooperation in digital television and telecommunications,banking supervision and financing for projects, as well as an oil refinery expansionproject and a liquefied natural gas project. (...) Cuba is China's biggest tradepartner in the Caribbean region (...). Over the past decade, bilateral tradeincreased from $440 million in 2001 to $1.83 billion in 2010."(http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2011-06/07/content_12646298.htm, China Daily,China, Cuba sign host of cooperation deals, June 2011, edition in English) 

Of course, needless to say that Chinese social-fascist "help" to Cuba is dependent onCastroist enforcement of those "economic reforms" which are able to transform Cubaneconomy into an appendix of Chinese imperialism, just like Soviet revisionists haddone. Indeed, we had already pointed out the dominance of a vicious cycle in Cubaneconomy in which dependence on foreign imperialism only attracts more dependenceon foreign imperialism. And as Castroist Cuba had always a capitalist and proimperialist / pro-social-imperialist economy, it is subjected to the interests of the financebourgeoisie who always and invariably control phony "free markets" and whosegluttony for maximum profits causes crisis which reveal capitalisms unsolvablecontradictions:
