Down with cuban revisionism

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

"The global financial crisis intensified the need for reform in Cuba, transmittingits impact through the island's sensitivity to foreign credit, export earnings,remittances, and tourism. The evaporation of hard currency, coupled with spikesin food and oil prices in 2008 and 2011, provoked Cuba to deepen reforms firstimplemented during the post-Soviet crisis of the mid 1990s. (...) China has becomethe island's (...) trading partner (...), with annual bilateral trade reaching $1.83billion in 2010 (up from just $314 million in 2000)."(http://theconversation.edu.au/with-its-eyes-on-chinas-growth-model-cuba-begins-itsslow-march-towards-capitalism-6244, With its eyes on China's growth model, Cubabegins its slow march towards capitalism, April 2012, edition in English) 

So, as can be observed, not even Western bourgeois ideologues are misled aboutCastroist insistence about using fake "socialist" masks. Of course that contrary to whatthe title "With its eyes on China's growth model, Cuba begins its slow marchtowards capitalism" insinuates, Castroist Cuba never followed another path besides thatof capitalism (the title is a result of the attempts of Western capitalist-imperialistideologues to present state capitalism as being "socialism" or even "communism" withthe goal of deviating world workers from genuine socialism: on one side, by inculcatingin the workers of state capitalist countries the false idea that they are living in a"socialist society", they make those workers give up the struggle for true socialismbecause allegedly it has already been accomplished; and on the other side, by presentingstate capitalist tyrannies as being examples of "socialism" and even "communism", theydiscredit authentic socialism and communism in front of world workers and proletariansthus keeping them away from MLSH and maintaining capitalist-imperialist-revisionistorder alive. As can be concluded, these two purposes are closely linked between themand complement each other). 

Under Chinese imperialist control, Castroist bourgeoisie is confirming its role as atypical pro-imperialist compradore exploitative class and is increasingly opening itsdoors to Chinese imperialist penetration. Some claim that it is Raul Castro (Fidel'sbrother that assumed presidency of revisionist Cuba by mid 2000's, when Fidel gotsick) that is promoting this path, and that he is some kind of Cuban Deng Xiaoping.There are certain Castroists who insist in presenting Fidel's times as being an epoch of"genuine socialism" in opposition to Raul's times which would be "revisionist". Thisreasoning is equivalent to that of "orthodox" Maoists who also claim that fascist DengXiaoping allegedly "betrayed Mao's truly socialist path". But this is not true. There isno substantial difference between Fidel and Raul Castro just like there is no substantialdifference between Mao and Deng Xiaoping. Deng Xiaoping only continued Maoimperialist bourgeois-capitalist-revisionist course, just like Raul Castro only continuedFidel's pro-imperialist bourgeois-capitalist-revisionist course. And as we have beenobserving throughout this article, anti-socialist and pro-capitalist-imperialist policieshave been always followed by Cuban social-fascists and Cuba's transformation into apro-Chinese bourgeois-compradore country started when Fidel Castro still personallyheaded Cuban government. Indeed, the policies of Raul Castro only serve to confirm theopenly capitalist path which had been initiated many years ago with Fidel. In recenttimes, Cuban social-fascist bourgeoisie has persisted in its path of implementing classiccapitalism. In his official speeches, Raul Castro explicitly talks about "reducing the roleof the state in the economy and encourage private enterprise" and it was determined thatthe salaries of the members of Castroist bourgeoisie that rule capitalist "stateenterprises" will be increased without any limits. At the same time, accordingly with newspapers "Havana Journal" and "MSNBC", Castroist bourgeoisie is now totally freeto stay in sumptuous hotels and to have cell phones and all kinds and varieties of luxuryproducts built, fabricated and sold by foreign imperialist multinationals, for instance.Moreover, it can also own explicit private property without restrictions (until now, ithad always instead in using state capitalist masks to hide that private property and itsaccumulation were never abolished in Cuba). Contrary to what happened in the past,when it still tried to maintain a certain "revolutionary", "red" and even "socialist"appearance, Cuban social-fascists have now openly embraced the most wicked forms ofbourgeois-capitalist degenerated way of life. Furthermore, Castroists are putting Cubanworkers at total disposal of the imperialist companies that have now free reign over theisland in order to facilitate and intensify the exploitation of Cuban labourers. Accordingto the site http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20111226/wl_nm/us_cuba_reform, Cubanrevisionists determined that until 2016, over 40% of the country's workforce must be inthe "non-state" sector (and this percentage is wanted by them to increase even infinitelymore after that year). These workers are described by Castroists as being "smallbusinessman working for themselves", but the truth is that they invariably fall into theenslaving claws of capitalist-imperialist bourgeois corporations. This is also an obvioussign of a clear Castroist ideology to gradually eliminate state capitalist sector and toreplace it by a classic capitalist sector.
