The cuban exceptionalism
Liaison Committee for the Fourth International - LCFI
The Cuban revolution marked a turn in the history of the
twentieth century in Latin America. In addition to defeating a pro-US
dictatorship in Uncle Sam’s backyard, for the first time in the Western
Hemisphere capitalism was expropriated.
This allowed a small island with less
than a dozen million people to escape the fate of an agricultural colony
subservient to the US to proudly show to its population and the world its
unprecedented achievements like the elimination of hunger and poverty, an
educational system. Its excellent health and medical advances are exported to
the rest of oppressed humanity.
