End the Blockade and Murderous Sanctions against Cuba!

Stop U.S. Funding for Counter Revolutionaries

The Cuban Revolution Will Prevail

For 60 years, the U.S. has tried to crush the Cuban revolution in order to reclaim Cuba as a colony. Cuba has withstood U.S. invasions and blockade to do all in its power to end the racism that prevailed under U.S. domination, ensure equality for Black Cubans and LGBTQ Cubans, and provide free healthcare, education, and housing. The heroic Cuban people have defended their sovereignty and their right to a life of common dignity, defying U.S. military and economic assaults, attempted assassinations, economic sabotage, and right-wing terrorist attacks.

Today, the Cuban government called the people to the streets in defense of the revolution, and hundreds of thousands have responded.

We in the U.S. Need to Stand with Cuba

No country, including the U.S., can thrive isolated from trade, unable to purchase what is needed for its people. Cuba, an island only 90 miles in length, has summoned the revolutionary determination of the masses to not only maintain their independence but to put the welfare of the people above the wealth of a few. Despite having its access to fuel, spare parts, medicines, and other essential items blocked by the U.S., Cuba has managed to develop 5 COVID vaccines and send its medical brigades to assist dozens of countries around the world. By putting people’s health over private profit, it has kept COVID deaths to 1/14th the rate of the U.S.

Biden and his mercenaries in the Cuban right wing are exploiting the hardships that U.S. sanctions have produced. Biden hasn’t repealed any of Trump’s 243 brutal sanctions, which were imposed in order to starve the Cuban people to the point of begging the U.S. for mercy.

The U.S. wants total capitalist control of the island, which means destroying every social program won by the Cuban revolution. If the U.S. were to succeed in recolonizing Cuba, every last program for Cuba’s workers, children, and seniors would be wiped out. The Cuban international medical brigades would be dismantled, and apartheid against Black Cubans would be reinstated as it existed before the revolution.

Stand with Cuba, demand an immediate end to the blockade, sanctions, and U.S. funding of right-wing mercenaries in Cuba, Haiti, and Colombia.

Change of Presidents Carried Out to Intensify Repression Against The People

A professional hit team made up of Colombian military personnel assassinated Haitian president Jovenel Moïse on July 8. The U.S. armed and trained Columbian military mainly takes its orders from Washington. This was the aim of Biden and Clinton’s “Plan Colombia” which was put into effect in 2000. For decades the Colombian military and paramilitaries have assassinated hundreds of trade unionists and social organization leaders. 

In only the last few months, millions have taken part in country-wide rebellions against the murderous regimes of Duque in Colombia and Moïse in Haiti.  Like Colombia’s military, the Haitian National Police have been responsible for murders of protestors and assassinations of social leaders.

The U.S. government, through both Republican and Democratic administrations, has never hesitated to carry out or attempt assassinations of revolutionary leaders, especially in Africa. They have also assassinated once friendly heads of state as soon as they moved to break free of U.S. imperialist economic domination. And as with the case of Diem of then South Vietnam or Park of South Korea, they’ve assassinated outright puppets once they’ve deemed them ineffective for their ends.

Biden’s. C.I.A. Director Burns Visits to Crush Uprising of the People

The assassins of Moïse, reportedly wearing U.S. Drug Enforcement jackets and possessing inside information on the compound, are likely instructed by the U.S. CIA. Biden’s Director of the CIA, William Burns visited Haiti and Columbia just weeks ago to coordinate increased repression in Colombia and Haiti, and to plan attacks on Venezuela.

What would compel the U.S. to act so decisively to intensify repression at this time—even to the point of assassinating their former puppet Moïse? A major step forward in the Haitian struggle had begun. A citizen’s armed militia had formed to unite dozens of neighborhoods to resist the Haitian National Police and effectively turn the activity of desperate youth towards the revolutionary struggle.

Representing the masses, these unified forces demanded an end to the Moïse regime who was attempting to change the constitution to keep himself in power. More importantly, they’re fighting to end the super-exploitation and poverty caused by U.S. government on behalf of corporations who have sucked the life blood of the Haitian people for their profits.  France and Canada are junior partners in this exploitation and death.

The Haitian Masses Fight for Self Determination

Since 2010, the Clintons and their Foundation have used the guise of earthquake relief to enact programs to open Haiti to even more brutal exploitation by U.S. corporations.  While profits for corporations like Nike have soared, the Haitian masses face increased poverty, lack of food, water, and employment.

Headed by the U.S., the compliant U.N. has declared the next Haitian president with not even a semblance of choice by the people.  This new puppet with a changed face has already asked for U.S. troops. These troops will be used to repress the people’s movement for self-determination, sovereignty, and a revolutionary solution to their misery.

The racist U.S. and French ruling classes have never forgiven Haiti for the heroic 1791 revolution which was carried out by the formerly enslaved ancestors of the Haitian people. This spirit of resistance will prevail again.  Here in the U.S. “progressives” need to end their love affair with Biden who is carrying out an aggressive, murderous militarization around the world to build up U.S. empire.  No modest reform will bring lasting benefit to the U.S. working class when the US. government drives the global masses into starvation and death. 

Workers Voice Socialist Movement Sends our Comradely Congratulations to the Chinese Communist Party on its 100th Anniversary.We in the belly of U.S. imperialism should aspire to live the lives of the Communist Party cadre and the struggling masses who have given so much to bring an end to starvation, illiteracy, and women’s enslavement in China.

The enormous strides for humanity achieved in China are due to state ownership, planning, and the socialist commitment of millions of people. Billionaire Elon Musk and others would have us believe that capitalism brought prosperity to China, as he tweeted today. But where on earth has capitalism ever brought independence, sovereignty, equality, and freedom from hunger and brutal poverty? Nowhere. It was the socialist measures above all that progressed Chinese society in the face of war threats and sanctions.

Workers and oppressed in the U.S. should spend time studying the bravery and heavy sacrifice of the CPC, Chinese workers and peasants. They prevailed against the most horrific British and Japanese colonial oppression. They endured massacres, jailing, beatings, starvation and the open U.S. threat of nuclear bombs such as those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They overcame the reactionary forces of Chiang Kai-shek who was supported by Chinese millionaire oppressors and the US. These same forces promote recolonization in Hong Kong today. Depicted as ‘pro-democracy’ activists by the capitalist owned media, their Trump flags and cries for the ‘good old days’ of British colonialism say otherwise.

Many forget the lies that the U.S. has used as pretexts for war and occupation and are now falling for lies about the Chinese, including the racist slanders of Trump and of Biden who both want to blame China for COVID. The facts are clear: China has led the way internally and globally to defeat COVID in a way the U.S. has failed to and never will.

Why is the Biden administration raising military spending to new heights, setting up bases in Asia and flooding the South China seas with warships and military exercises? Is it to promote “democracy” as they claim? The same “democracy” that the U.S. has brought to Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen? Or to the millions more struggling to free themselves from the death and starvation imposed on them by U.S. puppet regimes in Columbia, Haiti, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine? The U.S. wants to recolonize China, plain and simple. U.S. imperialists want claim to every last resource on the planet.

We must stand unconditionally against any military or economic or propaganda attacks on China. Today, the CPC declared that any aggressions launched against China will be met with a wall of steel 1.4 billion people strong, that they will never allow bullying, sanctimonious lies, or war threats to stand in the way of their quest for dignity and self-determination. We and the rest of the world’s people are safer when China stands as a fortress against U.S. imperialism, which aims to crush the world under the boots of a few billionaires.

We look forward to the time when China can remove capitalist foreign corporations and banks from their midst as they now pose more of a risk than a benefit to the development of Chinese society. We are confident that Socialism Will Prevail, and that Capitalism and Imperialist Lies Will Be Swept into the Dustbin of History. Long Live the Chinese People! Long Live the Chinese Communist Party.
