Cuba’s historic achievement
President Barack Obama’s visit to revolutionary Cuba has engendered countless news articles in the bourgeois media about how “backwards” Cuba is, pointing to old automobiles, limited Internet access, old building stock and other aspects of Cuban society. What they willfully ignore is that the vast majority of humanity is living through the devastating effects of a social system that was long ago outmoded and broken down: world capitalism.

The Cuban people’s heroic revolution and socialist transformation of human relations is, as Cuban leaders point out, a historic achievement that far outstrips any product that Silicon Valley, General Motors or Lockheed-Martin peddles on the world market.

Keep sending the ‘Militant’
Since my transfer out of SHU [Security Housing Unit] I have not received any recent issues of the Militant. I request to be re-added to your subscription list. Your paper keeps myself and those around me abreast on current events and issues from a progressive perspective.
