WITH THE CUBAN PEOPLE AND AGAINST THE DICTATORSHIP OF FIDEL CASTRO

When a long-lasting and bloody dictatorship such as that of Fidel Castro in Cuba is nowadays capable of imprisoning a large number of dissidents for many long years and of executing by firing squad three Black young men accused of unproved crimes by means of fallacious evidence, it is impossible for any human being to remain in complicit
silence. We don’t believe that leaving such feats uncontested is an honest attitude. An attitude we can’t assume, regardless of how much simpathy one might feel for Castro’s fascism, on the contrary, it is imperative to condemn and denounce this abuse of power. State terrorism, capable of any crime, has shown with these judicial aberrations its cowardice and hatred of its own people.
Castro’s national socialism demonstrates to what lows of
depravity it has sunk.

An indispensable prerequisite to maintain a dictatorship is the abuse of power and the need to incarcerate and assassinate its opposition. Condemnation of this totalitarian conduct is a necessary act of integrity. Silence would be another betrayal to the Cuban people.
Faced with these sad events it is our inescapable duty to demand the freedom of all political prisoners and to demand that all repressive laws that uphold the regime, including the death penalty, be forever abolished from the Cuban judicial system.

The Cuban Libertarian Movement, with over forty years of constant struggle against Castro’s fascism, declares its most energetic repudiation against the Cuban state and asks all anarchist comrades all over the world to show their solidarity with our people’s freedom and to put an end to the complicit silence some still maintain in favor of the Castro dictatorship. A man alone does not exercise power. Repressive thugs, intellectual eunuchs and silent collaborators within and without Cuba are guilty accomplices of keeping a people on its knees for over forty-three years. It is time that as anarchists we demand and proclaim freedom and justice for the Cuban people.

We hope all our comrades of every country that have not yet done so will unite with us in this collective protest against Castro’s despotism and by doing so will take their place among the world’s free human beings.

Anyone interested in Cuban anarchism should check out Frank Fernandez's book "Cuban Anarchism: The History of a Movement". The entire book is online on the Anarchist People of Color website, http://illegalvoices.org/apoc/books/cuban/front.html

Another good one is Sam Dolgoff's "The Cuban Revolution: A Critical Perspective", also available online at the Anarchy Archives website http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/bright/dolgoff/cubanrevolution/toc.html

Zitten er nu ook al 'anarchisten' in de Miami-lobby???
