Internationalism
This is the new name for Communism
export. The system has strivento create guerrilla groups in all Latin
American, Asian, and African countries by sending men with the military
missions of creating rebel armies in those countries to institute Communism.
That was Castro's real role maneuvered by the USSR. There were lots of
people sent to many places and some of them yet unknown because they were
top secret: Bolivia, Angola, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Congo, Cambodia, Nicaragua,
Colombia, and many more among the ones targeted to create guerrilla
movements.One example is Ernesto Guevara who was sent by Castro to Congo
first and then to Bolivia where he was killed trying to overthrow those
systems and impose communist regimes.
Another type of "internationalism" has been to send help, supplies,
teachers,doctors, workers, builders to friendly countries such as Iraq,
Libia, Grenada, Nicaragua, Yemen, etc., with the exceeding supplies and
production leftovers from Cuban economy as a result of the "achievements" of
the Socialist system; all this being a good excuse to "penetrate" that
country.
Castro has donated enormous hospitals, schools, food, and medical supplies
just for propaganda to Latin American countries, whereas the Cuban people
have been starving to death lacking the supplies he was giving away as
humanitarian help.
Internationalist missions became mandatory because those who went abroad to
fight or work could have a car, a house, and full respect on their way back
(many doctors have cars due to this system), whereas others who refused to
go were discriminated, blackmailed, and cornered; and if they belonged to
the Communist Party, they were expelled with dishonor.
The war in Angola was the top example of this policy. Cubans - military and
party members basically - were forced to become soldiers and fight for
internationalism in Angola. Many died there, and they became martyrs of the
“Revolution”. There are large graveyards with dead people in Angola in every
Cuban city. Those who returned alive were treated like heroes and granted
good positions in the government.
Castro himself once confessed that in those days he was so busy following
the war in Angola that he had no time to rule the country’s economy
A few years later it is proven to be the reason why the economy collapsed
the way it did and has when he lost his socialist friends’ support. Castro
was indeed a spy in Latin America, and he was being paid with the support
for the Cuban economy.
So internationalism was characterized by sending people overseas to die, by
exporting revolutions, by intruding in other countries' affairs, by
developing
an international propaganda of Cuba's progress, and by blackmailing or
bribing people with such internationalist missions.
Castro's words have always been sacred for his followers who respect him,
admire him and worship him like a God and even his birthday on August 13th
is celebrated all over the country. This “internationalist” policy broke
many families and homes in Cuba: dead fathers, divorce, and mourning were
the main results.
