Revolutionary appreciation & respect to Comrade Fidel Castro

To: Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz
Commander in Chief
President of the Republic of Cuba
C/- Consulate General of the Republic of Cuba to Australia

Dearest Comrade

Your comrades in the Democratic Socialist Perspective in Australia join
millions of others around the world in offering our deepest appreciation
and respect for your long and exemplary revolutionary service as
President of the Republic of Cuba. In a world being condemned by
capitalism to war, poverty, injustice, and now, an unprecendented global
environmental crisis, the great example of revolutionary Cuba, and your
personal leadership, have been beacons of hope.

Here on the other side of the world to Cuba, we are campaigning for the
government of our wealthy country to simply match the medical and
education aid that Cuba has provided to our neighbour, the newly
independent, but poor and small nation of Timor Leste. This says
something very profound about revolutionary Cuba. Cuba's aid, based on
international solidarity not the advancement of corporate profit, speaks
to the hearts and minds of the ordinary people in our region. It
champions the cause of socialism through deeds more eloquent and
persuasive than many words.

It will be hard for others to match your historic leadership but we are
confident that the Cuban revolution, which has survived the unremitting
and ruthless hostility of its powerful imperialist neighbour, will find
the resources to live up to your fine example in revolutionary leadership.

For our part, we repledge our complete solidarity for the Cuban
revolution, the other socialist revolutions in the making and those
which are still to come. Every revolution that takes place in this 21st
Century will in no small part owe a large debt to the Cuban
revolutionary example and Cuban solidarity.

While your role as head of a great revolutionary state has come to an
end, your role as revolutionary teacher and inspirer of millions in
struggle for a better world, continues. We are privileged to continue as
some of your proudest students.

Revolutionary salute!

Dearest Comrade

Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) is offering our deepest appreciation and respect for your long and exemplary revolutionary service as President of the Republic of Cuba.

Revolutionary masses of Cuba and your leaderships, have been beacons of hope for people around the world to resist imperialist domination which has produced war, poverty, starvation, environmental crisis, social injustice and oppressions.

PSM applauses Cuba and its people, for standing up against the savageness of capitalism, and survived the unremitting and ruthless hostility of powerful imperialist nations like US. Cuba under its revolutionary leadership has also played significant role in strengthening international solidarity of ordinary people through medical and education aid.

With the rising of revolutionary masses throughout the continent of Latin America, especially in Venezuela, PSM believes that Cuba will deepen its unfinished revolutionary process by joining hands with revolutionary masses in these countries. With the deepening and spreading of revolution towards Socialism, it surely will inspire people around the world including us in Malaysia to keep up our fighting spirit to struggle against capitalism and to build a better world for everyone.

Viva Cuba! Viva Revolucion!

Revolutionary salute,

Choo Chon Kai, International Bureau,

Socialist Party of Malaysia / Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM)

Castro, in almost 50 years of revolutionary service, you have served the world unlike any other.
You are a real legend to which the world should aspire to. You were willing to sacrifice you life for a better world.
A better world that is possible.
