Cuba

We, the undersigned Communist, workers’, and left-wing parties of South Asia, issue this collective call in firm and unwavering solidarity with the government and people of Cuba.

This action plan was unanimously passed at 2026 International US-Cuba Normalization Conference held at the People’s Forum in New York City.

Pedro Gellert — Cuba’s destruction is the price it must pay for thumbing its nose at the US behemoth. That’s why the left must do all we can to defend Cuba.

Dave Holmes — Sixty seven years after the initial victory of the Cuban Revolution, it faces perhaps its greatest ever challenge as Washington moves in for the kill.

Ana Cristina Carvalhaes, Israel Dutra, João Machado & Manuel Rodríguez Banchs — This is not “just” a war against Cuba and its revolutionary tradition but a war against the sovereignty of all Latin American countries and Latino peoples within the US.

Statements by Socialist Alliance (Australia), Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, Partido Lakas ng Masa (the Philippines) and Socialist Party of Malaysia opposing US imperialism’s latest threats against Cuba and in solidarity with the Cuban people.

Samuel Barney — Cubans have taken a great stride towards human emancipation through their revolution. We in the US would do well to acknowledge that.

Harold Cardenas Lema — The Cuban Communist Party Central Committee Plenary Session in July offered the party leadership an opportunity to frankly acknowledge the scale of the current crisis. It failed to do so.

Ernesto Limia Díaz draws out the challenges Cuban revolutionaries face today as they try to confront the impact of a severe economic crisis.

Eric Toussaint — Claudio Katz's new book, Latin America at the Global Crossroads, concentrates on the continent’s relations with China and with US imperialism.

In Cuba you can be on the left while criticizing the government and the system. This is the position — complex, articulated and not always understood in the polarized Cuban political context — that Cuban intellectual Alina Bárbara López Hernández laid out in an interview.
