Sweig Inside the Cuban Revolution: Fidel Castro and the Urban Underground Julia E. Sweig Julia Sweig shatters the mythology surrounding the Cuban Revolution in a compelling revisionist history that reconsiders the revolutionary roles of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and restores to a central position the leadership of the Cuban urban underground, the Llano. Granted unprecedented access to the classified records of Castro's 26th of July Movement's underground operatives--the only scholar inside or outside of Cuba allowed access to the complete collection in the Cuban Council of State's Office of Historic Affairs-- she details the ideological, political, and strategic debates between Castro's mountain-based guerrilla movement and the urban revolutionaries in Havana, Santiago, and other cities. In a close study of the fifteen months from November 1956 to July 1958, when the urban underground leadership was dominant, Sweig examines the debate between the two groups over whether to wage guerrilla warfare in the countryside or armed insurrection in the cities, and is the first to document the extent of Castro's cooperation with the Llano. She unveils the essential role of the urban underground, led by such figures as Frank País, Armando Hart, Haydée Santamaria, Enrique Oltuski, and Faustino Pérez, in controlling critical decisions on tactics, strategy, allocation of resources, and relations with opposition forces, political parties, Cuban exiles, even the United States--contradicting the standard view of Castro as the primary decision maker during the revolution. In revealing the true relationship between Castro and the urban underground, Sweig redefines the history of the Cuban Revolution, offering guideposts for understanding Cuban politics in the 1960s and raising intriguing questions for the future transition of power in Cuba.

  • Originality and Relevance of the Cuban Revolution
    4 Originality and Relevance of the Cuban Revolution The predominant tendency in European intellectual and political circles is to regard the Cuban regime as a kind of fossil, a Stalinist hangover, and even in more traditional leftist circles which see Cuba as an example of social justice and resistance to globalisation, virtually no-one suggests that other countries could learn from the Cuban experience in political terms. The Cuban experience is identifi ed with armed struggle, and since the neutralisation of the Central American guerrilla movements armed revolution has been discredited. Although strong insurgent movements still exist in Colombia – the FARC, ELN and others – their strategy is to combine armed struggle with other methods and to seek a negotiated political solution; their great achievement (which should not be overlooked despite government and media demonisation of them as ‘narco-terrorists’) has been to maintain popular armed resistance to neo-liberalism. Within the last decade other movements which defend the resort to arms have appeared, notably the Zapatistas in Mexico, but given their limited military capacity and their strategy of ‘dissolution’ rather than seizure of power, it would be more accurate to describe them as representing ‘armed contestation’ as opposed to revolutionary armed struggle in the classic sense. Small organisations which advocate armed struggle in theory exist in many countries, and it would be rash to suggest that the question of armed revolution will never again be on the agenda in Latin America; but at present it is clear that political confl icts are resolved through a combination of elections and mass mobilisations which are predominantly peaceful.

Abstract The problem facing the Cuban Revolution after 1959 was how to increase productive capacity and labour productivity, in conditions of underdevelopment and in transition to socialism, without relying on capitalist mechanisms that would undermine the formation of new consciousness and social relations integral to communism. Locating Guevara’s economic analysis at the heart of the research, the thesis examines policies and development strategies formulated to meet this challenge, thereby refuting the mainstream view that his emphasis on consciousness was idealist. Rather, it was intrinsic and instrumental to the economic philosophy and strategy for social change advocated.

  • Death of Communism Part 1
    0 Death of communism Joy of Satan ministers 26.09.2014 1 Preface There is a war going on 'out there' involving other worlds, extending to different parts of our galaxy. The greys made a deal with the Vatican - wealth and power in exchange for souls. That was one. It all has to do with occult power, along with race as well. In addition to the mass murders and tortures of Gentiles, spiritual knowledge was forcibly removed. This is what Christianity and Islam are all about. Spiritual knowledge and occult power are systematically removed and replaced with meaningless crap. This is analogous to a sense taken from one side in a war, say one of the five senses and the enemy who has all five has an obvious clear advantage. The side with four or less will obviously lose. In our case, this was the sixth sense that was removed along with knowledge pertaining to it. In its place, like I already wrote above- meaningless crap along with lies to replace it. The Inquisition even went as far as to murder the grandchildren and other descendants of so-called 'heretics." This is because the "witchpower" is hereditary. This was a huge victory for the enemy, no different from communism where mass murders are committed to wipe out any memory of the former generations that were a threat. Then, the occult knowledge is kept ion the hands of a few, mainly top Jews [they also have full control of the Vatican and also Islam at key points]. This was all accomplished with the help of the enemy human-hating greys and their reptilian superiors, and carried out by the Jews who are tied in with them.

  • Sweig, Julia. Inside the Cuban Revolution: Fidel Castro and the Urban Underground
    ACHSC / 32 / Romero Sweig, Julia. Inside the Cuban Revolution: Fidel Castro and the Urban Underground. Cambridge (Massachusetts): Harvard University Press, 2002. 254 páginas. Susana Romero Sánchez Estudiante, Maestría en Historia Universidad Nacional de Colombia Inside the Cuban Revolution es uno de los últimos trabajos sobre la revolución cubana, incluso se ha dicho que es el definitivo, escrito por la investigadora en relaciones internacionales con América Latina y Cuba, Julia Sweig, del Consejo para las Relaciones Internacionales de Estados Unidos y de la Universidad John Hopkins. El libro trata a la revolución cubana desde dentro (como su título lo insinúa), es decir, narra la historia del Movimiento 26 de julio (M267) –sus conflictos y sus disputas internas; mientras, paralelamente, explica cómo ese movimiento logró liderar la oposición a Fulgencio Batista y cómo se produjo el proceso revolucionario, en un período que comprende desde los primeros meses de 1957 hasta la formación del primer gabinete del gobierno revolucionario, durante los primeros días de enero de 1959. En lo que respecta a la historia del 26 de julio, la autora se preocupa principalmente de la relación entre las fuerzas del llano y de la sierra, y sobre el proceso revolucionario, el libro profundiza en cómo el M267 se convirtió en la fuerza más popular de la oposición y en su relación con las demás organizaciones. Uno de los grandes aportes de Sweig es que logra poner en evidencia fuentes documentales cubanas, a las cuales ningún investigador había podido tener acceso con anterioridad. Esas nuevas fuentes consisten en el fondo documental Celia Sánchez, de la Oficina de Asuntos Históricos de La Habana, el cual contiene correspondencia entre los dirigentes –civiles y militares–1 del Movimiento 26 de julio, informes y planes operacionales durante la “lucha contra la tiranía”, es decir, desde que Fulgencio Batista dio el golpe de estado a Carlos Prío Socarrás, el 10 de marzo de 1952, hasta el triunfo de la revolución cubana, en enero de 1959.

  • Castro Cuba in Mid-1960
    Mexico & Caribbean Area Series Vol. V No. 1 (CUBA) CASTRO CUBA IN MID- 1960 Some Over -all Impressions of the Revolution by Irving P. Pflaum Havana August 1960 For many spectators the tragi-mystery of Castro's Cuba was solved when Nikita Khrushchev confessed his love for Fidel and was accepted. After this, there remained for the last act only a few critical questions: What was Uncle Sam, the pap; bearded in his den, going to do? And what were the precise intentions of Nikita, already over - lord of a crowded, restless harem? What would be the impact on the leading men of Latin America who had reacted so adversely to the Nikita-Fidel em- brace? But for me, after six months in Cuba, this was an over simple reading of a complex. revolution- ary jigsaw puzzle. The enigmas and dilemmas of the Castro epoch cannot be disposed of so easily. This is the point I will elaborate on in forthcoming reports. Those that follow this introductory com- ment will convey my soundings made on the island before it was cast adrift on the Cold War seas. Here, my intent is to relate some personal impres- sions and conclusions--ideas borne in on me during my provincial meandering, after scores of inter - views and a host of informal contacts in the cities and towns of Cuba, and from the commentary record compiled both before and after Castro came to power. An inextricable admixture of violence and rumor is the fabric of rev0 - lution. In Cuba of late there have been abortive assassinations, the clash of rival groups in the streets, demonstrations in the churches, comings and goings of inscrutable Orientals and uncommunicative Russians, debates in the United Nations and earnest palavers in the Organization of American States, diplomatic notes galore, and many another event to delight the imagination, And what wild and wonderful rumors have been spawned.

  • Art 9 Por Qué Ché En Las Villas -Aremis Hurtado (94-102).Pmd
    ISLAS, 57 (179): 94-102; mayo-agosto, 2015 Aremis A. Hurtado ¿Por qué el Che en Tandrón Las Villas? Un pueblo que olvida su historia es como un hom- bre que pierde la memoria y no puede avanzar ha- cia delante. ARMANDO HART DÁVALOS in lugar a duda, una de las personalidades más fecundas del Ssiglo XX latinoamericano, y cubano en especial, lo fue Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (1928-1967), quien se ganó con su pensamiento y acción un lugar significativo en la historia. Múltiples fueron las esferas en las que se desplegara la labor del Che, médico, fotógrafo, guerrillero, lo que se pudiera en- cerrar en una sola palabra capaz de definirlo: revolucionario. No obstante, en este trabajo se abordará la vertiente guerri- llera de Guevara, y de forma especial el porqué de su presencia en la antigua provincia de Las Villas, no solo como jefe de la Columna No. 8 Ciro Redondo, sino como comandante en Jefe del Movimiento 26 de Julio en el territorio central cubano. En el mes de febrero de 1958, Fidel Castro en su condición de Comandante en Jefe del Ejército Rebelde, envió un mensaje con Clodomira Acosta Ferrales,1 al macizo montañoso de Las Vi- 1 Clodomira Acosta Ferrales fue mensajera de la Columna No. 1 al mando del Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro.
