The same was also true with Argentina, where both Cuba and the USSR maintained full diplomatic and trade relations throughout the "Dirty War". Of course, Cuba's alliance with the Non-Aligned movement was a complete farce, given its unbending alignment with the USSR Nonetheless, Castro's position as leader of the Movement was quite a political coup for him, given that he served in that post during a period in which Cuba was a firm Soviet Satellite.

If the USA is hostile to the Baathists and to the Cuban CP, they will tend to protect each other. Cuba's foreign policy, however, should not be a model for the left. In 1968 when Mexican students were being massacred by the army and police, Fidel Castro did not make a single speech denouncing the PRI. In that very same year, when Franco was killing and torturing CP'ers and Basque nationalists in Spain, Cuba did not protest--not even once. That was because fascist Spain defied the trade embargo, just like Mexico. I can understand why a country under siege would make such a mistake but sycophants like Stansfield Smith have no excuse. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/godisamethodist%40yahoo.com ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
