It’s good to see you still at it, old man. I became aware of Cuba at the time of the missile crisis in Oct. 1962 when I was a student at the University of British Columbia. I was the Literature Agent for the Vancouver (B.C., Ca.) chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee when they assassinated US President Kennedy. That job mostly consisted of getting together stocks or your speeches, C. Wright Mill’s book “Listen Yankee” and other pamphlets explaining the revolution and selling them at political meetings around the city. There were only a handful of us of course. In passing, I also remember Oswald yelling, “I’m just a patsy!”, to the reporters as he was being hustled through the jail in Dallas. Something the Warren Commission blithely ignored – along with a mountain of other evidence. In times since then I’ve often wondered to what degree Kennedy was influenced by the Cuban Revolution. But we’ll probably never know now.
Your article is rambling but very readable, as usual. In other words I liked it. Give yourself another 10 years at least. We’re still going to need you.

Excellent, Comrade Fidel. At this time of US hypocrisy, selling arms and bombing the buyers, we need the Cubans to remind us about the truth of US imperialism. The history of the struggle for the Cuban revolution and its survival is absolutely necessary for the younger generation to make sense in this time of wars and austerity amid plenty. I would only add, that as a British person, I am fully aware, and so a growing number of us, that British imperialism and the parasitic and vicious financial sector, are also responsible for many of the horrors of capitalism versus the people of the world.
