On day one of the second term of his Presidency, Donald Trump placed Cuba on the state-sponsors of terrorism list. This was days after Joe Biden, in one of his final acts as president, removed Cuba from the list. The Norwegian Communist Party condemn this action, as one of aggressive imperialistic domination of a land, whose people have chosen to chart an independent course towards liberation. We stand firm in our solidarity with the Cuban people and its revolutionary direction.
We point towards the amazing achievements made by the Cuban revolution in the face of American illegal economic sanctions and blockades and its unilateral State sponsors of terrorism list. These actions designed to harm the working people of Cuba and destabilize the Cuban revolution. Such unilateral action is illegal and should be revoked as soon as possible.
We trust that this economic warmongering will not affect the desire of the Cuban people to fulfill the ambitions of socialist liberation. We are extremely impressed with how the Cuban government and people have adopted socialism as a means to counteract the negative consequences of the economic war waged about the people.
The successes of the Cuban revolution continue to encourage the global communist movement. The fact that the US must wage an economic war to harm the people of Cuba is indicative of the correctness of the revolutionary path of the Cuban people. We know that US Imperialism cannot defeat the communist movement on an even playing field and instead must use weapons of war, be they economic, or physical, as demonstrated in countless times across the globe when the revolutionary masses raise their heads in resistance. When the global working class raise their heads they are met with the hammer blows of US Imperialism. But despite these aggressive attacks, the spirit of resistance does not diminish, but is only strengthened in its commitment to stay on the correct course towards liberation.
The Communist Party of Norway continues to support the struggle of the Cuban people and will work tirelessly to advocate for a Cuba free from the brutal conditions of US Imperialism. We stand firm in our solidarity with Cuba. We will never give up our support for the revolution.
The USA now acts on the global stage like a wounded tiger, attacking everywhere it can, to protect its global hegemony. Yet we know that it can be defeated. The material conditions that predicated US Imperialism are shifting and we can hope for the final victory of the communist movement over US Imperialism. We stand will the Cuban people during this period of hardship and we know that the people of Cuba are making many sacrifices to maintain their revolution. The task is difficult, but we trust that the people of Cuba will not waver in their determination to support the revolution. Cuba shall overcome!
