Letter to the Communist Party of Cuba on its 8th Congress:
We send a special salute to the Communist Party of Cuba on the occasion of its eighth Party Congress.

Despite the challenges caused by the wrath of imperialism, Cuba is a standing example of what Socialism can look like, and Cuba’s achievements continue to be noticed by anti-Capitalists all over the world, but especially in the Caribbean.
