For over 60 years, the USA has imposed a blockade that prohibits trade relations with Cuba, which often complicates the supply situation on the island. This is an imperialist attack on Cuba: socialism and Cuban sovereignty are a thorn in the side of the USA, which is why it is prepared to cause great suffering.
Under Trump's first term in office, the blockade was significantly tightened in 2017 and the memorandum was recently reissued. American propaganda wants to justify this crime with old-fashioned myths such as “democracy, human rights”, as it does with every other imperialist aggression, and wants to see socialism in Cuba smashed. They have the cheek to claim that the blockade is in the interests of the Cuban people.
Most of the world condemns this blockade - most states of the so-called Eastern Bloc and the Global South for decades, but also many Western subjects of the USA since the end of the Cold War. Because the blockade violates international law, the UN General Assembly regularly votes (symbolically) to lift it - only the USA itself and, of course, Israel vote against it.
The blockade is intolerable and must be ended immediately!
Cuba's determination to withstand imperialist pressure and stand together in defense of socialism and sovereignty prevents complete collapse - but the supply situation must be improved by bringing down the blockade. We are in solidarity with Cuba and its struggle against imperialism - so let's stand up together against the blockade!
¡viva cuba socialista!
