![]() ![]() ![]() While there has been, as the author points out, "a certain change in the pro-Castro sentiment In the 1970s", Augustin Souchy, whom I met in 1976 or 1977 while he toured the U.S. They ignored appeals for elementary solidarity with our embattled, oppressed anarchist comrades and workers in Cuba. Our comrade Fernandez rightfully deplores the anti-anarchist and pro-Castro sentiment of many sections of the anarchist movement who learned nothing from the disastrous degeneration of the Russian Revolution into a totalitarian dictatorship. I am glad to note that comrade Fernandez points out that while anarchists took a very active part in Jose Marti's movement for independence of Cuba, they did "not renounce their ideals of liberty and social justice". I refer for example, to the influence of the tobacco workers in the WORKERS ALLIANCE in Tampa and Key West, Florida during the great strikes. A history of the Cuban people is not worth reading If it does not include the history of anarchist struggles for the free society.Īlthough brief, this essay reveals information which I did not have in my book about the Cuban Revolution and would have gladly included in the chapter "ANARCHISM IN CUBA". ![]() The anarchist movement and the labor movement were inseparable. In this little essay our esteemed comrade Frank Fernandez traces the influence of anarchist ideas on the Cuban people, the development of the Cuban labor movement traces back to at least the middle of the 19th Century, Anarchism was not a small and isolated sect.
