The Fiftieth Anniversary
of the U.S. Trade Embargo
on Cuba
For fifty years, which were marked on this February 7th, the American government has maintained a relative trade embargo, which is not too severe, on the totalitarian Marxist-Leninist dictatorship of the Castro brothers. Emphasis must be made on the concept that this is a relative embargo, because the Cuban dictatorship is allowed to buy food and medicine in the United States and travel to the island and remittances are allowed for family members.
The embargo specifies conditions for its lifting that are, basically, circumscribed to “freedom for prisoners of conscience, respect for human rights and legalization of political parties,” all of which continue to be subjected to the tyranny’s whims.
This is an embargo that – it needs to be repeated – is very relative because the Castro dictatorship can buy anything it wants anywhere in the world, including food and medicines from the United States of America.
This embargo is not the fundamental reason for the misery that prevails in Cuba because, we repeat the word, that misery is typical of what characterizes a totalitarian Marxist-Leninist regime. A list of the reasons for the tragic experiences of the system imposed by the Castros shows that all the political, moral and physical responsibility falls on the totalitarian tyranny that since 1959 is scourging the Cuban people, all of whose liberties have been eliminated.
It should be avoided that an evil-minded propaganda succeeds in having people believe that the American embargo, that just turned fifty, is an aggression against the Cuban people. The true and only enemy of the Cuban people and their well-being is that opprobrious system that is identified with the name of communism or Marxism-Leninism.
Those in the world who are sincerely concerned with the well-being of the Cuban people, should do everything they can to help free them from the yoke that oppresses them.
