Aleida Guevara: ¿De qué democracia hablan en Europa?

Emocionada y con la contundencia que la caracteriza, Aleida Guevara hizo una elocuente defensa de la dignidad del pueblo cubano para resistir el bloqueo criminal que desde hace más de medio siglo el imperio estadounidense (y sus aliados europeos) vienen imponiendo a su país.

Fue en una de las conferencias magistrales en el marco del VII Encuentro de Solidaridad Continental con Cuba que culminó el fin de semana en Caracas,Venezuela.

Guevara sostuvo que “si Estados Unidos no quiere comerciar con nosotros, no nos importa, pero sí nos parece muy mal que no podamos comerciar con otros países”. Dio ejemplos cotidianos que se convirtieron en un doloroso disparate, por el sadismo de los mandatarios de Washington en las últimas cinco décadas.

Allí está el caso de que “por no poder comprar leche en polvo en Europa, pues el imperio presionaba a las empresas locales, tuvimos que ir a buscar ese importante elemento que alimenta a nuestros niños y niñas en Nueva Zelanda, es decir, en el otro extremo del planeta”. En ese mismo sentido, la hija del Che Guevara expresó que no hay que olvidar que “todo barco que toque puerto cubano no puede volver a hacerlo en los de EEUU o cualquiera de sus aliados, durante los próximos seis meses”.

Evocó también cuando hubo que remover cielo y tierra por medicamentos para salvar vidas y las dificultades afrontadas. “Si en aras de salvar la vida de un cubano o cubana que esté enfermo tenemos que golpear las puertas de la Casa Blanca, lo haríamos, pero sabemos que no moverían un dedo para facilitarnos la tarea, todo lo contrario”, dijo.

Luego, Aleida embistió contra los gobiernos europeos: “¿De qué democracia hablan los europeos? ¿Cuándo se vio que se elija democráticamente a un rey, por ejemplo? ¿Dónde está la vieja Europa, que lo único que hace es claudicar todo el tiempo y arrodillarse ante Estados Unidos”, se preguntó.

Por último definió algunos elementos de la necesaria solidaridad que es preciso aplicar con todos los pueblos que luchan contra el imperio y por la liberación. Evocó aquellos tiempos en que el Che llamaba insistentemente para no dejar sola a Vietnam, igual que ahora hay que hacerlo con Iraq, Afganistán y Palestina. Y culminó: “No hay bloqueo que nos pueda vencer. La solidaridad es la ternura de los pueblos. Hagámosla realidad”.

Mantener la economía socialista

Otro excelente aporte al Encuentro hizo el economista cubano José Angel Pérez,presidente del Centro de Investigación de la Economía Mundial (CIEM), quien abordó los nuevos cambios que se están produciendo en Cuba. Pérez señaló que el actual modelo económico cubano significa “consolidar la economía socialista”. Remarcó: “Que nadie se equivoque: no es economía de mercado ni economía mixta, sino socialista”.

Luego se preguntó por qué hubo que actualizar el modelo económico: “Porque teníamos ciertas desproporciones y disfuncionalidades en el cumplimiento de las leyes, todo esto en el marco de la crisis mundial que se vive hoy”. No dudó en definir que la primera causa es el bloqueo estadounidense, que “ha provocado hasta fines de 2012 más de un billón de millones de dólares de pérdida”.

Insistió en que “hubo que actualizar en consecuencia el modelo económico, y no es para regresar al capitalismo, tal cual que dicen nuestros enemigos”. “Lo hacemos para garantizar la continuidad de nuestro modelo socialista”, afirmó.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide. 

F-35s & AI Chips: How MBS Outplayed Washington & Beijing

GVS Deep Dive  Saudi Arabia just secured two of the most powerful assets in modern geopolitics: the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and tens of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips. Washington hoped this would pull Riyadh firmly back into the American orbit. But the outcome is something neither side fully expected: Mohammad bin Salman outplayed both Washington and Beijing — and used the great-power rivalry to his advantage.

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

Mossad ‘in contact from very beginning’ with killers of Italian PM, reporter reveals

A roving reporter who covered Italy’s top politicians explains to The Grayzone how his country was reduced to a joint US-Israeli “aircraft carrier,” and raises troubling questions about an Israeli role in the killing of Prime Minister Aldo Moro.   by Kit Klarenberg and Wyatt Reed   Part 7 - Mossad continues Italian ops amid Gaza genocide   Today, there is little trace of any pro-Arab tendencies in mainstream Italian politics. According to Salerno, the US and Israel no longer have any need to “destabilize Italy” as the country is economically “weak.” Rome’s government now is for all intents and purposes “a continuation, even an extension, of the old fascist regime,” he says, adding, “there are people in the government that have statues of Mussolini in their houses.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has made clear she harbors little sympathy for the Palestinians, and little intention of recognizing a Palestinian state – even after it was revealed in November 2024 the Mossad ha...

Trump RUINED: Israel First Lies & Economic Freefall Just ENDED MAGA

Danny Haiphong   Tucker Carlson isn't the only journalist breaking with Trump. In this video, Patrick Henningsen goes scorched earth on Trump's massive betrayal of what he promised his "MAGA" base and blows the lid off how his massive lies serve as a cover up for a much bigger structural problem in America's 'Israel First' political system, what Tucker and major voices in elite MAGA won't tell you.  

Racing Extinction

suggested by failedevolution.blogspot 18th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival Scientists predict that humanity’s footprint on the planet may cause the loss of 50% of all species by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction in Earth’s history, following the fifth great extinction which took out the dinosaurs. Our era is called the Anthropocene, or “Age of Man,” because evidence shows that humanity has sparked a cataclysmic change of the world’s natural environment and animal life. Yet, we are the only ones who can stop the change we have created. The Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS), the group behind the Academy Award-winning film The Cove, is back with a new groundbreaking documentary. Joined by new innovators, this highly charged, impassioned collective of activists brings a voice to the thousands of species teetering on the very edge of life. The director has crafted an ambitious mission to clearly and artfu...

Neoliberal establishment will attempt to take control of the evangelical electoral army using its most powerful asset for such an operation: Joe Biden

globinfo freexchange Here is another strong indication about the theory we support, according to which Trump, Brexit and other far-right governments in power, are primarily the product of a merciless civil war of the big capital. Politico 's article subtitle tells you almost everything you need to know: The president’s supporters worry Biden can grab a larger slice of a critical voting bloc — when Trump can least afford departures from his base. Let's take a look at some interesting parts [most important highlighted]: It was June 10, 2008. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama had gathered with dozens of evangelical leaders — many of them fixtures of the religious right — at the urging of campaign aides. If he could offer genuine glimpses of his own abiding faith, they insisted he could chisel away at the conservative Christian voting bloc. The strategy worked. Obama’s campaign stops at churches, sermon-like speeches and hi...

Maduro's opening to China

“ Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday said he hopes Venezuela will use bilateral financing mechanisms and channel more funds to the areas of energy, mining, agriculture and industry while meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.” “ Financing mechanisms between the two countries total more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, according to Venezuelan experts. Financing mechanisms, including the China-Venezuela Fund, have provided financial support for some 256 projects. China and Venezuela upgraded their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Xi's visit to Venezuela in 2014, opening a new chapter in bilateral ties.” “ During their meeting, Xi called on the two sides to push bilateral ties to a higher-level. China supports Venezuela's efforts in restructuring its economy and establishing a manufacturing economic model, he said. Xi suggested the two countries push forward cooperation in the fields of oil exploration, infrastru...

South American Pink Tide nations should unite to face US imperialism

by system failure   In one thing Donald Trump and his liberal rivals are united: to keep the US imperialist project alive. No matter how much angry they are with him, the liberal clowns (and their corporate media) fully align behind the orange clown under the roof of the US imperialist circus.  After supporting ridiculously that Venezuela is a key drug cartel hub to justify a possible invasion, the orange clown suddenly remembered that Colombia "is making cocaine". For decades, the Colombian cartel under right-wing US-puppet governments, collaborated with CIA in drug trafficking. Yet, now, "coincidentally" under a Leftist government who actually tries to deal with the problem of drug trafficking, Trump discovered the Colombian cocaine.  Of course, even a ten-year old kid knows today that the US aggression against Latin America countries, has nothing to do with drugs, or defending Democracy and human rights. It has to do with the resources and the fact that Russia a...

What does Palantir really do? It profits from war and mass surveillance

Geopolitical Economy Report   Palantir is the corporate Big Brother. The CIA-backed company gets most of its revenue from government contracts. It profits from war, mass surveillance, and even dystopian "predictive policing". Ben Norton shows how Palantir is run by extreme hawks who insist the West is "superior" to the rest of the world, and seek an "unfair advantage" to maintain US hegemony.
