Cuba’s Participatory Path In A Time Of Economic Siege

November 26, 2025 Isaac Saney, Resumen English. Strategize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Economic crisis, Participatory Democracy

Amid one of the most severe economic moments since the triumph of the Revolution—and under the weight of a suffocating, ever-expanding U.S. imperial siege—Cuba is attempting something that remains almost unthinkable in the so-called advanced capitalist democracies: it is involving its citizenry directly, consciously, and systematically in charting the country’s economic future. While the wealthy western nations increasingly marginalize their own working populations, Cuba insists that the resolution of the crisis must be a collective, participatory, and profoundly democratic undertaking.

A study by the firm Reputation Lab polled people in 60 major countries, and found that the United States has a very bad reputation. The US ranking fell from what was already a low rank of 30 out of 60 in 2024 to an even worse 48th place in 2025. A clear demonstration of the political isolation of the US government can be seen in votes at the United Nations. The vast majority of countries on Earth voted at the UN General Assembly on 29 October to demand an end to the illegal US blockade of Cuba, which has been maintained in blatant violation of international law for more than six decades. 165 countries, representing 85.5% of the UN’s 193 member states, voted in support of a resolution that emphasized the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.

Hurricane Melissa Relief: An Urgent Message From The Peoples Forum

October 30, 2025 The People's Forum, Resumen English. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Humanitarian Aid, Hurricane Melissa, International Solidarity

Right now, the people of Cuba are facing an unprecedented crisis: crippling electrical blackouts, the relentless weight of the U.S. blockade, and now the arrival of Hurricane Melissa. We are sending urgently-needed food, clean water, and supplies to the island—and we need your help This hurricane is not merely a severe storm; it is a catastrophic event that has shredded infrastructure and left entire communities in life-threatening conditions. But this natural disaster is amplified exponentially by a man-made catastrophe. For over six decades, the U.S. blockade has choked the Cuban economy, preventing access to essential goods, medicines, and the materials needed for recovery. This policy of strangulation has been devastatingly intensified by measures put in place under the Trump administration and championed by figures like Marco Rubio.

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was given to María Corina Machado, a far-right, pro-war Venezuelan opposition leader who has been funded by the US government for more than two decades. Machado has helped to lead numerous violent coup attempts in Venezuela, in 2002, 2014, 2017, 2019, and again today. She is now at the center of the US government’s regime-change war against Venezuela. In an interview with Donald Trump Jr. in February 2025, Machado made it clear that she wants to privatize Venezuela’s state-owned oil industry and sell off the South American nation’s natural resources to US corporations.

World leaders from roughly 190 countries gathered in September for the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This year, many governments condemned the United States and Israel for carrying out crimes against humanity in Gaza. Representatives of numerous countries expressed support for the Palestinian people, while denouncing Western imperialism. A UN commission and multiple UN legal experts have stated conclusively that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. At the 2025 UNGA general debate, it was left-wing leaders from Latin America who led the resistance against the US empire. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro compared the US government to Nazi Germany and referred to Donald Trump as the “new Hitler”.

People Across Asia And Latin America Mobilize In Support Of Gaza Flotilla

Protests broke out in various countries in Asia on Thursday, October 2, following the Israeli attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) on Wednesday and the abduction of hundreds of activists. The GSF, consisting of over 40 ships with hundreds of activists onboard, was heading towards the besieged Palestinian territory of Gaza in order to break the Israeli siege and deliver crucial humanitarian aid to its people forced to starve by Israel. The ships were attacked by the Israeli forces on the night of October 1, an attack which continued until October 3, when they were scores of miles away from the Gaza coast. Israeli forces abducted the activists and seized the aid the ships were carrying for the people of Gaza.

The Most Urgent Priority Is To Create A New International Order

September 28, 2025 Bruno Rodriguez, Resumen English. Strategize! Cuba, Gaza, Genocide, International Law, Peace, United Nations

As we deliberate here, 2.2 million human beings in Gaza are condemned to starvation by the actions of genocide, extermination, and ethnic cleansing carried out by the Zionist regime, which has the military and financial supplies and impunity guaranteed by the United States government. On behalf of the government and people of Cuba, I reiterate our strongest solidarity with the Palestinian people and their just cause for freedom, independence, and an end to the Zionist occupation. If the Security Council proves powerless due to the veto that the United States exercises or threatens to exercise, and is unable to take effective measures to stop the barbarism, this General Assembly has the duty and the capacity to promote concrete measures without delay.

In Honor And Memory Of Assata Shakur

September 27, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace. Educate! Assata Shakur, Black Liberation, Cuba, Obituary

On September 25, 2025, the revolutionary Assata Shakur transitioned, leaving behind a legacy of uncompromising resistance and a blueprint for internationalist solidarity. As an anti-imperialist organization rooted in the long thread of the Black Radical Peace Tradition, we honor her with a renewed commitment to the liberation struggle to which she dedicated her life. Sister Assata understood that we are a people at war, and the struggle against this war is not one-dimensional. It is a fight for human dignity, community survival, popular power, self-determination, and complete liberation. The targeting, imprisonment, and torture she endured were the state’s counterinsurgent tactics to squash a movement by capturing its warriors—those who have the radical idea that African/Black people have the right to defend themselves and to be free.

Diplomats And Activists Gather To Commemorate Historic Meeting Between Fidel And Malcolm X

Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Fernández de Cossío, along with Cuban diplomats from the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations, gathered in Harlem alongside US-based activists and organizational leaders to commemorate the historic meeting between Fidel Castro and Malcolm X which took place 65 years ago. “The meeting at the Hotel Theresa was not a photo-op or passing event,” said Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of New York City-based movement incubator The People’s Forum. De Los Santos addressed the crowd gathered in the Riverside Church in Harlem. “It was a profound act of solidarity that showed the world a different way forward.”

The Great Hoax Against Venezuela: Oil Geopolitics Disguised As ‘War On Drugs’

September 3, 2025 Pino Arlacchi, Venezuelanalysis. Educate! Cuba, Donald Trump, Ecuador, Media, Propaganda, US Imperialism, Venezuela

During my time as head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), I frequently travelled to Colombia, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil, but never to Venezuela. There was simply no need. The Venezuelan government’s collaboration in the fight against drug trafficking was among the best in South America, rivalled only by Cuba’s impeccable record. This makes Trump’s narrative of a “narco-state” in Venezuela sound like geopolitically motivated slander. The 2025 World Drug Report tells a story that is the opposite of the narrative peddled by the Trump administration. Piece by piece, the report dismantles the geopolitical lie built around the “Cartel de los Soles”, an entity as mythical as the Loch Ness Monster, but which is useful for justifying sanctions, blockades and threats of military intervention against a country which, incidentally, sits on one of the planet’s largest oil reserves.

The US Increases Pressure On Cuba By Targeting Its Medical Brigades

August 21, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Henry Reeves Brigades, Trump Administration, US Sanctions

On August 13, the United States launched another attack on Cuba. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that his country would impose visa restrictions on officials from Brazil, Grenada, and African countries who hire or have hired Cuban medical brigades. According to Rubio, the work of Cuban doctors working in other countries is “forced labor”. The decision is part of a tightening of measures against the Caribbean island, which are in addition to the economic and commercial blockade imposed on the island as a means of punishment against the revolutionary process that began in 1959. “Today, the State Department took steps to impose visa restrictions on officials from the African, Cuban, and Grenadian governments, and their families, for their complicity in the Cuban regime’s medical mission plan,” Rubio said.

Cuba, Revolutionary Ethics And Moral Bankruptcy Of Western Capitalism

August 4, 2025 Isaac Saney, Resumen English. Educate! Capitalism, Cuba, Failed State, Haiti, Revolution

The Cuban revolution endures despite more than 60 years of U.S. attacks. One system exploits the people, while the other prioritizes their needs. Which nation deserves the label of “failed’? In an age where propaganda masquerades as truth and empire cloaks itself in the garb of “democracy,” few lies are as pervasive—or politically useful—as the assertion that Cuba is a failed state. This accusation, deployed with relentless regularity by U.S. officials, corporate media, and neoliberal ideologues, is meant to delegitimize a revolutionary and socialist project that has refused to bow before empire.

What Does Cuba’s New Legal Gender Recognition Law Entail?

On July 18, Cuba’s National Assembly of People’s Power approved a sweeping reform of the Civil Registry Law, which will allow transgender people to update their legal gender on official documents without requiring gender reassignment surgery. The reform was unanimously approved by the Cuban Parliament and aligns with the provisions of the 2019 Constitution and the Family Code, approved by referendum in 2022. In addition to legal gender recognition, the new law legally recognizes affective unions between unmarried couples and allows parents to choose the order of their children’s surnames, opening the door to more equitable and less normative practices in family structure.

Trump Tightens US Blockade On Cuba, Bans US Tourism

July 3, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Cuba, Donald Trump, Economic Blockade, Tourism, US Imperialism

US President Donald Trump signed a memorandum reinforcing the US blockade on Cuba and banning all US tourism to the island. The move targets Cuba’s economy and aims to isolate the Cuban government. On June 30, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum that dramatically tightens the longstanding US blockade against Cuba and prohibits all US citizens from traveling to the island. This policy shift overturns the more conciliatory approach adopted by the Biden administration and signals a renewed campaign to economically and politically isolate Cuba.

Washington Targets Achievements Of Cuba, Nicaragua, And Venezuela

June 12, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Marco Rubio, Nicaragua, Social Programs, Venezuela

“We look for the poorest patients,” the Cuban doctor in charge of the eye clinic said. “Often we travel to remote rural areas and bring them to the clinic in a bus.” The clinic, in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua, was part of Misión Milagro (Miracle Mission), run jointly by the Cuban and Venezuelan governments. The larger mission has treated over seven million patients in 33 countries since 2004. Local Nicaraguan doctors, trained by the Cubans, are now in charge in Ciudad Sandino. Misión Milagro is despised by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Washington has imposed sanctions on officials in countries using this and other Cuban medical missions. Supposedly aimed at stopping the “trafficking” of medical staff, the real intent is to destroy services that have proved immensely popular for their free, high-quality treatment, often in remote areas with few health facilities.
