[Marxism] Interview with Fidel

["Darrel Furlotte" <darrel.furlotte@xxxxxxxxx>]

Today, a two-part special: An interview with Fidel earlier this month by the 
Argentine sociologist Atilio Boron, which appeared on Boron's blog and was also 
published at Pagina 12.

Fidel and Boron discussed the G-20 meeting, and the motives for inviting 
Argentina, Brazil and Mexico to dine with the adults.  And Fidel talked about 
the recent cabinet changes: "If I expressed an opinion about the change in the 
cabinet," he said, "it was due to the necessity to cut off at the root the talk 
about a conflict between Fidel's men and those of Raúl. I couldn't endorse this 
stupidity by my silence.Raúl is the one who is governing. In Cuba, many people 
paid with their lives for the victory and consolidation of the Revolution, not 
just in the Sierra Maestra and in the struggle against Batista. Afterwards, 
they also killed our literacy teachers in Cuba, and they are still doing it 
outside of Cuba. The same thing goes on with our doctors, who risk their lives 
to make socialist internationalism a reality."

Finally, they discuss the ominous possibility of a rightward political swing in 
Latin America as a consequence of the economic crisis.
