ME:ANING OF ANNIVERSARY OF SOCIALIST PROCLAMATION ANALYZED
Havana BOHEMIA in Spanish 10 Apr 81 pp 48-49
[Editorial: "For Socialism"]
[Testj It has been said that the memories which characterize anniversaries are a
necessary part of life. This is true, but even so these recollections retain the
great moments of peoples, the moments of great change, of definitive events, in the
present and future memory forever. This is happening to us all now, two decades after
16 April 1961, and this will also happen for the future generations of Cuba. F.or
the specific proclamation of the socialist nature of the revolution on that glorious
- afternoon could not nor can it ever be erased from the national memory: It was the
peak moment for the fatherland.
As was 10 October 1868, when the brave Cespedes blazed the eternal Crail of Cuban
nationality on the Cauto plains; as was 1 January 1959, when the process which would
lead to the true and irreversible recovery of our national dignity began; 16 April
1961 will remain forever as a milestone marking the ascent of Cuban nationality to -
its highest level: socialism.
The imperialists, it is obvious, did not think then that they were witnessing a
singular historic moment. On that April day 20 years ago, they rubbed their hands in
satisfaction with what they regarded as the certain success of the mercenary invasion
which they had prepared and organized, and which had already had the bombing of the
Cuban airbases on th~ preceding day as ita prelude. Obviously they could not under-
stand that the anger and indignation of millions of citizens was taking shape in
confidence with regard to the imminent danger and in vibrant enthusiasm for the words
of the leader, when at the intersection of 23d and 12th streets in Vedado, he pro-
claimed, in their name, what the country had been living for some months.
_ For a struggle was waged in Cuba for socialism, the long-term aspiration of many men
and women in our fatherland, from the time the enterprises owned by the imperialists
were nationalized; for a struggle was waged for socialism in Cuba from the time the
basic means of production were expropriated from the exploiting owners; for a struggle
was waged in Cuba for socialism from the time the people recovered for themselves the
national assets which for centuries had been used to the benefit of privileged
minorities, dominated during the 50 years of the pseudorepublic by the U.S, imperialists.
Thus after the deed, after the event, the culmination of onp process and the begin-
ning of an~ther, so intimately interlinked that they are inseparable, was proclaimed

in truth. The Cub an revolution has been one and the same, from the days of the
struggle against the usurping tyranny to the present. Between the national liberatiori
struggle and the battle for the construction of socialism no break can be noted,
rather the latter is the natural consequence of the former, and as children, it saw
the light after a period of gestation. In fact, the struggle for socialism was Waged
beginning on 1 January, when for the first time in Cuban historyx representatives of
the peoples' masses came to power to serve the national interest.
For more than a hundred years, the struggle to consolidate the nation has been a
historic task undertaken by the popular sectors. Slaves, craftsmen, peasants and
small owners were the rebel mass in the wars of independence in the last century.
The workers were the basic nucleus of the Cuban Revolutionary Party established by
Jose Marti in the campaign to prepare for and organize the "necessary war." And it
would be the workers' class, the peasants, the intellectuals and the honest profes-
sionals and small owners' sectors which would be the social elements which would face
the imperialist onslaught which had the support of the dominant-dependent bourgeoisie
during the days of the pseudorepublic.
~ Thus a true revolution which 1ed consistently to a national clash with the imperialists _
and their local allies would become socialist as the only way of guaranteeing the
national conquest through the full elimination of dependent capitalism and all exploita-
tion of man by man. Th2refore the revolution of Cespedes, Gomez, MacPO and Marti is
the same revolution as that of Mella and Guiteras, the same revolution. into which
Fidel Castro victoriously led the Cuban people.
But these things were not understood by the haughty imperialists, in whose eyes the
rebellion of the people merited exemplary punishment which would return matters to
the past of hateful neocolenialism. The imperialist gentlemen could not understand
then--as it seems they do not want to understand now, either--that this is a people
- which has won the present and the future, which has won the right to build socialism. _
For this is a people who went ragged in. the jungle for 10 y~..rs, and yet they joined
in Maceo's uprising in Baragua. For they rallied around t}=~ anti-imperialist speeches
of Marti and under the guidance of the Cuban Revolutionary .drty they resumed the
battle for independence, at the cost of seeing almost a qur? er of the population
perish. For they confronted, undaunted, the tyrannies and t~e imperia.lists until they
_ could rise, in the 1930s, in a formidable mass movement. l..~r they took heart after
the attack on the Moncada Barracks, fought a hard war agaii:*_ th~ tyrant's army, and
rallied in solidarity around Fidel Castro.
Therefore, although the Marxist-Leninist concepts were b
