Obama’s left covers Castrism’s back when they are selling out the Cuban revolution to US imperialism
They celebrate the “end of the blockade”, whey Yankees won and the restoration in Cuba is completed
They are the left of the capitalist restoration!

Those who yesterday supported Obama-Castro’s pact and their policy of international popular front are celebrating today their triumph, i.e. resuming of diplomatic relationships between Cuba-USA. Left, CCP appendix, stated a “victory of revolution”, “David defeated Goliath”, “Obama is weak and acts according to the forces relationship”, “the end of the blockade is a defeat of imperialism” and many other poisonous definitions issued by PO and PTS of Argentina against the consciousness of the Cuban, US and world workers. This is scam to support by left the red gusanos (worms, TN)of CCP who open the gates of Cuba to Wall Street!

In order do this they justified their policy focusing the “question of blockade” using as a smoke screen to hide yankee’s victory in Cuba who finally restore capitalism with Castro and the Church.
This is why to the (so called) “US blockade” they give a economical character, of trade isolation, when this is only one side of such counterrevolutionary policy carried on by US imperialism for a period.

The truth is that for decades the blockade had one goal: restore capitalism in Cuba. US imperialism used it to create the conditions for a direct counterrevolutionary invasion with the gusanos of Miami to restore capitalism with cannons, but Cuban and Latin American masses did not allow it.

However the imperialist blockade allowed counterrevolutionary bureaucracy with their reactionary pseudo-theory of “socialism in a one country” create the conditions to settle as administrator of the worker state; and after the fall of USSR in 1989 the bureaucracy became restoring, direct agents of imperialism, becoming partner of European financial capital, while the masses resisted -without surrendering- the misery and needs during the `90s, when Castro  wanted to make them believe during the so-called “special period” that a portion of rice was “socialism”.

What is clear is that the imperialist blockade achieved its goal, in this way it has triumphed. But the question, as we will see, is not the “blockade” which had expired years ago since financial capital entered to island thanks to Castro brothers, but now Cargill, Coca Cola and Caterpiller return to La Habana to get all the business and launching a counterrevolutionary hard blow against the world masses. This tragedy is called by the reformist left a “triumph”! We are living the consequences of the real blockade that Cuban people suffered for decades: Castro’s that blocked Cuba from world revolution!

Let’s see what FT-PTS says on the “end of the blockade”: “first of all, a late recognition of the political failure of the US strategy of open hostility and blockade, which as Obama himself said ‘did not work out’. Secondly it is not due to the Pope’s or Obama’s ‘good will’, but it is a sub-product of imperialism’s need to adapt to forces relationship in the region where Cuba’s role is important and where it is a key factor in the fierce anti-imperialist resistance of the Cuban people and the solidarity of the Latin American peoples before US interventionism”.

So according to FT Obama was forced to end the blockade because he is weak? Is imperialism, which rules the world with cannons and hundreds of military bases, weak? The one who threw its crisis to the rest of the world, even to the European powers. The one had its hands free to stop Middle East revolution with a brutal genocide carried on by its lackeys as Al Assad, Putin, Xi Xinping, ect. Is that imperialism weak the one that FT is talking about?

The end of the blockade means USA entering to Cuba with its banks, Cargill, Monsanto, goods for a promising market, technology to get the health system, use maquilas to exploit qualified cheap labor force, with luxury hotels take the business of tourism for US bourgeoisie, to end with triangulated commerce and they negotiate directly with Cuba, for sure taking the place of some competitors like Spain or France… do all these facts mean the late recognition of Obama because imperialism is weak? They are servants of the Democrats and Castro!

Obama talks about the “failure of the blockade” because they are the ruling imperialism and they will not allow European imperialisms to keep the entire business of capitalist restoration. USA abandoned some time ago the policy of military hostility and defined that brothers Castro were their agents to take Wall Street back to the island. Obama talks about “failure” to get everything because the blockade achieved its goal and in Cuba Yankees won: the capitalist restoration has been imposed. This is what the left of “friends of La Habana” hides!

According to the position of “Obama’s left” they should support capitalist restorations carried on by Yeltsin in the former USSR or Nixon-Deng Xiao Ping pact used to guarantee capitalist restoration in China. Today this left tells the Cuban and world masses that US imperialism, its banks and companies, can take progress to Cuba and help it to leave the crisis behind. That is a lie! The president of US Chamber of Commerce and Cargill CEO met with brothers Castro to plan business, plunder and exploitation. They will not bring any “progress” but a new a brutal colonization of the nation that will finally impose worst sufferings to Cuba than during Batista’s times.

On the other hand, what is the forces relationship that FT talks about, which is leading Obama to make a “concession”? How many actions were called by left organizations to prevent capitalist restoration in the island? None! How many bolibourgeois government did they denounce? Since the scam of Bolivarian revolution allowed USA to restore capitalism and Castro became their agent. None! On the contrary they showed Obama as democratic, they divert every fight that broke with him and bourgeois governments in the region; they had a class conciliation policy, from the dock workers of Oakland, occupy Wall Street, the workers of Bolivia, taking COB to support Morales’ government, supporting first Chavez and then Maduro “against fascism”.

Forces relationship conquered by Obama to complete capitalist restoration in the island was because he crushed every revolution in the 21st Century in Latin America and he imposed counterrevolution in Syria. But he could not do it alone. He had the invaluable help of reformist left, boot-licker of Obama and Castro to desynchronize and divert every process, which in case of moving forward it would have turned the forces relationship against restoration.

PTS even said that the blockade kept by USA against the island was to suffocate Cuba and with blushing says: “but its effects were relieved in part by the increase of exchange and tourism with European, South American countries and China, where the cheap oil sold by Venezuela was a key contribution”. Are they saying that bourgeois governments which expropriate workers and peasants revolutions “relieved” these effects? PTS gives not only Castrism a progressive character but also to Bolivarians by stating that with them and with European TNCs there was a counterweight to the blockade over Cuba. Imperialist blockade could only be defeated with international socialist revolution! For these provision of services that Castrim awarded PTS in La Habana for their “documentaries” where they hide Fidel betrayals during the ‘70s.

For FT, the question of capitalist restoration in the island is secondary, the fact that was a brutal blow against the Latin American and world working class by losing the Cuban worker state, because in short for FT “… establishing ‘normal’ trade relationships with the biggest and closest world economy is an objective need for the small and weak Cuban economy”. For FT capitalist restoration is some normal and even progressive, they talked that European TNCs and Boliviarians cool down the damages of the blockade and all kinds of praises to capitalism, but they do not even say that is Wall Street entering La Habana means a victory, Cuban and Latin American workers earn the same wages that US qualified workers. Equal job for equal wages! Of course they do not say it because posing this demand would mean making a call to set up a continental revolutionary fight of the working class.

This is a current which openly supports Castrism that wants to hide at all cost that in Cuba Yankees won because the only way to break imperialist blockade was with Latin American revolution and transforming Bolivia, Argentina, Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela and USA into “new Cubas”; i.e. international socialist revolution.

In last instance the worst is that if reformism pose that the end of imperialist blockade means a “victory of Cuba”, what they are stating with their Stalinist program is that national independence of a semi-colonial world comes from the strength of capitalist system. I.e. for reformism if all conquers of revolution are lost, if the worker-peasant government and dictatorship of the proletariat are lost, this is how Cuba will keep and increase its national independence. They are the denial of Permanent Revolution which states that working class as leader of an oppressed nation, by expropriating imperialism and native bourgeoisie can conquer democratic demands of national independence and agrarian reform, and such revolution can only triumph fully and effectively as socialist international revolution.
Yesterday they were renegades of Trotskyism, today they are new Stalinists!

It is a “left” that called “victory” the open the road to capitalism in Cuba by ending every conquer of the revolution; it is a left that tells the working class that they can advance in their demands by destroying socialism; it is a left that celebrates the process of colonization opened in Cuba to make the island USA’s brothel again, where the most cultured and qualified workers will be slaverized by TNCs with wages of 18 dollars and to return to a regime of exploitation, plunder and misery, in worst conditions than Chinese workers who live under the boots of the new mandarins. This is what they are celebrating! This is what they call victories! It is a reformist left which became real executioners of the working class and poor peasants. This is clear now and we, Trotskyists, will not hide it.

Reformist left wants to show a defeat as a victory and the enemies of the proletariat as allies. That is their goal! They have supported Castrism since the beginning and today they are celebrating restoration! What destroyers and liquidator of Marxism are really saying is that Cuban revolution can move forward without defeating Castrism and without smashing with the methods of socialist revolution. 

Reformism always said that Stalinist bureaucracy had a “dual character”. This means it was a counterrevolutionary bureaucracy, but it was “progressive” before imperialism. Under this theory Pablism dissolved the full sections of 4th International in the after-war in the CPs that “would confront imperialism”. We, the Trotskyists, state that bureaucracy has only one character: counterrevolutionary.
They are continuers of Pablism who destroyed SWP formed by Trotsky and young Cannon, which become an agency of Castrism to which SWP defend as “the most revolutionary leadership after Lenin and Trotsky deaths”. Jack Barnes and his allies ended a strategic conquer of the intentional proletariat: a revolutionary party within the imperialist beast.

Today the fraudsters are trying to deceive the proletariat by showing brothers Castro as “bureaucrats”. This means that they “defend revolution’s conquers in their own way”. Left does not call to defeat them with the methods of civil war. Left does all it can to justify its bankruptcy and submission to the bourgeoisie. What is clear now is that the destroyers of the 4th International never were in favor of the victory of political revolution in the former workers states. They always supported Stalinism, Castrism and today capitalism.

The fact that FT calls to defend Cuban revolution’s conquers would be funny if it would not be a tragedy for the working class. Because there is nothing left of these conquers. They keep talking about political revolution when private property has been re-established; the monopoly of foreign trade and planed economy are over; where brothers Castro and the members of old bureaucracy became bourgeoisie. 

Unfortunately for the proletariat in Cuba we saw the Trotsyist premise that 4th International defined for USSR “The political prognosis has an alternative character: either the bureaucracy, becoming ever more the organ of the world bourgeoisie in the workers’ state, will overthrow the new forms of property and plunge the country back to capitalism; or the working class will crush the bureaucracy and open the way to socialism.” (Transitional Program 1938)

As they have silenced restoration, they have also errased the language of socialist revolution to Latin America, USA and Cuba in particular.

The renegades of Trotskyism have become “executioners” of the working class because they have been deceiving the most militant sector of the world proletariat for decades in order to capitalist restoration be fully imposed. They have declared themselves enemies of Trotkyist transitional program and the theory-program of permanent revolution!

The destroyers of Trotskyism must explain their actions before history. They will not leave this betrayals unpunished! Out their hands of 4th International!
An international re-group of the forces of revolutionary socialism and international workers organizations has become urgent to raise the program to smash capitalist restoration in Cuba.
