Havana, Nov. 27. - Marx and Engels did not look at the world from the same vantage point as Lenin; the first two did so from the most industrially developed Europe, a colonizing center of vast regions of the planet; Lenin, from one of the most backward economies in Europe, which nevertheless maintained dominance and cultural hegemony, as an empire, of extensive territories of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Lenin had to start from a novel concept, that of the “weakest link,” and think about building a new type of relationship with the former Russian colonies, which would respect their self-determinati...
The outcome of the war in Eastern Europe has decisive geopolitical implications in geopolitical, strategic and economic aspects. Much of the new global order that is being formed has its origin in the war that began a thousand days ago, on February 24, 2022.
Reforestation has become one of the most effective strategies to combat climate change, conserve biodiversity and restore degraded ecosystems.
The man is not more than 40 years old. He approaches me and repeats a phrase that the networks peddle from Miami with the intention of inoculating it into the bloodstream of Cuban society: “the system does not work.” He says it as if the evidence of the fact were incontestable. We remained several days without electricity (four, five, six days, depending on the area of ??Havana), after Hurricane Rafael crossed Artemisa from south to north, and its winds destroyed homes, crops and workplaces in that province and knocked down numerous trees and electric poles in the capital.

Much has been written and known about how neoliberalism, which emerged after the failure of Keynesianism and was offered to us all at the time by the USA (Reagan) and England (Thatcher), had brought us the panacea of globalization, which should have turned our planet into a connected whole of societies that would gradually become – despite the distances and national borders – one, in which equal opportunities would make irrelevant the geographical, political, ideological, religious, ethnic differences… that all of this would increasingly enrich our cultures thanks to the expansion of economic and cultu...
With haste and a strong patriotic unitary feeling, on November 4, 1868, the people of Camagüey entered the first war of independence, initiated by Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, with the uprising of 76 combatants in the Paso de Las Clavellinas of the Saramaguaicán River, three leagues (13 km) from Puerto Príncipe, on the road to Nuevitas.

Havana, Oct. 31. - At dusk on the second day, the woman went out onto the balcony of her apartment to bang on a pot. She insisted for a few minutes, but no one in the neighborhood supported her. The remote organizers of the expected counterrevolutionary “soft coup” were betting that a massive popular protest would take place. The abrupt fall of electrical services throughout the country had shaken Cubans, although in many provinces power outages were already common
Along with the consideration of the project, the General Assembly evaluates a detailed report prepared by the General Secretariat of the United Nations with contributions from 180 countries and thirty organizations attached to the forum.
We say Camilo and without hesitation, fires of courage come to us, beyond his last name. We say Camilo and his triumphs, perseverance and charisma are also signs of a natural fire to overcome the impossible. With his physical disappearance 65 years ago, that rebellious energy was further ignited, converted into fires of lights for a Revolution that after January 1, 1959 only had him with it for 301 days.
The BRICS Summit is one of the events that will be moving foreign policy this year. From being a group of nations that were looking for a financial alternative to humanity's problems, they have become the center par excellence in which monetary stability and firm developmental policies are found. And although the BRICS do not yet have a unified way of acting, it is seen as an opportunity by the majority of state entities at the global level that do not have direct relations with Western globalist policies or that do not benefit from it.
