The great dichotomy of the Cuban critical left has always been opposing the U.S. imperialist intervention, its expansionist and interference-driven character, while also denouncing the dictatorial traits and rights violations of a State that calls itself socialist. At this point, that dichotomy is more than resolved for many people, since one cannot be revolutionary and Cuban without acknowledging that the “Revolution” of ’59 died long ago and that the current State is rooted in the annulment of political rights, and has even destroyed those so-called “achievements” that the historic generation once defended. Cuba is a country where the lack of fundamental guarantees such as access to healthcare, sanitation, and dignified education is common; although these rights appear in the Constitution, in practice they are not enjoyed by the people.
