Sections of the rich and elite in the US and the
world over rejoiced over and celebrated his death. To their understanding,
death of Castro symbolizes the end of an era of brutal dictatorship, marked by
a challenge to US hegemony on American continent and an alternative path of development
based on rejection of the capitalist road. They hailed his death for good riddance
from the red monster.
Castro’s supporters, however, mourned his demise as
the end of a martyr who opened up a ‘new road to socialism’ through his dare-devil
struggle against Batista regime and liberated Cuba from the shackles of
imperialist domination.
At the outset, marxist revolutionaries, must reject the venomous propaganda against Castro, motivated as it is by the deep-rooted imperialist malice, vile prejudices and political ill-will against the Cuban revolution, by those who had all through supported bloody, predatory dictatorships everywhere in the world including in Latin Americas.
The ruthlessness, of which Castro is accused repeatedly by the imperialist bigots, was the most legitimate answer of the revolution to the unlimited reactionary savagery perpetuated and forced on Cuban workers and toilers by the imperialist butchers and their client regimes in Cuba for decades before and after the revolution.
