"This picture was taken today, on day 3 of the First International Colloquium of the Centenary of Comandante Fidel Castro in Havana.
I have attended as part of the Assata Shakur Brigade to bring practical solidarity and 20 suitcases of vital supplies to support the Cuban Revolution against the genocidal US blockade.
The barbarism of the imperialists I've witnessed here does not come as bombs from the sky, but as the preventable deaths of thousands of infants in hospitals across this nation. This is the direct result of the blockade, a policy of murder carried out by the monsters in Washington DC.
I look forward to returning to Britain to continue the vital work of defending this revolution at home, as part of my Party, my brigade and the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. This is the responsibility of every communist in Britain, and of every friend of peace, sovereignty and the struggle for socialism worldwide."
- Comrade Ben W, SE London Branch, reporting from Cuba.

¡Fidel Vive! Quien lo dude que mire al mundo de hoy a través de su legado. Todo lo que denunció en ONU/1960 y 1979, lo que alertó en Río en 1992, lo que dejó escrito en casi 500 Reflexiones, siguen siendo problemas por resolver.

Also, there’s a solar eclipse tonight.

🇨🇺 Cuba President:
"Marxism-Leninism is not a dead doctrine, not a catechism, but a method, a guide, an instrument for concretely solving the problems of life... socialism remains the only realistic and humane way out of capitalist barbarism, as scientific Marxism taught us."
