The trouble is that our interests, that is, those of the people, and the interests of the North American monopolies are at variance. The countries of America understand the value of active solidarity among friendly countries, and they would not risk a reversal of such magnitude. We do not practice politics by blocs, so that we cannot side with the neutralist bloc, nor, for the same reason, do we belong to the socialist bloc. It is difficult to assess problems with such precision. These are some of the problems which trouble us at times, but, far from distressing us, they serve to accustom us to the struggle.
Revolutions function by waves.
When Mr. Huberman asked this question, perhaps it was accurate, but today there are fewer counter-revolutionaries than before Giron Beach. Now that it is again attempting to raise its head and inflict new harm, our intention is to eliminate the counter-revolutionaries. The defections of more or less prominent figures are due to the fact that the socialist revolution left the opportunists, the ambitious, and the fearful far behind and now advances toward a new regime free of this class of vermin. It seems elementary to us that the way of the socialist revolution must be chosen, the exploitation of man by man must be abolished, economic planning must be undertaken, and all means of assisting the public welfare must be placed at the service of the community. In any case, it would be necessary to define the term more precisely, to see if it also includes the right to welcome punitive expeditions sent by a country to the north.
