Its intention was to bolster and continue the United States embargo against Cuba. It also opposes Cuban membership in international institutions, and prohibits commercial television broadcasts from the United States to Cuba.

Cuban Revolution Quotes By Malcolm X

A revolution is bloody, but America is in a unique position. She's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. The Russian revolution was bloody, Chinese revolution was bloody, French revolution was bloody, Cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the American Revolution. But today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. All she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything. — Malcolm X

Cuban Revolution Quotes By Noam Chomsky

I think it's just been a core part of the Cuban revolution to have a very high level of internationalism.

Long live the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro. — Nelson Mandela
