cuba's prologue: when capital squeezes too hard
listen, this 'prologue' to the cuban revolution isn't some polite academic chapter, it's the damn scream of a populace crushed under the heel of american capital. talking about 'pt. iii' without dissecting how the island's entire material base was warped for sugar, for Wall Street's profit margins, how a parasitic local bourgeoisie gorged itself while the peasants starved – that's just intellectual cowardice. the 'prologue' is the relentless accumulation, the absolute degradation of human labor, forcing a choice between destitution and violent liberation. don't pretend it was anything less than the system eating itself alive, creating the very forces that would tear it down. that isn't history, it's an economic inevitability.
