Long Live Fidel! Long Live the People's Monarchy of Cuba!

Long Live Fidel! Long Live the People's Monarchy of Cuba!

Statement by Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba
Tuesday, Aug 1st, 2006

"Not even Jesus Christ, who drove the traders out of the temple with a whip, would fail to opt for the defense of the people."
- Fidel Castro, President of the Republic of Cuba, at the May Day rally held in Revolution Square. Havana, May 1, 2003

In light of Monday's announcement that Cuban President Fidel Castro, while recovering from intestinal surgery, has temporarily relinquished power to his brother, Raul Castro, Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC) expresses its absolute faith in the democratic people's monarchy of Cuba.

As long as a single member of the Castro family survives, the heroic Cuban Revolution will survive! The Castro family is the true representative of the people and their trust in the Communist Party of Cuba. We affirm our absolute faith that Raul Castro will serve as an effective leader. He is, after all, Fidel's brother. We must remember that monarchy came long before the decadent capitalist system of today.

We must remember that prior to the Cuban Revolution, Fidel was not a communist, and that in fact Communist Party officials were part of the dictatorship. This proves that although Fidel is now a communist, he is most of all a Cuban. He is such a Cuban that he has been able to transform the Communist Party into a truly Cuban party, the party of the people.

We must remember that Fidel loves us and will always be there for us.

Fidel can never die! And even if he does die, he will rise again! Fidel is suffering to save us from our sins.
