Freedom Socialist Party meeting - Cuba on the brink: how can the revolution be saved? January 13, 2011

Half a century ago, the Cuban people ignited hope among the world’s poor by making a revolution and building the first workers’ state in the Western hemisphere.

Hemmed in by a blockade, it has always been a struggle to survive. But now the government is courting foreign investment. One million Cubans are being phased out of State jobs and the government is encouraging small businesses.

These “free market” measures have greatly aggravated social inequality; women and Black Cubans have lost the most. The Freedom Socialist Party thinks the revolution is gravely imperilled. Hear more and join in a candid discussion about the problems and the solutions.

Dinner at 6:30 pm for an $8 donation, meeting at 7 pm.

Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick
