The Cuban Communist Party was founded in 1925, the same year the Italian Communist Party was founded in Livorno, Italy, demonstrating that communist movements emerged simultaneously in different parts of the world. The first communist in Cuba was Carlos Baliño, who was born in 1848 and was part of the Cuban Revolutionary Party of José Martí. The party evolved through various stages, including the 1906 Socialist Party of Cuba, and was later recognized by the Comintern (Communist International) in 1925. Key figures like Fabio Grobar, Julio Antonio Mella, and others played crucial roles in the development of communism in Cuba, with the movement being influenced by both local Cuban revolutionary traditions and international communist movements from Europe and Russia.
La Génesis del Comunismo en Cuba. Martín Sabater.Añadido:
You are about to enter a space that is diametrically opposed to racism, violence, division, and manipulation, wherever they may come from. If you are distressed by any of these terrible scourges, your sensibilities may be seriously damaged by the content you are about to see.
There is a light behind the fear, a truth waiting to be awakened.
Serene voices, time and memory.
A village learns to walk.
Cuba lives in every thought, in every story to be told, because silence also preserves what should not be changed.
Tired hands, eyes open from the hermitage of charity, always looking towards the horizon. And every experience leaves its mark, every hope remains standing.
We meet night after night with respect and dignity.
Looking at the world with firm judgment, without giving up on the truth.
Focused, focused.
Here the truth is told, because the history of our Cuba must never be forgotten.
Focused, focused with firmness and clarity.
We remain steadfast on our path without losing our will.
Every word carries weight. Each criterion, each identity, looking at the world and its paths with experience and dignity.
focused, focused on the truth and on thinking.
Even though night may try to cover us, the light returns once again.
Focused, focused.
with memory and will.
We never give up.
Why?
Good evening, I am Andrés Alburquerque enjoying the song that Huerca gave us.
The more I listen to it, the more I like it, the more features I find, the more subtleties I find, right? In my opinion, only the person who wrote it knows that, but I do n't see that it intends to cling to broad lyrical acidity, do I? There it is, going 90 miles per hour.
Táata in the strike zone.
You really hit the mark, Huerca, you really hit the mark with your song.
Thank you so much, we are very grateful. And well, today, to get in the mood, I'm bringing you a program with Martín Zabater.
Monday, that is, Tuesday.
We're breaking the rule today because yesterday was Memorial Day and so today is May 26, 2026, so play the 26, play the 26, the 2 and the six and the five, because the month is the fifth. Take a chance. And if he gets rich, enjoy it. As Denopin said, getting rich is, how did he say it?
Getting rich is great, isn't it? I didn't forget, he said it would enrich him, well, wouldn't it? The first communist who spoke about how he would get rich, well, because communists do get rich, but they don't tell anyone.
Then he at least said, "Getting rich is, look me up the phrase there, look me up the shopping phrase, getting rich is great, something like that." But anyway, today we're going to bring you the genesis of communism in Cuba.
And you might say, "But hey, how many times does Genesis last a month?
So far we've covered everything from when Fabio Grobar, Sefunda, and Baliño Mella arrived, who were used as a smokescreen because the real Comintern was behind it all, but anyway, that was in '25, '26, I remember, because in '26 there was the Cyclone incident, as Perfecto Carrasquilla said.
But anyway, I think the Cuban Communist Party was founded in '25, the same year, gentlemen, the same year that the Italian Communist Party was founded in Livorno, in Tuscany.
Look at this.
Italy, in Europe, right there, and the Communist Party was founded right next door, nose to nose with the Cuban one, and then there are people who say they weren't meant for us, but it's always been that way.
But what we want today is to get rich, that's glorious," said Denia.
What we want today—and glorious is a word the communists use today—we want to give the Genesis, that is, before the arrival of Fabio Grom.
Come on, let's see, because there they bring in a tobacconist who was a friend of Martí, Carlos Baliño.
So you say, "Well, the guy was with Martí.
Martí, we know he wasn't a communist and how is it possible that the paths of communism are strange, gentlemen.
So, well, we're going to bring in Martín Zabater to talk a little about the genesis of communism and then, logically, what he did, because you can give the genesis, but if we don't review how it evolves, then we haven't done anything. We're going to mention a few names that we may have overlooked or not mentioned so far. And we're going to the same names as Ramón Nicolao, Osvaldo Sánchez, Flavio Bravo, Fabio Grobar, imagine that.
But anyway, I think it was an excellent idea of Martin's. to take a half step back so that because this gives us the idea, gentlemen, Italy relatively next to Germany, to Russia, relatively speaking, compare it to a little island lost in the Caribbean and the Communist Parties were founded practically at the same time, one in Livorno and the other in Havana, I think. Look, the detail is important. I'm almost certain because Meya was from Havana, but I'll look for him, I'll leave it at that.
Okay. So please, bring me Martin Zabater and bring me the curtain of something you should know. Zabater will tell you about it, and we're going to get started today because we have a lot to talk about. Forward.
Martin, how are you? Good night.
Hey, good night to you, Karen, and everyone. I'm not going to mention it because there are thousands. Thank God we already have thousands.
Uh, you made a perfect introduction for what I want to start talking about, because this idea arises from the fact that the Soviet penetration in Cuba is always emphasized, that is, the Communist Party with Leni alive. You know that we have spoken a thousand times that the Third International was founded by Lenin in 1919 in Moscow and began to annex one of the countries that was re-annexed. Why do I say reannexed? Because Ukraine was annexed to the Russian SAR empire and Ukraine became independent in 1917 when the SAR abdicated in the February revolution, which is not Lenin's revolution. Remember that Lenin staged a coup against those who overthrew the SAR.
and in 1922 he created the Soviet Union, something Putin wanted to commemorate by taking over Ukraine in 1922, which marked the 100th anniversary of the Soviet Union. Remember that Putin comes from the KGB, a henchman of state security, and that he is not a communist, well, he is not a communist in the Soviet Union's sense, but remember that on this May 9th we emphasized that the parade opened on May 9th in the square. Why May 9th? Because it is the day that fascism and Nazism are defeated.
And behind the Russian flag, which is the tricolor, white, blue and red, which is the one that Russia took back, was the red one of the hammer.
So how can you tell me that it fell apart in '91 and yet in the May 9th parade of 2026 there is the red Soviet Union flag with the star and the yellow hammer behind the national flag?
So, analyze why it was very significant for you and him to invade Ukraine in '22 when the Soviet Union was founded. In other words, he wanted to annex Ukraine again, commemorating the 100th anniversary of what he did there. You figure out who Putin is. It's indefensible.
Look, I want to start by talking about a woman who, because she was a woman, couldn't receive back what she gave, but it took courage to do it.
It is Dr. Mercedes Pérez Duáz, whom I had the honor of meeting, along with her husband, the pediatrician Dr. David Pérez Cruz, who lived almost on the corner of La Habana Libre, the Habana Hilton hotel, that building that is there on L25.
I taught their son, David, Davidito Pérez Cruz, who is a doctor here today. They left Cuba, of course, as soon as they could, and Davidito is a doctor here; he has a daughter who is also a doctor here.
It's a very nice marriage, he's married to a Venezuelan woman and both families are excellent.
And talking to Davicito the other day, because he calls me, he travels a lot, he always does, his work is precisely in Europe. In other words, you could sit and talk with him for 10 hours because when he goes to Europe he lives in Spain, but he has been to Italy 100 times, to Greece, everywhere. By the way, he speaks Greek, he speaks English, he speaks German, he speaks Spanish and his profession is doctor, but since he works in that field, he has specialized and has a knack for IDs, like you, so they stick to him, I do n't.
So, that doctor Mercedes Pérez Duan was born Andrés two years before Mireya Margoya, she was born in '22.
Mireella was born in '24. She died years ago, many years ago, she didn't live 102 years like Mireella, but she was at the university at the same time as Mireella, as Conte Agüero, and as that crazy, devilish Fidel Castro came in.
Naturally, having been born in '22, she was 4 years older than Fidel Castro, 2 years older than Mireya Marg, and was already in the final years of her career, if not the last.
And that scoundrel Fidel Castro tried to stage a kind of strike at the school, up there on the hill, and he stood at the school's exit door, refusing to let people leave because he said people had to stay in the classrooms, that that was the reason for the return, that the students weren't going to go, that they were going to stay and they wouldn't be able to close the school and the council members, clean up and well, do the normal work that's done at night after they close. The usual thing, the communists creating chaos.
Yes, but Fidel Castro was a rookie, a real nobody, nobody knew him. And this lady, who was already in her fifth year of university and who was like the women of yesteryear, she says, "I have to go out because my dad is sick and I take care of him." So, with your permission. She says the guy touched her, you can't leave. He put it in. It is the first documented blow dealt to Fidel Castro upon entering the race.
Of course, she was a woman and he wasn't going to mess with her. Wow, if he hits her back, he'll probably die because in 1940, hitting a woman in Cuba would get you chopped into mincemeat. But the guy did this, he stepped aside and the whole classroom followed behind her. In other words, his mission to close the classroom was a failure. At least in that way he got his share, I imagine he had distributed henchmen of that, aspiring beer drinkers everywhere. May Dr. Mercedes Pérez Cruz rest in peace.
Today I want to honor, because yesterday was Memorial Day and we didn't have a program, all those who fell, both in the United States and in Cuba, for freedom, because ultimately what the United States has fought for is freedom, not to add land.
And I'm letting you know that I want to do a show with Faisel, another trio. I know you liked threesomes, but not this type.
With two males, right? So, no.
And two old males, that is, two old goats, two bastards.
So, notice how honoring the fallen was already done yesterday. The president laid the floral offering; everything that is done is done as an act. That drunk idiot Camala Harris tweeted this, listen to this, she posted on Twitter or I don't know where she writes on Instagram, I don't know where.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Imagine yourself on Memorial Day. Enjoy the long weekend. What fell on him was a May 20 because he's an idiot. And then he deleted that Twitter account and posted another one that was a little more patriotic. Can you imagine Memorial Day? Hey, enjoy the long weekend, this is a party, man. It's Memorial Day.
If people have barbecues and all that, okay, but don't say, enjoy a weekend that is indeed long, but it is a remembrance of the dead. It's not a celebration, it 's not the 4th of July, he's a total idiot.
And to think that this woman was vice president and almost didn't become president because of fraud. So, having said that, I want to honor, for example, today, no, yesterday when there was no program, was the death of José Cheito León, everyone knows him from the movie El hombre Maicinicu. Remember that that man died fighting and wounded. He opened the last grenade he had left when the American soldiers came to get him. There it is. That's Cheito León. It has nothing to do with the character of Enrique Miravalle, who was the one who did it. Very well done, by the way, because Enrique Miravalle was a great actor.
Reinal, Reinaldo, Alicia, Reinaldo, Reinaldo. Look what I said, Enrique.
And I named you César Reinaldo. César Reinaldo. By the way, I'm going to show you a picture there that you can't deny looks like Andrés Reinaldo, but older. And I'll tell you when I arrive. Look, Cheito León dies blown up by a grenade that, when they were about to capture him, the two who were going to arrest him were blown up with him. In other words, he took what he could until the very end.
He was one of the rebel leaders with the most history of bravery, fighting until the very last moment. And that was in '63, May 25th, '63. Now, look, in that same year, '63, I want to highlight a decree-law issued by that crazy, devilish man and his sister, the Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, "La China," also in May of '63. It was that in rural areas, that is, in the Cuban countryside, they dared to impose a curfew from the 15th to the 30th of May or June.
Any peasant caught by military patrols outside their home between 8 pm and 11 pm, and before 5 am—because at 5 am they had to go out and milk the cows, and they couldn't set that later than 5—would be shot. Andrés, that's not talked about.
Look, that's it, so you know, that was denounced by the human rights committee of Bofil.
We're working on that. Auntie, Castro, me, a number of people because that didn't happen and nobody knew about it. I was talking about 1988.
That's at least in the OAS file, case 787A of Andrés.
File 787. A tells me that it is indeed in the OAS. I don't know if it reached the United Nations, because you know that if the OE is garbage, the United Nations is infiltrated by the left, so it's even worse.
Look, between June 15 and June 30, 1963, Andrés, 21 peasants were shot in Pinas del Río. In Havana 117 peasants, in Matanzas 87 peasants, in Las Villas 11, in Camahwey 91 and in Oriente only one. Look at that contradiction. in the East, only one. A total of 345 peasants were executed without trial on the spot after being surprised by the patrol.
How many times have you heard about that?
No.
However, listen to me, in 15 days they shot 341 people. If you happen to have the names of those who were executed during those days, which I don't have. Hey, in the part you do in honor of the fallen, the martyrs and the heroes, those 15 days from June 15th to June 30th you have to take the program to mention names, because there are 345 farmers and the only crime was being outside the house at 8 pm or before 5 am. Let it be known, that was a decree order, not a decree law because it is an order, curfew. Curfews are imposed whenever the government in power feels like it, and they cannot be established as an indisputable law. But you can imagine, maybe one of those farmers got caught visiting his girlfriend or got up earlier than 5 in the morning to tend to the cow. It cost him his life. What was the purpose of that?
That they couldn't help the rebels because, gentlemen, in 1963, look, in Havana they shot 117.
I've said that Havana doesn't have hills and you know it, it doesn't have mountains, it doesn't have a mountain range, but in the vain that they hid in the temples of shoes, I mean, in 1963 the government still had a tyranny, that's not a government, it was so afraid of the help to the rebels that it put that and they killed 341 people, gentlemen, without trial and in situations where they caught them they shot them right there. Now then, having said that, honor to the martyrs and heroes of the United States and of Cuba, which has many dead, as you have always said. Look, Faisel did an excellent show last week, I saw that it had a very big following, I don't know how many views it had, but he closed the show with almost 500 people watching it live. And he mentions something that I've been asked, you know, I get asked a lot of things so that I can ask you or so that I can, I mean, I'm your mailbox for what?
And he spoke of the Realengo 18. I was shocked by the number of people who don't know what happened in Realengo 18, and that a movie was made about it in Cuba. In Cuba, they didn't make a movie about Realengo 18.
Yes, but you already know what spin-off they made it with.
Yes, but the issue was discussed, I mean, it's not something that people can just do.
Sure, I don't know what that movie is from, from the 60s, I knocked over a lamp. Wait.
No, no, go on, go on.
No, no, the lamp didn't break. They fell. Look, uh, it seems I hit the cable.
The royal estate 18.
First, let's tell you what they called Royal Estate in republican Cuba. Look, Ralengo was the area that had no owners that belonged to the nation, that is, there was no title deed to that land. It was in relation to the land; it was not a house, nor was it the land, the cultivable land.
So, in the Sierra Maestra there were many areas that had no owners, there was no title deed, there was no one who could get a title deed because they had inherited it.
Look, the movement that forms in the royal land 18, because the royal lands, that is, those areas that were called royal land, were numbered so that the government would have an inventory. Royal Land 18 was an area located in the Sierra Maestra mountains. As you can see there, there are peasants on horseback with saddles, with professional signs and with weapons that say land or blood.
Andrés, no. That episode, by the way, was one of those that aired at 7:30 in Cuba, remember? No no. When I wasn't in jail, they were looking for me.
I think one of the main actors was Mario Limonta.
Mario Limonta worked there. I don't remember what his character's name was, but he fought with a guy they called Dye. I remember that, you know? So that you know how the government, the misgovernment, the regime changed things and made them look like a gentle dove. Explain to us what this thing called Real was, like how they portrayed Cheito León in the movie about the man from Mais.
They told it their way. Look, when you see the horses with saddles, the boots the guairos have, weapons and a sign like that, Andrés, how cool.
huge, huge.
So, who was behind that movement? You just mentioned it, Ramón Nicolao for the Communist Party.
Look, that's what it was, and I'm going to say it because Ramón Nicolao is a real contrast. That one doesn't look like Andrés Reinal to you. He does look like him to me, but older, more worn out.
Look, uh, Ramón Nicolao, who was one of the main militants of the Communist Party in Cuba at the level of the leaders, of the people of action. He came from the Soviet Union, he was a member of the USSR. He was a member of the URS team, just like Eduardo Sánchez. And no, Sánchez was the most barbaric one there, but Flavio Bravo was there too.
No, I also hadn't gone to the Yes, look, they, remember that I was in '38 with Black Rock in the Soviet Union, that they return when Batista gives the amnesty.
Yes, look, they were all in the URS, they took a short course, but they were trained in what we've mentioned, trained like this, yes, through those spy schools and all that.
Exact. There was Nicolao Osvaldo Sánchez, who was the general brother of the KB, husband of Clementina Serra, and Ramón Nicolao and also Flavio Br among others, there were more, but well, those are the most difficult ones. That man was the one who led that movement and supplied it with horses, clothes, and weapons. And that sign, you can see it was made in a printing shop. There is n't a single country bumpkin in the mountains who has that facility, to make that sign, land or blood. So what was the goal of that movement?
to take advantage of the revolution of '33, which was the last plague, you know, eh, everyone wanted to fish when Machado left. Machado leaves on August 12, 1933, and all those governments come in: the pentarchy, the 100-day government, the 12-hour government, the 6-hour government, the 8-month government, Mendietas who removes the Plato amendment; those disasters happen in those years. Well, in that year 34 when the silver amendment was removed, since 33, since September 4, 33, eh Machado had been on August 12, remember that he had remained as president, eh, that is, they had put the son of Carlos Manuel de Ceppe as president, who was Carlos Manuel de CPE.
And Batista is the one who staged a coup with the movements that we have made the program of the chochos, sergeant and class and soldier and he was the strongman. Batista was the head of the army, he was a colonel, from sergeant to colonel, then he became a general, but he wasn't a general yet in '34.
And look at the difference. These peasants rise up in arms led by the Communist Party.
claiming the right to those lands where they lived because it belonged to no one, in short, it belonged to the nation. And if there were poor farmers who had neither land nor work, the most logical thing was for the Republic to let them plant there at least their sustenance and that of their families, which is what they were doing there. They weren't getting rich, they weren't growing marijuana like Crescencio Pérez, nor were they there planting their own things and keeping their animals. Why does the problem arise? Because large companies, both Cuban and American, should remember that in 1934 Cuba already had a tremendous takeoff. There is a global crack crisis. Don't forget that all that Machado stuff and everything else happens when the world is on fire with a financial crash and horrible unemployment.
These large companies take advantage of the financial graph to buy cheap. You know that when everyone sells, they lose their jobs, which is what happened here during the housing crisis; everyone started selling whatever they could.
They tried to buy land, and they tried to buy those lands that belonged to the state.
Actually, nobody was using it; it was being used by those peasants who were stuck there like a yuipón. Actually, it was a yuipón because nobody had that title, gentlemen. Batista has the army; he is the head of the army. We're talking about the army of '34 that already had tanks, it had its premature aviation, which were planes and that crap, but it was aviation, it had its army. He was able to sweep away those peasants.
Batista went in person to speak with the leaders and made a pact with them, promising them that those who were going to stay on the land would get land, not blood. Notice the difference. Fidel Castro, along with those who took up arms, imposed a curfew that even resulted in the execution of 341 innocent peasants in 15 days, who were simply outside their homes. They didn't catch him with a gun, a bomb, a sign, or anything. However, Batista, who was the murderer, the tyrant who had to be overthrown, in 1934, having the army, absolute power and the support of the United States, made a pact, arranged things and not a drop of peasant blood was spilled.
Notice the difference between Bol de Churre, the crazy demon, and the little sister and Batista. You know so well that I am not a Batista supporter, you have caused a lot of trouble by pointing out Batista's biggest flaws.
The biggest flaw was leaving Raúl and Fidel alive, but that's in the past, it ca n't be fixed. So, that period of crisis, for me and for many others, served the Communist Party well, and César René has made that very clear in his book and in his appearances with you, that the Sierra Maestra then became an emporium of the Communist Party.
So much so that the Sierra Maestra, the Sierra Maestra region, had a representative in the House of Representatives in the Capitol of Havana and he was a communist; it always had a communist representative in the House of Representatives in the Capitol of Havana.
That area is already populated, in the middle of the Sierra Maestra up there. It was always an empire, and that's why it's no coincidence that Fidel Castro landed near Oufria because the great thing was a shipwreck near the Sierra Maestra, and it's no coincidence that Crescencio Pérez, who was a marijuana grower in the area, had to be on good terms with the Communist Party to stay in the area because it was an area politically and police-controlled by the Communist Party.
If marijuana was being grown there, it was because the party allowed it. It was he who sent General Justía Fría, this one who was his muleteer, to save Fidel after the failure of the embarrassment of the joy of Pío, the first combat is that the one who was in front of the soldiers was one of those soldiers who gave the coup with Batista and who at that moment in 56 was a general, that is, a guy who had been a soldier, was a general without having gone to school. He probably had a fourth grade education and was the one who did that dirty thing that left those 22 alive who arrived at the Sierra Maestri and started all the misfortune we have in Cuba. If a career general had been in charge, you know that those 22 are just going to be parked because 82 landed, 11 died in the first battle, among them Juan Manuel Márquez, who was the second in command and was also a communist. And you know we've said it here, that Fidel Castro, along with Faustino Pérez and Universo Sánchez, are hiding in a sugarcane field. He did not fight. Fidel was not in that battle that Amedia shouted, " Nobody surrenders here," which was Amedia who shouted, not Che or Camilo.
And Fidel wasn't there. And one day he even said that we said here that when he turned around in the middle of the fight, neither Raúl nor Fidel were there. He says, "Where are the bosses here?"
Fidel was hidden in a sugarcane field for two days, gentlemen, hidden, covered with the straw of the sugarcane with Faustino Pérez and Universó, General Justía, Guillermo García. That 's the story. And why are they going to the Sierra Maestra? Because Fidel was a man of the Communist Party and the Communist Party was going to protect him. Have you ever wondered how Herbert Mati managed to get to where Fidel was when there were only a handful of people and the army and the police? No, look at all the things that happen.
It was said that when the Moncada barracks were attacked, the top brass with the rock and all were in Santiago de Cuba. Gentlemen, it's obvious that Fidel, from the moment he came into power, was being controlled by Stalin's Communist Party. Tell me. No no. Hey, remember we have to start from the back.
Yes, yes. No, but look, this is important because of this "realengo 18" thing, look, the leader of that movement of the Guajiros was a certain Lino Álvarez who organized that slogan of "Tierra Sangre" (Blood Land).
Now you asked if the Communist Party of the 25th was founded by Baliño, by Fabio Grobar and by Mella in Vedado on seventh street in a vacant lot by the little tree that was on the causeway and Leo told me, on the causeway, well, it was seventh street, it was the causeway there. That part there is Calzada where you know that the street, Calzada and Línea go up, and when they get to L, that's already 17, but in that place, Calzada is 7th Street, the studio theater says that's where the studio theater is, which is where the Carmelo de Calzada was and where the Amadeo Rodán was, the theater on Calzada Street.
Well, and I want to point out a correction. The Italian Communist Party was founded in 2121 and confirmed in the city of Livorno, Tuscany. Go ahead, Martin. Incidentally, during these years the United States party was also founded, which was called The Walker Party, United States, that is, the workers' party.
Look, so we're clear on that law now. And look, in that movement, and I'm going to talk a little bit about him too because he's a person who did a lot of damage in Cuba even though he died early.
Pablo de la Torriente Brau was involved in that movement of earth or blood. Pablo de la Torriente Bravo became known in the fight against Machado and is one of the people who have to leave. When Machado, that's Pablo la Torrente, when Machado starts to give the communists a hard time and remember that Mella is going to Mexico. This man, being a journalist, was a cultured man; he went to the United States and went to New York. And in New York, when the Spanish Civil War began in 1936, he was sent as a war correspondent, just like Hemy Way and Herbert Matthew. But just look at how much this Pablo Torriente Brau was involved in the apparatus in Madrid; you know that one of the biggest battles fought by the Republican side against the communists was in Madrid, in Barcelona, and fundamentally in Catalonia. This man becomes a political commissar, Andrés de of the third battalion in Madrid. The political commissar.
What is it? He's the most communist guy in the battalion. He's the type. And that was Pablo la Torriente Bravo. Pablo la Torriente Bravo died in '35, uh precisely, sorry, '36.
Precisely in December 1936 in the Defense of Madrid, being the political commissar of the third brigade. They didn't give it a battalion, they gave it a brigade in the north. Third Brigade of the Republicans. At that time, the Republicans were not the Republicans of Trump. The Republicans were the communists and the nationalists were Fran's anti-communists. So, that war, by the way, in 3 years cost 300,000 soldiers from both sides, and 200,000 civilians due to executions, violence, and terrorism.
Priests and nuns were killed. I sent you a photo that you couldn't post, showing a nun being taken out of a tomb in a church. Remember that at that time there were still many burials in churches and they lined her up against a wall to shoot her.
The nun already looks mummified. It's a mummy. I don't know, I mean, she didn't lose her flesh, but she's like mummies, and she's still wearing all her nun's clothes, because she has her whole nun's habit still all worn out, because she was buried dead years ago. They took her out to be shot.
Remember that in that war in Spain, the horrors that were committed: nuns were raped, girls were raped in the asylums; the asylums generally had schools and were like a kind of charity orphanage with girls, gentlemen.
They were raping the girls, the little girls. We're talking about 9, 10 years.
And the height of absurdity, which we saw on a program where we showed the photo, they were showing firing squads, that is, firing squads of seven shooting at the sky to execute God. So, if God doesn't exist, how can you execute him? Those are the stupid things, the extremes that communists do. Firing squads to shoot God and they were shooting into the clouds.
All those things were done. Look, communism there was made up of the Popular Front, which was the one from Russia, openly from Russia, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, which is the one Sánchez has today, the communist republican left, as it was called, and the PAUM with MP, which was the Marxist-Leninist party, but not Stalinist, it did n't have Stalin's support, which we'll see later, the first party that was dissolved, we'll get into that now, it didn't have Lenin's support, that's why that party dissolved and in '25 the one created by Fabio Robard, uh, Baliño, Mella and all that. So, having said that, the Realengo 18 thing is clear now, I imagine you want to go into more detail. There is a lot of data, there are many books, there are even books in English about that realeng 18 thing. Look, the first communists in Cuba. Let's dive right into the topic. Look, in 1919, 1919, 2 years after Len's takeover of power on the 17th, the socialist group was created in Havana.
That socialist association is a creation of Len's Third International.
Yes. That is, that socialist group of the 19th is indeed a child born in Cuba of Leni's ideology, of the Third International.
Now, that same year they integrated veteran fighters. That's where Carlos Baliños López comes in. Carlos Baliños López had been a Mambi, Mambi had met Martí, but that doesn't mean that Martí thought the same as him. Carlos Baliño was just one of the guys, and maybe the friendship didn't reach the level of what he knew. It doesn't mean they were together, that they were going out for drinks, that they were going out with their girlfriends, that they were going to the movies. No, she didn't know him. Spot.
Martí was always out and about, it was n't like they were going to Copelia or anything.
So, look, Carlos Baliño makes a big deal about it because he is one of the few who had known Martí who had been part of the Cuban Revolutionary Party, that is, he was one of the founders with Martí. Yes, he was part of the group that made up the Cuban revolutionary party and was also a tobacco worker.
And he was a tobacconist, by the way. His father was an architect, just like Rodríguez Florid, and he was studying architecture, so he didn't come from a poor background. He becomes a tobacco worker because he didn't finish anything he studied. Look, he started studying architecture just like his father left and abandoned her. He began to study painting. Did you know that architecture and painting both have something of art in them? An architect has to do drawing, has to do design; it's not just about art, although it is a science, it has a lot of math and that, but it also has to have an artistic side to be an architect. And he never finished anything he started, that's why he ended up as a tobacco worker, because in reality he learned everything and was a master of nothing. His vocation was to be a communist and a revolutionary, like almost all of these people, but he wasn't as lazy as Mar and that, because at least he worked steadily, nor like Fidel, because the characteristic of these people is that what they like is to be revolutionary, rebellious, to get to power and wealth, but not to work.
At least this cow did some work. Now, look at who was involved in that, in that first socialist group in Havana. That's just on the rod. Carlos Valño was there, Alejandro Barreiro was there, who was also an intellectual, a socialist leader and was a publicist and organizer by profession, that is, he was a professional organizer, and with him was Marcelo Salinas. I found three names: Carlos Baliño, Alejandro Barreiro, and Marcelo Salina, the first communists.
recognized, that is, a communist and with a position, not outstanding, founder.
That journalist did a lot in terms of propaganda and organization, of course, because that was his job. Supposedly, that was a place for workers and peasants. There was no peasant, it was in Havana. And the workers, rather they always sided with the university students, with the working class.
Now, look at that party, why is it that even though it was done alongside the Third International, at one point in its beginning, anarchists, socialists, and even people with fascist ideas entered.
who saw in that party something very similar to fascism. Remember that fascism was already an idea, but it was Mussolini who put it into practice on a large scale in 1922.
But these fascist ideas were already there in 1919; they did n't have power yet, they hadn't conquered any country, but these ideas were there. Remember that these are the same ideas that ended up in the 1940 Constitution. We've talked about this a thousand times.
So, since that party was already in charge of the silos after 1922, 1923, and 1924, who was the general secretary of the Communist Party of Russia?
Comrade Stalin.
Stalin recalls that Lenin had already suffered three strokes, three cerebral hemorrhages.
He was like a fish on a platform with his eyes wide open, sitting on a wheelie, and Stalin was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
So, he doesn't accept that party that there are anarchists, that there are rebellious people. Because, look, to found a communist party in the style and likeness of the US Communist Party, you had to follow 21 guidelines, which I don't have here, I'm not going to read them because nobody cares what the 21 guidelines were, but if you didn't comply with those 21 guidelines, you were a greenhorn, you were a guy who wasn't Marxist-Leninist, because by 1924 or 1925 it was already Marxist-Leninist, because Lenin was already in the theory.
So, that party you mentioned in the 25th, which also includes Carlos Valiño, Fabio Grobar, who was a Polish man whose real name was Abraham Sinhovich.
And there's a Mexican there, I do n't know if he's related to Karen, who has a last name, uh, his name is Carlos Philips.
Mexico had a lot to do with the founding of the Communist Party in Cuba, because remember that the grandfather of the one who is president, the incompetent one who is president in Mexico, is the granddaughter of one of those communists who went to Cuba to found the Communist Party, who had to go to Mexico going to Machado because Machado gave the communists fire and a jar and a machete and they all had to leave, they even saw Mella, who we are going to talk about here too. So, look, there was Fabio Grobar, who was Abraham Sinovich, that must be his name.
of Fabio Groara in the name of Guerra, as you have said and as Reinet says, almost all of them had names, Alexander, Flavio, Fabio of Roman Generals and those people, but they had. Remember that you don't remember that Hitler, his brigades also had the swastika, but they all had the hall of the Roman Empire. These people, you know, all these totalitarian types who were socialists had Rome as their symbol, I mean, those battalions of Rome and the conquest of Rome as their emblems.
All of Hitler's emblems were reminiscent of the Romans. So, all these people had Roman names too.
Now, look, we already have the genesis of what was the Communist Party, but I want to go back, back to 1919 and we're going to start in 1906.
Look, in that group there is also a black tobacco woman named Inocencia Valdés Fraga, a winemaker, she was born in Wine as Esteban Fernández Roy de Wine, the town of Wine in Havana, a town that had sugar mills, that was the farm of Cuba, it had all kinds of vegetables. It's the first train that... That's Inocencia Valdés Fran. A mulatto tobacco farmer, not poor, not starving, because the family were also tobacco farmers and they went to Tampa and when she was a child, she was in Tampa and in Tampa her house was known as the house of the flag. Imagine a house in Tampa that always had a Cuban flag flying from the ceiling.
If there were any flags in Tampa, they were American, and people didn't even know what the Cuban flag was because Cuba didn't exist as a nation yet in the war of '95, and that house was known in Tampa as the flag house because those people have a flag there, nobody even knows whose flag it was. The Cuban flag of the red triangle with the lone star. Then, she meets Martí and Maseo. Martí and Maseo are frequent visitors to his house. Especially Martí, you know he spent a lot of time in Tampa, he gave those lectures because he was also in New York, but he spent a lot of time in Tampa too.
That girl was called Winnie's girl, you know, she was the first girl.
Remember that afterwards we had the girl from Placeta fighting against Batista and afterwards we had the girl from Escambray fighting against Fidel, who was the same woman, the girl from Placeta. Later she was called the girl from Escambray, who died insane here in Miami. The poor woman lost her daughters.
Well, this girl, this girl who was a Winner girl, went to Tampa with her parents and there in Tampa she became involved with that whole feminist movement that she was starting to see in the United States, that leftist movement, that is, she was leftist, she leaned to the left, besides being a Cuban patriot, that cannot be taken away from her. His family always supported the war in '95. So much so that Martín Maceo was always inside his house.
So, when will she return to Cuba?
Notice, she returns to Cuba in 1917.
Notice, she doesn't return to Cuba when the nation is founded in 1902. Why?
Because he already had his life established in Tampa. She was a tobacco worker, just like her parents. She was married and had three children. But what happens to her in the 17th? that she becomes a widow, loses her husband. At 17 she was a young woman, not a child anymore, but a young woman with three children to support, three sons. So, she goes to Cuba and in Cuba she works as a tobacco worker, that is, the same thing she did in Tampa.
But what does she do for a living, Andrés? Because she was a leftist and she was already involved in all of that. Incidentally, she participates in the second women's conference; she is the only black Cuban woman who participates in what is being done in Havana in those years, and she came from New York. That movement came from the United States, primarily New York, and she is the only black woman participating in that congress. Remember that at that time a black woman participated in a United States congress of feminists who were all white. In other words, she was already a woman who was well-known, she had her political prestige.
She was working in the tobacco industry when she was transferred to the position of tobacconist reader. Andrés, you know that you already made one of the moves where I come from.
You were there, you worked as a tobacco worker.
The tobacconist was the one who chose the reading that was going to be done.
And you know that even though there were many illiterate people, I'm talking about the years 1906, 1917, 1920, there was a lot of illiteracy in Cuba at that time. Still, the tobacco workers were making tobacco at their tables; that's not a job where you're picking and shoveling, moving from one side to the other; you're sitting at a table making the tobacco.
They had a paid position, a very well paid one, which was the reader. He was a person who sat on a high platform, in a high chair, and read her the day's newspapers, the main news, the main newspapers; he would pick up the Marina newspaper, free press, which I know she surely picked up today, if it existed back then, and they would choose the readings. In those readings, they picked up many readings that came from Russia with those European socialist movements. Remember that all of that, Germany was on the verge of falling into the hands of the communists.
You can see that she was not only a leftist, a feminist, and a worker because she was a union leader, but they were already recruiting her if she wasn't already, because there is no proof that she joined the party in those years when the 25th anniversary was founded. There is no proof that she was in that group of founders of the 25th, but by the year 40, when the Constitution of 40 was in place, she was already a militant of the party. Because? Because she is the one Andrés starts working with, since she is a union leader.
With Lázaro Peña, Lázaro Peña had already founded the workers' conference, what was it called, the Cuban workers' conference. And she starts working with him. So that woman died in '52, I mean, I don't know if it was before or after the coup, I'm not sure. I know that Winnie's daughter, Inocencia Valdés Fraga, died in '52, but she didn't get to meet Fidel Castro or all that movement that took place after Moncapian's death. It's strange, you know, I've never heard of her. It's strange that, being a militant of the party with Lázaro Peña, with Baliño, all those people, having known Martía Maceo, these people, the crazy demon, they didn't take her out or even make a bust of her. Hey, do you remember anything about her in Havana? I do n't remember.
No, no, no.
And it was Winnie's. There isn't even a bust of her in Winnie. Well, I asked, and there isn't even a bust of her in Winnie. It seems that the mad demon missed that, that he didn't notice. Then, look at the figure of Carlos Baliño.
Carlos Baliño is the first communist in Cuba. You could almost say yes. That is, it does n't mean he's the only one, but he's the first figure to stand out.
See if that's the case. Carlos Baliño was born in 1848.
Carlos Baliño is from the War of '95, not the War of '68, and he belongs to the Cuban Revolutionary Party of Martí. But Carlos Carlos Baliño enters into what we are going to talk about now, the founding of the first communist party which was in 1906.
Andrés 11 years before Lenin, when it was called Marxist, because it was not called Marxist Leninist, because nobody knew Lenin.
Galderín was still living there in Switzerland, receiving money from his mother because he never worked either.
This man Carlos Valdiño, I already said that he had studied a lot of things, architecture, painting, but he didn't finish anything and ended up working as a tobacco worker. But since he was a person who had studied, he wrote things and made pamphlets, for example, Socialist Truths was one of the pamphlets that were distributed among the workers, they read it to the tobacco workers. socialist truths, that is, giving the advantage of socialism.
He also wrote for the workers' newspaper, La Voz Obrera, in the Socialist Workers' Party.
Look, back when there was no Marxism yet and I didn't even know what the Third International was, there were already a number of movements in Cuba that were socialist because they came from Marx, that is, the ideas of Marx, there was no other. or Fabian ideas, which is where I want to go.
You know that the third Fabian conference was in 1894.
The first one was in 1848 when this gentleman had just been born. And Karl Marx and anarchists participate in that.
Anarchists always clashed with the royal communists, the rigid ones, because the anarchists were anarchists, they were n't very green, they didn't obey all orders. Then, the last one, the third internment, the third conference of the Fabians, which is where the Fabian society was created, 1894 in London, by then Carlos Mar had already died and the first anarchists had died.
There they founded the Labour Party in London in 1902, gentlemen. The Labour Party was the one in power, the guy came out through the roof, they kicked out the prime minister because he's filled London and all of England with Muslims. People are fed up with Muslims. You've seen all the riots happening in England against Muslims voting for them because Muslims go there and don't work. What they're doing is trying to implement the chararía law that you do n't take, that women dress in rags. And that's as far as the English people go. Well, the Labour Party is a communist party created by the Fabians. The thing is, the Fabians are Marxists, but they clash with Marx on how to come to power. We have already done work on what the Fabians are, but there are always new people who are listening to us, especially in Cuba.
The Fabians have the same goal as the communists. What is not the struggle by any other means, is the struggle as it was taken here. An example of a Fabian party is the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party, as you've always said, has been a piece of crap. He was a slave owner in Cucusclán, a segregationist, anti-black, anti-Hispanic, anti-Jewish, and a murderer.
But he took the Fabian path, and Gusal, who was the general secretary of the Communist Party of the United States, said that the last election he ran for was with Angela David as his running mate, no less, the one from Espun, the dark-skinned one from the Black Panthers.
Then the man said that the Democratic Party had openly adopted his communist ideas. That was a guy who had studied at the International Lenin School, Ghost is an American and had studied at the International Lenin School in Moscow, so he was a complete Ñangara. In other words, we have an example of Fabianism in the Labour Party and the Democratic Party of the United States.
Now look at what Fidel Castro Evalino said. That's why I say that you could say he was the first truly communist communist in the Soviet Union, completely subservient to Stalin's policies.
Fidel, I have to read it because I copied it verbatim. Fidel said, Baliño is a symbol of the direct connection between the Cuban Revolutionary Party of José Martín. Notice how he uses the fact that Baliño met Martí to put Martí in the Communist Party's lottery drum.
Baliño is a symbol of the direct connection between the Cuban Revolutionary Party of José Martín, the MVE, and the Cuban Communist Party.
I'm closing the appointment. That's exactly what he said.
Then I repeat, he was a key figure in anti-imperialism. And that's true, because since the founding of all those associations that I read about, anti-imperialism, of course, anti-imperialism was against Yankee imperialism, against Russian imperialism, right?
He says he was a key figure in anti-imperialism and Marxist thought in Cuba. In other words, Fidel acknowledges it because the Soviet Union tells him to, perhaps because he was a man totally devoted to the Soviet Union. that Baliño was the first, the first real communist, Ñangere Guereño.
Then, in 1906, the Socialist Party of Cuba was founded, which was a merger of the Socialist Workers Party and the International Socialist Group.
Remember that in 1906 Lenin was not yet present, not even in the spiritual centers.
Marxism-Leninism did not exist, Lenin did not exist, the KGB did not exist, nothing of Russia existed yet; it was still imperial in 1906, and there was Nicholas I.
Note that there were two parties, the Socialist Workers' Party, as it is called in Spain, and the International Socialist Group.
Notice that their hype is always international, reaching the whole world.
They are not interested in any particular country. They are taking over countries, their goal is to take over the whole world, globalization, globalism.
Then in 1910 Baliño became the president of that party.
Look, he has his signature on its constitution. There were only 27 of them who made up that socialist party, which later you know that the Communist Party in Cuba from the 40s onwards was called the Popular Socialist Party because they did n't want to use the word communism because the word communism still scared a lot of people in the 40s and 50s. Then, in 1910, he became president. Andrés was still called president, he was not secretary and he created a communist section with Antonio Penichet, Marcelo Salina and the uh Mexican American, because he was Mexican but American he had appeared with the name Charles Philips.
His name is Carlos Philip, but he later changed his name to Charles Philip. He changed that name later on different occasions, you know that communists keep changing their names, Fabio Gro was called Simovich?
Now then, Abraham. So, look, Baliño doesn't appear in these first communists, which is already a communist session created in 1919. Lenin is already there. There, indeed, is the communist international, the third communist international.
Baliño then appears in the year 23, on March 18 of the year 23. Look, I jump from the 10 that he was president of that first party before Lenin existed and before Russia was communist.
And the figure of Baliño reappears in 1923, forming a Hebrew section, because he came from Poland, he was supposed to be Jewish, right?, by religion because he was a communist, but he was Jewish by family and he created a secretariat of the Hebrew section within the communists of Havana, which was called A. AH was the Hebrew section of Havana.
That movement fully embraces Lenin's October Revolution and abides by those 21 decrees that the first party refused to abide by. What's wrong, Andrés?
That first party that was formed in 1916, when Baliño was president in 1910, Baliño completely jumped ship in 1919 and created something different to break up that party. That party is disintegrating; it no longer exists. Because?
Because it didn't have the support of the Union of, well, it wasn't the Soviet Union yet.
Well, after 22 it was the Soviet Union. I did not have the support of Lenin and Stalin to speak it in Spanish.
That group, which was called the Communist Group of Havana, is the one that is becoming the backbone, as the program says, of what in the year 25 becomes the founding of the Communist Party in Cuba. Andrés, with whom?
with the help of the Communist Party in the United States, whose leader at the time was Jay Lo Stone.
I'm talking about the year 25, 24 25 because it starts to take shape in 24 and in 25 they meet in that place in the Vado of Seventh Street and that's it.
And then there was Liño, there was Julio Antonio Mella, there were those old Salinas and many of those who came from 1906, but who joined and there was Charles, Carlos Philips, the Mexican.
Remember that I say there, among other Mexicans, comes the grandfather of the current president of Mexico, Chambón, it 's Chambón.
Look, this president or this general secretary of the Walkers Party of America had a lot to do with it, because he took the case of the Cuban Communist Party to the fifth Congress, the Comintern, so that the Comintern, the Comintern is the international session of the Russian Communist Party, would recognize it. Of course, sending Fabio Grobar and sending people from Mexico and sending Charles Philips was already known to be recognized by the US, but J Lobstone is the one who officially took it to the fifth Comintern Congress.
By 1925, Cuba and the United States were already united by the Communist Party. Just look at the power the Communist Party had in Cuba and the United States. Now, Baliño dies in the same year 26, that is, one year later. Remember that he was a man who was born in 1848, he came from the time of Baliño, he died and then that Philips took the name of Manuel Gómez because he pretended to be Cuban. He was no longer called Charles Philips, he was called Manuel Gómez.
And they also founded a Pan-American anti-imperialist league.
They're already leaving Cuba, look, by entering and creating a party in Cuba, they're already starting to mess around in the world, to get involved in Latin America.
They form the Pan-American anti-imperialist league. That's why in Cuba, gentlemen, as I said to all these people, the revolution of '33, remember that in the first stage of the Republic, the presidents were generals and doctors of the Mambí war, but from '33 onwards the first president was the son of Carlos Manuel de Cespo, but they gave him a coup in a few days. Imate tú, he takes Machado, he leaves on August 12, he is appointed in those days, on August 14 or 15 and Batista gives him a coup on September 4, that man was not even a month as president.
And Batista was the strongman from 1933 until 1940 when he became president again; he always remained in power. Remember that the first elections were in '36 when Miguel Gómez's son, José Miguel Gómez, who had been a Mambí general, won. José Miguel Gómez didn't get along with Batista and resigned, leaving Laredo Gru in his place. Those are Batista people.
They are Batista's people. So, that Pan-American International League is holding a congress in Cuba and many representatives from Mexico are attending.
Look, there's a man who tells me, "Hey, Cuba was doomed."
No, that was the event where each delegate from each country brought soil.
from their territory and brotherhood was established.
Correct.
Okay.
There in the fraternity park a ceiva tree is planted next to the Capitol. Next to the Capitol, which is fenced off because supposedly there is land from every country in Latin America. Look, not me, I'd lost that a lot, right? That you are Faro Lu, guide.
What would become of program C?
So, within this story, Mella's rebellion stands out. Mella is starting to leave the program. Now, Martin, there I need because the figure of average to me looks at the figure of Mella does Mella and no and I know that he is a [ __ ] communist, eh, let's be clear.
Yes, but, but, hey, everyone has their own nuances.
Mella was a mulatto, he was a rower, he was a Jeoso. He wasn't an easy guy, he was easy. Do you know the picture that comes up? It's obvious, do n't you have any photos of her in stockings? I didn't send you a photo.
No, you didn't send me any.
Okay, look for the half-photo. It was easy. A guy who could see and had an externocleido. He had an enormous mastoid ectocleid; it looked like a cable.
The photo that shows the rower develops the trapezius muscle a lot, and then they slipped in there, but I don't want to get into the story because they got the Italian woman in, but we'll talk about that later, but I want you to emphasize it a little.
Otherwise, I'm going to tell Mella's story until they kill him.
In Mia's clash with the very party he founded.
Look, remember that Mella and Baliño are the most prominent figures in that first party that was founded there in our neighborhood, although in reality those behind it were communists who came from Europe, because even these people who came from Mexico were Europeans, they were not Mexicans. I had the last name Ch B. That's not Mexican.
Then Mia has the misfortune that Baliño dies in '26.
Baliño, who was a powerful man from Moscow and who had his history coming from the Mambí War, from being the founder of the Cuban Revolutionary Party, from having met Martí, all that history.
Without Baliño Mella, he remains the main figure.
Because? Because at that time, since all of that was founded in Havana, the peasantry had none, even though the Communist Party always says workers and peasants, in reality they were more workers and students, university students like Meya was. Look, Meya was mulatto because his name is not Julio Antonio Meya.
Meya's name is his name. He has an Irish surname.
Irish.
Mfall.
Mcfarlan.
And the other one is where I wrote. His name wasn't Julio, nor was it Mel.
Well, I'll find it here right now. I have it. I know you guys out there.
Uh, he was mulatto because his mother was Irish and his father was Dominican. It was a tiger. Tigerazo. A real gem. A tiger.
So, look when Baliño dies in '26, that's right, in '26.
Nicola McFarlan.
Nicanor Mcfarlan. And what is the other surname? He's Dominican, I think it 's Gomez or something like that.
Damn, I wrote it down here. I write down so many things that I forget where I wrote them down.
Nicanor Marfanla Díaz.
Micanor Mcfarlan Díaz is the name of Julio Antonio Meya. That Julio Antonio Meya thing is his nom de guerre, I imagine. In other words, all communists change their names.
Then he began to see things he didn't like about the party, that it was controlled by the Soviet Union. He himself also saw that there were things that did not fit Cuba, because Cuba already had its industry and its development in the 1920s.
Remember that Cuba had already been doing business with the United States since 1829 in sugarcane, sugar, selling them sugar, tobacco, coffee, cattle, and fruit. So, the misery that existed in the Soviet Union did not exist in Cuba. And there were things that the Russians were very or the Soviets were very closed off about that Medella didn't agree with. And he was a guy who was the voice of the party within the students, fundamentally. He was the one in charge, and what he said was what the university students did, and what the workers did too, because if Baliño died, he was the one who kept the banner. There was another one there too, Francisco Pérez Escudero, who is another of the founders who comes from way back, who also had his relevant role, but there was nobody because, look, Mella had his physique, he had his charisma, he was a guy who talked a lot, everything was in his favor and he was young.
Then Stalin starts to get on his nerves, and you know that anyone who gets on Stalin's nerves never ends up well.
In August of November, on November 27, I told the students, November 27 of the year 27, Machado imprisons him. at CEL and he declares himself on a hunger strike. Yes, but he was already in the process of being expelled from the CCP, the Communist Party, on Stalin's orders.
Definitely the conflicts he had with the Moscow party, with the Comintern, and with the people who might have had problems with Baliño in the end, if Baliño had n't died, but since Baliño did die, he died a friend of May.
I imagine that Baliño, being such a loyal supporter of Moscow, if Moscow had told him, "Vote for him," he would have voted for him. Because you know these people, but well, that's speculation, but he was already dead, was n't he? Until Baliño died, he was a friend and always helped Media and was always trying to shepherd him so that he would not clash with the party, because May was very green, he was a guy who was young, he was charismatic, he was very green and he had the moral authority to complain about the things that didn't fit for Cuba.
So, look at that match between Baliño and Mella, those who are still around and are historic. Let's see if any of these names sound familiar.
José Lived from Escoto, Rubén Martínez Villena, lived from Escoto. It seems to me that Raúl Valdés's family lived there. It could be because he's one of the living. There's Rubén Martínez Villena, who you know died of tuberculosis while serving as the party's general secretary, and who supported Batista in the 1933 coup. The communists were behind Batista in 1933.
There was Salvador de la Plaza.
Gustavo Machado, Jacobo Horwich, that's a Jew.
That Horwich thing is spelled with an H and ends WWWITZ. And there was Carlos Aponte, who is Carlos Aponte? The one who was with Guitera when he was murdered in El Chorrillo, and Carlos Aponte, look, he was a communist from that time, from that era, from the people of Moscow, and it just so happens that he was with Guitera, who was known to be another member of the communist party because he was a big shot, he was a communist, but he clashed with him just like Mella did, and it is known that they threw him out in El Chorrillo. Maybe, maybe they ordered him killed themselves, did n't they? Maybe they didn't send it. How did they know it was going to come out through the neck?
The only one who knew was Ponte, who was with him.
And suddenly, of course, the army kills him, just as we're going to see that the one who supposedly kills Meya is the Machado people, but who gives the tip-off, who killed Humbo 7 Ventura's people. But who gave the whistle? In other words, the Communist Party always stays behind, it's not the one that gets its hands dirty in that case, but it's known that it has 10,100 ballots to make it a snitch.
What a coincidence that I was standing next to him and a guy who is from that founding group of the Communist Party, the people from Media Baliño and all those picket lines.
So, uh, Baliño, by the way, was 78 years old when he died. I was older, I am more... he saw that back then, when Mella got out of jail, he had no choice but to go into exile in Mexico. As the president's grandfather left, as I mean, all the communists that Machado didn't catch and give a machete to, left Cuba. They had nothing, they were trapped, they couldn't stay in Cuba and they had nowhere to hide. The Machado hit him like a May 20th.
Let's go to Mia's death. Look, Mia's death is very controversial.
As always, there's an Italian woman involved.
Well, in this case there are two.
Well, the main one is a Modoti, but then there was a Vorio there who was also from her after they killed Mella, we're going to talk about how Mya goes to Mexico, she goes into exile in Mexico going to Machada.
At that time he became the boyfriend of an Italian-American girl, put the photo there, I sent it to you.
Tina Modotti. Tina Modotti.
A painter, right?
Well, she was a photographer, she was a painter, but one thing, look at her there, she was a real stunner, she was a real stunner.
She, Tina Modotti, look at her face, she made silent films here in the United States. Andrés already worked in silent films in cinema.
Oh, Charle. Oh, Charlie, how wonderful.
Oh, Charliean. Do you remember sending? What was his name?
Armando Calderón.
Armando Calderón. When it was his turn, he put Charlie, the guy played the skin, the guy played in the trunk played by a balloon face and blowtorch.
Hey, so this Tina Moboti who was a model, she was a real stunner, she was a model, uh, she was a painter and she was a silent film actress. It wasn't a big deal, it was, but it made a slow film in American cinema.
She was a photographer when she started as a journalist, right?
Uh, when did the relationship with Meya begin? He was also a tall, strong, good-looking guy, you know, and the two of them fit together. It just so happens that she asks him out to go out together. I don't know if they were going to a restaurant to eat or to sit down for drinks.
And when she is walking with him to the place where he was going, it is not known which one it was, 11 24 say to cufón at the corner of Abraham González.
And what's her name there and Vidali parks a car next to her, it just so happens that she's on the inside side. Well, it's not a coincidence. You know that in Cuba, men still go on the outside and women go on the inside.
You never go around selling the woman out on the outside.
And two.38 caliber bullets ring out.
That much is documented. It was from a car that broke down next to Boquejarro, he shot him twice with a.38 caliber pistol that killed him instantly, and Modoti, since she was inside, ducked down, hid, I don't know what she did, but when it came time to testify she didn't see anything. I couldn't tell what kind of car it was. It was a black car, but he didn't even see the face of the person they shot.
He says, "I imagine the two shots, I hide, I jump."
But he couldn't testify to anything; Andrés didn't see anything, not the car, not the make, not the year, not the license plate, not the people's faces. What a coincidence.
That woman, back when that wasn't known, when that was a photographer, a silent film artist, had been a painter, that is, she was an artist. And she was a tremendous woman. It just so happens that she, dying, is the girlfriend of a man who was known in the Spanish Civil War as Commander Carlos.
In the Spanish Civil War, on the communist side, named Vitorio. I'll tell you the last name now, I have it somewhere. Vitorioque. I do n't remember her name and she goes with Vitorio to the Spanish Civil War, Andrés in 1936.
Victorio Vidali. That's the one, that's the one.
Look, sorry, Vidali is Vitorio's last name and I said the streets Abraham González and Morelo.
It's the address where they killed him. Now I realize I put Vitorio's last name as if it were a street. The corner where Me was killed in Mexico is Abraham González corner. and Morelo. That's not where my friend lived. Car doesn't live there, no.
So that Victorio Vidali is Commander Carlos in the Spanish Civil War. In other words, he pretends to be Spanish or Cuban. You know why Vitorio's name is removed and Carlos is put in as commander. Carlos. Just like Commander Zero and Commander Marcos.
Marcos always changes his name.
Fidel was Alejandro.
So, Tina gets involved in the whole war with that commander, and when the war ends, they all leave because their side loses, right?
The communist side loses.
But what's going on? And this is where the other intrigue lies.
China is not returning to Russia. He's going to Italy, huh?
He returns to Italy, he goes to Mexico.
Ah, he's going to Mexico. Remember that Italy was already engulfed in fascism, and in 1939, the year World War II began. She goes to Mexico, but she disconnects. Look, she was working as a photographer later there in the Spanish Civil War, she acted as one of the main leaders of the International Red Aid.
The International Red Aid was the one that helped the Republican side with food, clothing, medicine, and things like that. It was called International Red Aid. And Tina comes out as a character from the internal comic strip.
She doesn't do all that in one day, Andrés. That's why there are strong suspicions that she was a photographer, that she worked in newspapers, that she was in Mexico, that she had left the United States, because all that stuff about her working in silent films and being a painter and all that in the United States, well, she was Italian or American.
Julia was born in Udine, in the Friuli Venezia area.
She went to the United States when she was 15 or 16 years old and was now a young girl.
But she's not going back to Russia, Andrés; it seems she's one of those people who lose the habit after they've smoked communism. She saw what communism was like in the Spanish Civil War, and I say this for her mother, because when Meya was killed, she went to the Soviet Union. She lives in the Soviet Union and it is from the Soviet Union that she goes to the war in Spain with Vitorio, who was another Ñángaro, who, wait, arrives with the name Commander Carlos de Jefón there to the war.
One of the people openly Stalin.
Look at me, Martin.
Why doesn't he return to the Soviet Union?
No, no, she says she left in a hurry, but look, here I see, uh, here I see that she says Diana Rosa and it's true that she was a friend of Frida and Diego.
Diego Rivera.
Yes, Diego Rivera and Frida Carlos.
But notice that they were communists. But no, look, look, Trotsky was also a very good friend of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and he is also in Mexico.
No, look, no, look where I want to lead you. Already.
They were there and gave refuge in their home to one who was outlawed for coming.
So that makes me think that La Modoti may have participated in the assassination of Mella and after seeing the horrors of war and such things, she backed out. I don't know, it's just a theory, you know?
No, but look, it's not so much a theory because you know how Tin died of a heart attack in a taxi. Uh, in '42 she wasn't old, she was an old woman in '42.
So, how did we know that Gorbachev died?
Nikita Gruchop, Bresne, Andropo, Chennenko from cardiac arrest.
It's the typical death of an agent, the KGB who doesn't want to leave rats. How does it die? Do you remember what happened to those who died from plutonium and what it was like?
Then Tina goes in a taxi and dies in the taxi, her heart stops in the taxi?
She took a taxi because she felt good.
It is the taxi driver who kills her because possibly the taxi driver got out, shook her hand or something. Maybe he injected her with something, injected her with something and put her inside the taxi because she hails a taxi, the story is unknown. When the police arrive, she is dead inside the taxi and the taxi driver knows nothing. A taxi driver and she was in the back. I rented it. Who's to say the taxi driver wasn't the one who killed her?
Because a cardiac arrest can be induced with an injection, a prick with bandages. The same thing that the savages used to cause death by cardiac arrest. And in the year 42, what autopsy?
You know, they did that to Tina, there's no autopsy report or anything. Officially it appears as cardiac arrest and there is no forensic report or anything like that.
So, take a chance that she, by getting involved with Caro, with Rivera, fell for Trocky and who knows what else, and she didn't want to come back. They told him, "Hey, you have to turn towards the Soviet Union." He's done with that, I'm staying in Mexico.
Oh ok.
You don't want to turn around so that Trosqu doesn't get killed in Mexico.
Yes, of course, of course.
So, in Mexico, the CB was full of people. Well, it is, it was, and it is full of security.
Where did the madman go to prepare the Granma for Mexico? Because?
César said so. César Vidas, for God's sake, César Reinel, 1 time that the people from Venezuelan oil, uh Mexican oil, Mexican oil, were the ones who fixed his yacht, who fixed his engine, they refurbished the Granma yacht, he lived in safe houses of the Mexican Communist Party. In other words, it's clear that Mexico was always an enclave of the Soviet Communist Party. Always, always.
So this photographer can be said with almost certainty that at the moment Meya was killed, she was the one who summoned him to that corner.
like the assassins, assuming they are from Machado, because it is possible that the hitmen were from Machado, because Machado had people in Mexico hunting these people. It's possible, I'm not saying it isn't, but how did they know it was going to be on the corner of Frage Neptune? It just so happens that the person who quotes him there is there.
So there are 40,000 ballots for Tina to go and as soon as she gets rid of half, she ties with that Vitorio guy who is a commander who commands the Soviet Union being Italian in the Spanish Civil War.
So, to sum it all up, in Cuba, as in all countries, there was always a communist seed long before Leni.
Because? Because Karl Marx's theory of communism had followers.
Before Lenin, the Fabian Society was created in 1898; they were communists, but they had a different way of coming to power; it was simply a different way of creating the labor party. That Labour Party was created in London in 19023 and in 1906 it was already founded in Cuba. In other words, we don't have to wait for Stalin to arrive, or for the Third International to exist, because there was already a communist party called the Fabian Society, which had intellectuals and had already created a labor party in London that was communist, like the Democratic Party here, Fabian communist, Fabian socialist, Fabian fascist, whatever you want to call it, because the word communism, communism never existed.
What did exist was the left, the totalitarian crap, because they are all totalitarian. Totalitarianism is fascism, it's Nazism, it's communism, and there were anarchists who were people who were against all governments and no government liked them. The anarchist is a type that doesn't suit anyone.
But those people were eliminated from all those matches. The anarchists were eliminated, as were the social democrats and the left-wing socialists. All those people were eliminated. Sa that in Russia they staged a coup against Kerens and all those people who had removed the salt and were leading Russia down the right path.
Even Lenin, as we have discussed a thousand times, after the failure of the first five-year plan on the 21st, realized that communism, on the path it was taking, was not viable. He wanted to bring back the capitalists who had helped him come to power to take charge of agriculture and industry. In other words, he was going to capitalize on Russia in order to bring it to communism, because according to them, and that's not why Cuba was condemned to that, they had to take a country that was already prosperous. That's why they didn't get involved in Haiti or anything else. They went into countries that already had the means to start because socialism, communism, fascism, Marxism, ELNism, whatever you want to call it, does not create wealth. What it does is exploit the existing wealth until it explodes, like in Cuba, until it runs out. Until it ends.
That's what the Tch said. Tet said, " Communism or socialism works until the money runs out." That's why Cuba was doomed, because it was a prosperous country, a developing country, a country that had money, that had a currency on par with the dollar. It's not that Cuba was condemned, it's that Cuba was also one of the seeds that were thrown and germinated in Cuba, but they didn't just throw seeds. They threw them at you there in Mexico, in the United States. See the United States everywhere now.
So, look, there's nothing here that can't be verified because these events are already historical.
There are many things that have come to light since the Soviet Union fell and the files were opened. Look, I remember that the father of Iliana Ros Letin, the one who was a congresswoman here in Miami, who died, was writing a book, I don't know if he finished it, and he was one of those who went with people from here in the United States, because he was the father of a congresswoman, he had access to the Library of Congress and he was investigating and he was one of those who went to Russia with delegations that went to Russia to see the documents. at the time that they had been declassified by the KGB, Liana R.'s father. And in that book that he was writing about her, which I don't know if he finished or not, I did see an interview that he gave on television in which he had seen that among the files that were declassified and that later Putin closed everything when he had seen a check from February 1959 for $8,000 from the KGB to Fidel Castro. In other words, the KGB didn't document everything; these people didn't let anything surface because they would later use it for blackmail.
Fidel receives an $8,000 check from the KGB in February 1959.
What does that tell you?
The guy was making money while he was in the mountains. Rus. Of course, remember that when Carlos Rafael Rodríguez went up to the mountains, and Osvaldo Sánchez and other communists went up with him, remember that it was said here that all the fronts, remember the first front that was Fidel Castro's, the second front that was Raul Castro's, the third front that was middle, they opened a fourth front that was here, there was a front in Camahwey, in each of those fronts an old communist went up.
Carlos Rafael was there, Eduardo Sánchez was there, Oldoki was there, who's going to the Cambray mountain range?
Torre, the little one, that is, all those fronts had an old communist watching over them.
So, don't be surprised by you. Hey, he could, he made the photocopy for $8,000 for Fidel Cat in February and he's dying over it. I don't know if he finished that book or not. I'd like to know because he was going to get the check in the book, he could get a copy, I mean, when he got that when he was in Jersey, he opened the whole pennant.
You took the pill, she takes the pill.
Hey, we don't have to relive that.
I'm going to the next show at 9 because there are people who couldn't see it.
Taking the pill live.
This is a historical musical program.
Okay. Okay.
So, look, speaking of music, you know I'm also understanding a song like crazy.
Oh no, no, no.
Leave that alone, Martin.
Clear. It is with music, as we are sleepless, we are bitongos.
Oh, my mother.
It's a more cultured, more classical music, more esteemed, more esteemed back.
Sebastian, not bow, but Sebastian Bach.
Oh, my mother. And it sounds something like this.
Look, so that Ariel the crazy one can put on some music for me. He says, "This is focus, that's what it is. We don't throw balls here, we throw strikes. Hey, this is focus, that's what it is. We don't throw balls here, we throw strikes. Hey, with that, what do you think?
Go for it.
That has a chamber music accompaniment with congas, cowbell, and widu.
Focus, that's what it is here. We don't throw balls, we throw strikes.
Hey, give it a hard time so it suffers.
Oh my god, what a thing.
And Alexa too. Alexa. Hey, Alexa dropped a rock in there that I'm going to send you. She dropped a tremendous rock and roll in there.
Yes, no, she already sent it to me. She already sent it to me. I want to know if she sent the rock one.
Yes, I want to know if I can put it here because of course she says yes.
No, because if she's presenting her program and I can't put it.
No, she's not getting paid anything for that.
Hey, if it's the presentation of a program, I can't put it even if she isn't because, uh, YouTube It has its automatic system that detects me.
Ah, I don't know, we have to ask her, but it's a song she composed and performed there with a voice, right? I saw it, I liked it, I liked it, but I do n't know, I don't know if that's the scientific, technical part.
Oh, my God. Okay, Martin. Let's go.
Well, you didn't like the classical music then.
No, no.
Then she also plays "Frying Pan."
Look, let's leave that there, Martin. Uh, well, then, well, I love you all very much, until next time, and let's see, uh, you already know where this is going.
Uh, Cuba was penetrated by international communism before Lenin, but that was Mexico, the United States too, Italy.
Communism is expansive, it's invasive, it's like Muslims invade.
Yes. Okay. Alexa says I'm right. Look, you see, it seems she puts it on her show. If they put it on, if she puts it on her show, even though she doesn't assert her right, at the same time that I... I put it on, they demonetize me. Look, they demonetized me because of Yayavo.
Oh, yeah, Yayao, I knew it. They demonetized Friday's show for putting Yayomi on. What the hell do I care?
Well, look, I don't charge anything for that, for this little bit of focus, there's no problem with me.
Oh, my God. Well, okay, Martín.
Uh, well, blessings, I love you all very much.
See you on Monday.
I hope you liked the show.
Yes, yes. Uh, folks, if you liked today's show, if you liked this strange foray we 've made to point out the first incursions of communism in Cuba, even before Fabio, Fabio Grobar. If you liked the focus, if you liked the information, please subscribe. Subscribe and share.
I'm increasing, albeit slowly, the rate of subscriptions, but it 's still very slow. The ratings are increasing. I have more views, but it 's still too slow. I started to make clips with interesting snippets from the shows we broadcast every day. This is supposed to increase the number of other people who subscribe, because as you know, yes, YouTube, I don't know if it 's communist, but I think they're worse.
Okay.
So, okay, Paulino, Paulino Pereda. Okay, thank you very much, Paulino.
So now what I need to do is perfect this clip technique a bit because I'm just starting out like this, but the clip has a photo, it has a title, it has the... I learned to make the clip this afternoon, so... but I've already put two on Facebook, one of Juan Antonio Blanco and another of Sebastiana, right? And another of Pepe Cohen. I'm going to put one of Sebastián Arco tomorrow morning, it's already scheduled. And little by little I'm going to start posting these videos.
When you see them, pass them on.
Share them, share them, as we say in Havana, pass them on because that way people, you know that... The attention span is extremely low, not because we're abnormal, but because that's just how human attention is. So it's harder to watch a one-hour or two-hour program than a one-minute or five-minute one. Well, once you've watched a five-minute program and signed up, you're already hooked, you're already engaged.
So, well, let's see what happens. I think that in a week, two weeks, I'll be posting those videos like crazy. So, well, so you know, and don't wait for the videos to be perfect.
When you see it, post it on your social media or WhatsApp, send it to half the world. Post the short video, those clips, post them and that way we'll hook more people into becoming students in the classroom. Okay, folks, tomorrow I'm going to talk about nothing less than the power struggles behind the walls of Cremley. But not now, not with Putin, not in the times of Brezhnev, Stalin, and Nikita. We'll see.
What was happening with Lenin? What was happening behind the Kremlin walls?
So, the power struggles in the USSR.
Because if I say "in the past," then maybe some people think it's now, which is certainly also the case with power struggles, but we're going to talk specifically about the Soviet period, that is, up to Mikhail Gorbachev.
And why? Because there are two or three figures—I might be wrong—but the list doesn't quite add up. Let's see if our guest, Leonardo Calvo, can bring a little peace to this poor sinner who can't find solace in conventional answers.
Okay.
Well, folks, remember, tomorrow at 9:00 sharp we'll be here, and we're going to see what was happening during the power struggles in the Soviet Union.
I'm Andrés Alburquerque.
This is our space, and we never give up.
