50 Years of Revolution: Fidel Castro Speaks to the Americas in English

In May 2003, ex-Cuban president Fidel Castro was in Argentina to attend the inauguration of the new Argentinian president, Nestor Kirchner. Just two months earlier, the United States had plunged itself into a world of intellectual darkness by pre-emptively and illegally invading Iraq. Against this backdrop, Fidel Castro delivered a 2 1/2 hour speech on the steps of the law school to thousands of Argentinians, yet the footage has the feeling as if he was speaking to the entire continental mass that comprises the Americas.

In these videos, 44 minutes have been excerpted and provided with translation so that people from the English speaking world have the opportunity to form a better criteria by which to judge one of the most historically important Americans(in this sense, someone from either of the Americas) of the 20th and 21st century.

After 50 years of revolution, 47 years of an embargo, hundreds of assassination plots, one failed invasion, and unquantifiable lies and slander by the United States government and American media outlets, the world faces the prospect of a crumbling American empire and a Cuban revolution that will survive it in the context of an increasingly independent and socialist Latin America. The multi-polar world is a reality.

By 2003, the beginnings of change had begun to manifest themselves, as Fidel Castro explains towards the end of his speech. In these 44 minutes, he discusses the Bush doctrine, education, health, immigration, the Cuban electoral system, mass media and communication, and neoliberal globalization. He even touches upon "an international economic crisis."

This is part 2 of 2.

    Bueno, este buen hijo de puta, es un sociopata asesino. Muy picaro, un ganster que se robo a Cuba y a destruido una nacion de 6 millones de habitantes, El solo pensar que va a morir en su cama, me quita el sueño. Amparado por el vecino mas poderoso, hasta la muerte.

    Que suerte la nuestra.......

  • VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

  • que descarado es ete viejo sinverguenza!!!

  • Fidel has been a great leader, but in my opinion the blockade is in favor of the Cubans. The U.S. has commited countless amounts of atroscities against the 'lesser' countries and Cuba does not need any association with the U.S. to taint its purity as a country. In my opinion.

  • Grande Fidel!!!!!

  • @AquariaNetTV También sale en el video, las muertes de en El Salvador. El mismo presidente del El Salvador le reclama a Castro.

  • @AquariaNetTV Estados Unidos estaba 'planeando'? Estimado amigo, "de dicho a hecho hay un trecho". Nada justifica que ellos hayan invadido a china, etc. Estados Unidos no está obligado a negociar con nadie que no quiera negociar Ok. Y disculpa, en ese video dice que a Salvador Allende lo asesinaron los Norte-americanos, por favor, no hables lo que no sabes. A Allende dicen que se suicidó, pero el que lo mató fué un CUBANO porque no queria que se rindiera.

    America no tiene derecho de intervernir en la politica de los paisis, menos forsar su sistema politico, economico a los demas.

    Aserca de Japon..Son asiaticos ?? No son Europeos. Europa tenia sus colonias en Asia, y con los EU, lo bloqiaron todo los recursos materialies, los metales. Eso es lo que llevo a Japon ( Asiaticos ) , a invadir china ( Asiaticos ). Mejor mi tirano que tu tirano..Prefiero un tirano de my tiera/rasa, que la tuya.
