Defending the Cuban Revolution w/ Jorge Martin and Sami Mac Máistir

Rupture Radio

Earlier this month, Cuba witnessed anti-government protests in various towns and cities which in turn sparked large counter-protests to 'Defend the Revolution'. This week we are joined by Jorge Martin of the International Marxist Tendency and Rupture regular Sami Mac Máistir to discuss the nature of the protests, the impact of the blockade of Cuba by US imperialism, and what role socialists outside of Cuba can play.
