José Julián Martí Pérez was born in Cuba in 1853 and died there in 1895, being killed whilst fighting the Spanish colonial forces in the war to liberate Cuba.

The Zapatistas are an indigenous organisation from the Chiapas region of southern Mexico. They are socialist in ideology and provide much needed support and protection for the people of that area. Over the years, the Zapatistas have developed their own unique culture based upon their Mayan heritage. They were obliged to wear balaclavas, ski-masks and […]

This short clip is taken from a speech that the then Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, gave at a meeting of the United Nations. In it he understandably lambastes the Dubya Bush government of the US. Chavez was considered a great man and his death was a great loss to the world.
The Cubans are a solid example of good governance in defiance of the fascist policies of the US Empire. Rebel Voice would suggest that a strong bloc of socialist nations, opposed to US inspired capitalism, should be enough to slow or even stop any further schemes by the Empire.
Viva Cuba!
The continuing economic blockade imposed upon Cuba by the US, is a clear attempt at intimidating and bullying the small Caribbean nation into compliance with the right-wing policies of the US Surplass.
