The survival of Cuba’s socialist project remains one of the most critical holdouts against hemispheric domination, making its defense a global litmus test for sovereignty.
by Isaac Saney
Feb 7, 2026The struggle to defend the Cuban Revolution—to preserve Cuba’s independence, sovereignty, and right to self-determination—is not simply the struggle of a small Caribbean nation resisting a powerful neighbour. Nor is it confined to the geographical contours of an island of eleven million people. It is, rather, a struggle with profound and incalculable consequences for Latin America, the Caribbean, and the global fight for justice, human dignity, and the right of peoples to live free from imperialist diktat.
…Cuba asserted the radical proposition that a small, formerly colonized country could chart its own path, control its own resources, and prioritize social justice over foreign capital. That defiance, more than any specific policy or alliance, has been the enduring “crime” of the Cuban Revolution.
