Che Guevara on Cuba's Economy and the Power of Marxism

📺 The video is an interview with Comandante Che Guevara.

📈 Contrary to the claim that the Cuban economy has deteriorated, the industrial production has increased by 7% annually.

🌾 While there have been some problems in the agricultural sector, there have been partial successes, such as the cultivation of cotton in Cuba.

🌱 Despite facing challenges such as weak sugar production and a recent cyclone, the overall industrial production in Cuba has been steadily increasing.

🚫 The impact of the blockade on Cuba's economy cannot be quantified precisely, but it has both negative and positive aspects.

📉 Sugar production has been lower than in previous years, but there are expectations of a higher yield in the future.

🇨🇺 Cuba faced challenges in developing their national consciousness and fighting for their rights.

🏭 Cuba received machinery from the US, but it was often outdated and no longer in production.

💪 Despite the difficulties, Cuba made extraordinary efforts to overcome the challenges and learn from the experience.

🇺🇸📉 Cuba used to have the United States as its main import and export partner, but now it is the Soviet Union.
