.....AND COUNTING!!
Somehow...in January of 1959 the Cuban Revolution defeated the U.S.-backed & Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship and then the new leaders of Cuba, as shown above, rode triumphantly into Havana. And, even more amazing, in February of 2023 Revolutionary Cuba is celebrating its 64TH ANIVERSARY.
Although she died of cancer 43 Years AGO, in 1980, Celia Sanchez Manduley remains a prime reason for both the triumph and for the longevity of the Cuban Revoluion. Moreover...she was feisty enough and insightful enough to have famously explained why and how the out-gunned rebels won!!!!!
As a fearless and frontline guerrilla fighter during the Revolution, Celia Sanchez knew precisely why the rebels won their anti-Batista war.
And after the triumph of the Revolution...with the 100% support of Fidel Castro...it was Celia Sanchez who laid down and wrote down the parameters that have sustained the Revolution for all these decades, including after her untimely death from cancer at age 59 on January 11th, 1980. Therefore...let it be known that history registers the definitive Celia Sanchez quotation that explains why and how her Revolution somehow won in 1959 and somehow in 2023 still rules Cuba: "We rebels...get far too much credit for winning the revolution. Our enemies deserve most of the credit, for being greedy cowards and idiots."
For sure, the rebels would not have won the Cuban Revolution in 1959 without the unique determination and brilliance of Celia Sanchez. And, for sure, in February of 2023 Celia Sanchez remains the prime reason that the Revolution, somehow, still controls Cuba. Thus...it is appropriate in February of 2023 that her words still define her pugnacious island nation: "We rebels...get far too much credit for winning the revolution. Our enemies deserve most of the credit, for being greedy cowards and idiots."
