MAYBE...MAYBE NOT!!
Every now and then in May of 2023 a tourist anxious to spend money in Cuba actually arrives in Cuba lured by the island's legendary beauty as well as its unique and historical intrigue, its fine-turned 1950s-era convertible cars, its world-class beaches, etc. But tourism in Cuba is rare...because the U. S. Embargo/Blockade for the past six decades, since 1962, is designed to starve Cuba's economy, which includes stifling Tourism!
Today on May 5th of 2023 even the London-based worldwide Reuters News Agency, normally one of the world's few media sources that reports fairly and accurately about Cuba, seems to be predicting the demise of Revolutionary Cuba. The Reuters headlines/captions/articles/photos today -- May 5th, 2023 -- are all about Revolutionary Cuba's impending doom, as shown above.
Meanwhile today -- on May 5th, 2023 -- the Cuban media, as shown above, is using its strong television, print, and social media presence to paint a positive image of today's massive support of the 64-year-old Revolution that shocked the world in 1959 by overthrowing the powerful Batista dictationship that was powerfully and lucratively supported by the world's strongest nation, the U. S., and by the world's strongest criminal organization, the Mafia. In fact, the world since 1959 has been even more SURPRISED that the Revolution has ruled Cuba these last six+ decades!!!!!!! The smiles shown above today -- on May 5th, 2023 -- by Revolutionary supporters seem to be both genuine and hopeful. Perhaps...that means Revolutionary Cuba will survive at least through May 5th of 2023.
While the U. S. and international media claims that Cuba did not celebrate May Day-2023 on May 1st as is customary, it was celebrated today on May 5th, 2023...as loudly and lavishly shown today by Cuba's media. "Trabajadores" means "workers."
Revolutionary icon Raul Castro, who turned 91 back in April, led today's May Day parade on May 5th as he stood beside Cuba's current President and two top Vice Presidents.
But make no mistake about the fact that Cuba in May of 2023 is still Fidel Castro's Cuba, although he died of old age in 2016 at age 90. His Revolution has survived since 1959 because of him...and if it survives the Month of May in 2023 it will also be because of Fidel Castro.
And today's May Day celebration along Havana's famed Malecon tried to prove that Fidel Castro's Cuba will survive the Month of May in 2023.
But regardless of whether or not Revolutionary Cuba survives the month of May in the year of 2023, history must register the fact that the Cuban Revolution in 1959 remains the all-time most shocking revolution in history and also JUST SURVIVING the U. S. EMBARGO since 1962 remains the all-time most amazing thing any Revolution has ever accomplished in the annals of history.
