But it's so worth it to remember that the revolution has transformed the masses into true servants of the people. Sometimes we focus a teeny bit too much on Fidel and Che (not that they're not very important).
It made me realize how many heroic Cubans there are that are fighting for humanity including many whose names we will never know. Overall this was a SUPER inspirational book and deepened by already tremendous respect for Cuban revolutionaries and the revolution. I do really want people to tune into more African socialists and revolutionaries who are writing and publishing on the African continent today so I encourage folks to check that one out. They don''t have to agree with him but I wish his argument had been acknowledged or engaged with. I know they have to be scientific in how they approach everything including a medical catastrophe like this of course but I do wish they had engaged with local socialists from the region such as Chernoh Alpha Bah who wrote The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa. They dismissed some of the bio-chemical warfare claims in the book as conspiracy theories with a bourgeois origin and ok. I dream of the day we have transformed not just society externally but also ourselves internally the way Cubans have.
THIS is what Fidel Castro meant by the 'New Man.' Soooo inspirational. If heaven exists then it's just a bunch of Cubans up there hanging out alone.
