‘Cuba Is the Moral and Political Compass of the World’ (I)

Interview with Cuban Leader Ernesto Limia Díaz (Part 1 of 3) Nov 7, 2025

        Limia acknowledged that this economic crisis is caused, to a large degree, by an intensifying #US economic war aimed at asphyxiating and overthrowing the Cuban Revolution. However, he focused his essay on “the problems that, in my humble opinion, are within our means to solve as soon as possible.”

    Among other important points, he noted that “we cannot ignore that formalizing a private economy presents challenges to the Cuban model. One thing we must be clear about: under socialism the blind laws of the market cannot govern ― or to be precise, the ‘blind’ laws of those seers who control the market. Under socialism the market cannot dictate the trajectory, it must establish a harmonious relationship with the interests of society. Achieving this requires planning, audacity, control, and solidarity education.”
