Fidel Castro on Armed Struggle

Today, 70 years ago, the first bullet of the Cuban Revolution was fired in the assault on the Moncada Barracks led by Fidel Castro against the US-backed Fulgencio Batista dictatorship. The attack, aimed at capturing weapons, backfired, and most of the revolutionaries were killed or arrested, including Castro. The symbolic and daring action gave birth to the later guerrilla organization that carried the date of the attack on the barracks in its name, Movimiento 26 de Julio (26th of July Movement) better known as M-26-7. Watch this interview of Fidel Castro arguing that armed struggle was “the only path to liberation“ for “the vast majority of Latin American countries“. #FidelCastro #Cuba #CheGuevara
