ABSTRACT
In the context of the Cold War, the triumph of the Cuban Revolution inspired a more radicalized brand of social protest, unprecedented political movements, as well as uprisings, both rural and urban. The chapter presents the six problems to which one would take immediate steps to resolve, along with the restoration of public liberties and political democracy. The problems include the problems concerning land, the problem of industrialization, the problem of housing, the problem of unemployment, the problem of education and the problem of the health of the people. Representative democracy is the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, who also use the State, and particularly the army, to defend their interests from the oppressed classes. Democratic centralism is not the same as bureaucratic centralism. Democratic centralism does not imply the abandonment of internal democracy; on the contrary, there should be collective internal discussion, but without losing respect for the discipline and directives from higher authorities.
