ABSTRACT
It is the specter of the Organization of Latin American Solidarity, and this specter is causing insomnia among the reactionaries, imperialists, henchmen, gorilas, and exploiters. In fact, however, the Fidelista specter seems to be more haunting and daunting to the communists of the Western world. The break with the old-line communist parties, as well as the commitment to a concept of permanent revolution, was demanded by the dynamics of Cuban society — and by the original ideals of the Cuban Revolution. After the July 26th Movement had crushed the forces of Batista, the new regime quickly became committed to Marxism-Leninism and to Soviet patronage. The revolution in the revolution is also meant to describe the revolutionizing of party organization, for in Cuba the traditional communist order of priorities has been transformed. Castro's unconventional view of time and age has led him to other revisions farther and farther from the Marxist-Leninist doctrines.
