ABSTRACT
Facing a freeze in Cuban-US relations and slipping state control of the economy, the Cuban Communist Party has slowed moves toward freemarket economics, raised pressure on dissidents and reemphasized its orthodox Marxist rhetoric … In a speech delivered on 30 April 1996 Castro declared that Cuban socialism was stronger than ever. ‘We are so satisfied to be called internationalists, to be called socialists, to be called communists,’ he said.
