"Declassified." The following messages were sent by the British
ambassador in the United States to the British Foreign Office. These telegrams include
conversations held between Allen Dulles, then director of the CIA, in which he suggests a plot to prevent British arms sales to
Cuba, in order to oblige Cuba to obtain arms from the Soviet Union. He ties the events to
what occurred in Guatemala, when the Arbenz government's purchases of arms from the
socialist countries served as a pretext for U.S. military invasion. This declassified
document was presented to the Cuban press by Thomas S. Blanton, director of National
Security Archive affiliated with George Washington University. |

"I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but
we are also fighting against alienation. One of the fundamental objectives of Marxism is
to remove interest, the factor of individual interest, and gain, from people's psychological
motivations. Marx was preoccupied both with economic factors and with their
repercussions on the spirit. If communism isn't interested in this too, it may be a method of
distributing goods, but it will never be a revolutionary way of life." |
