“The philosophy and moral of imperialism is the philosophy and moral of corruption, selfishness and individualism; and such are the powerful weapons it uses for its ideological struggle against the Revolution.”
“We should never trust imperialism because it is treacherous and capable of anything. It tortures in Guantanamo; it tortures in the Iraqi prisons and in the special centers set up in former socialist countries; it uses white phosphorous, and then it claims that “it is the most innocent and legitimate weapon.”
“A great number of the cleverest minds in the world are uprooted from their original countries and placed at the service of the system. It is a parasitical and plundering empire.”
“We are going to set up a system of collective surveillance. We are going to set up a system of collective revolutionary surveillance! (…) so that they can see that when the masses organize, there is no imperialist, no imperialist lackey, no person sold out to the imperialists, no instrument of the imperialists that can make a move.”
“The United States government is using unimaginable economic means to defend a right that violates the sovereignty of all the other countries: to keep on buying raw materials, energy, advanced technology industries, the most productive lands and the most modern buildings on the face of our planet with paper money.”
“I think the imperialists have a lot to learn about the significance of such a social force as this. Lenin said that a Revolution was worth its name when it could defend itself. The truth is our Revolution has shown that it can defend itself. And it does so with powerful instruments.”
"The prestige of the imperial policy will so crumble that not even its dust will remain. We will systematically denounce and demolish one by one, its hypocrisy and lies. They obviously have absolutely no idea what kinds of people have been forged in these 40 years of Revolution."
"Imperialism is the one that needs weapons, since it is bereft of ideas. In order to maintain this opprobrious system as well as all those situations that have been described here, it needs weapons; it has to maintain all those situations by resorting to the use of force".
“ [...] The empire acquired a large part of the world’s wealth with paper, imposing their United States laws there, scorning the sovereignty of nations.”
“…Solidarity among individuals is inseparable from the solidarity among peoples, just as capitalist egoism is inseparable from individualism, nationalism, imperialist ambitions and the wars of aggression and depredation.”
