Socialism by Mykayla Story & Darnesjia Buford





The socialist revolution in Cuba began 45 years ago. There were many things that helped Cuba after the revolution, and it is believed that the leadership from the government is the only reason Cuba survived. Socialism is the theory or system of social organization that advocates for production, distribution, and exchange should be owned by the community as a whole. Despite all the poverty within the Cuban Revolution, Cuba defended the causes of the world from a socialist perspective. Before the revolution, Cuba was a playground where people gambled and wasted all their money, while workers and peasants had rough times. The Cuban economy was controlled by giant American monopolies. The Cuban Revolution was started due to Batista replacing the government with a socialist state. Batista was basically a dictator and more than 20,000 people died because of him. Batista was not able to carry out the tasks of the capitalist democratic revolution. The Russian Revolution demonstrated that the working class was able to lead the nation in completing these tasks, which in turn provided the spark for the beginning of the international socialist revolution.
