CP USA, Greetings and an Appreciation of the Cuban Revolution, on the occasion of its 60th anniversary

On January 1, 2019, the Cuban people will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of your revolutionary triumph.  Millions of struggling people around the world, including in our own country, the United States, will celebrate with you...
In spite of all difficulties, Cuba’s revolutionary government played an enormous role in the people’s struggles far beyond its borders.  National liberation movements all over the world were inspired and invigorated by the Cuban example. Above all, the Cuban role, lasting over several decades, in the ending the fascist apartheid regime in South Africa was a gift of the Cuban Revolution not only to the South African people, but to all of Africa and to humanity.
When, at the end of the 1980s, and culminating in 1991, the socialist governments of the USSR and the other Eastern European states collapsed, Cuba was plunged into another dangerous crisis.  By the creative response of the Cuban government, party and people during the “Special Period”, Cuba was able to overcome the new danger.
Cuba’s socialist, revolutionary solidarity with the poor nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America, epitomized by its work in the fields of health care, education and even sports, have continued and expanded in spite of all dangers and challenges from imperialism.  Even in wealthy capitalist countries such as the United States, our struggles for a better life have taken inspiration from the example of the Cuban Revolution and Cuban socialism.
Although many of the great leaders who brought the Revolution to power, including unforgettable figures like Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Vilma Espín and many others, have now passed from the scene and into history, their living monument, and that of the Cuban Revolution, is to be found in the achievements of the Cuban people and in the hearts of struggling people everywhere.

CP of Greece, Message from the KKE on the 60 years of the Cuban Revolution

The KKE sends you its warm comradely greetings on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Cuban Revolution January 1st 1959.

The Cuban revolution, the first socialist revolution of the American continent, just a breath away from the powerful imperialist power, the USA, constituted one of the most significant events that marked the 20th century.

It confirmed the vitality of Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism. It added personalities such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Camilo Cienfuegos, Vilma Espin, Frank Pais and others to the pantheon of the militants of the working class and revolutionary movement. It inspired the struggle of the oppressed and exploited around the world, it answered back to fatalism, to compromise with the capitalist world order.

It created a new type of state, a state of workers and farmers that not only managed to ward off the counter-revolutionary attempts but also laid the foundations for the satisfaction of people's needs, for social rights that could not and cannot even be imagined by the deprived and despised of your continent. It supported the national liberation movements of the peoples selflessly and with sacrifices...

At a time marked by the scars of counter-revolution and the overthrow of socialism in the USSR and other countries where the Communist and revolutionary movement continues to face serious difficulties, under strong pressure from the bourgeois class and opportunism, the Cuban Revolution is one of the milestones that can and must be utilized to defend the history and the contribution of the Communist movement, to strengthen proletarian internationalism, the struggle for socialism.
