In its latest escalatory move, on July 20 the State Department released a 100-page report titled “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism.” The report compiles historical evidence to show Americans how Cuba has long “served as the beating heart of a new and distinct kind of Marxism, forged around an overriding resentment and fundamental hatred of the United States and the broader West.”

The New Left and ‘Tercermundismo‘

As the report explains very competently, the revolutionary emergence of Fidel Castro’s Cuban regime in 1959 marked the shift from the classical Marxism-Leninism of the Soviet Union to the tercermundismo (“Third Worldism”) of the New Left. Traditional Marxism-Leninism had focused on class conflict between bourgeoisie and proletariat, the inevitable revolutionary uprising of the proletariat in industrialized nations to seize the means of production, and the spreading of transnational communist revolution. The Third Worldism of Castro’s Cuba was a “global revolutionary project” which applied the Marxist ideological paradigm in new ways, incorporating the “colonized nations and peoples of the Global South” into the traditional understanding of oppressed proletariat. As the report summarizes:

Castro, Che Guevara, and the other evangelists of Havana declared that the Third World was united by a single struggle for liberation, and that this struggle extended into the imperial metropoles themselves, to the racially oppressed peoples living within the Western powers … Havana was telling a new story — one that was both more romantic and more radical than its Soviet predecessor. It was a story in which the Black Panther, the Puerto Rican militant, and the anti-war student radical were part of the same global drama as the Cuban Revolutionary, the Algerian insurgent, and the Colombian guerilla.
