The Cuban Revolution stands as one of the most revered revolutions in the history of capitalism. Fidel Castro and Che Guevara began as anti-imperialists and did not initially consider the revolution to be socialist.

However, in the course of the struggle, they realised that the fight against imperialism, if it was to succeed, also had to be a fight against capitalism. With this understanding, they heroically ended capitalism on the island, leading to a long list of gains for Cuban workers.

With the struggle against imperialism taking on renewed importance today, the lessons of the Cuban Revolution should be studied by all those who want to end the barbarism created by imperialism.

In this talk, Keelan Kellegher will draw out the lessons of the Cuban Revolution, explaining the most important conclusions we can take from this inspiring event.

Science, the crisis in cosmology and the big bang

Science, the crisis in cosmology and the big bang

Men and women have looked up at the night sky and speculated about the nature of the universe since prehistoric times. Those speculations were the first groping towards science. But science was bound up with myth; cosmology with cosmogeny; astronomy with astrology. Since the scientific revolution of the 16th century, however, myth has been squeezed in cosmology. But in the last century, a century of capitalist decline, it has made a comeback under the guise of a new Creation myth, the Big Bang. Since the 1990s, this has ossified into the so-called Standard Model. Today, advances in observational astronomy are […]
