More From Steven Soderbergh

From its earliest days, the cuban revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. we admire the sacrifices of the cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orquestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the cuban revolution. long live the cuban revolution. long live comrade fidel castro.
Inspiration Sacrifice Long
The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

Comandante fidel castro loves cuba! but his love for humanity, if you'll pardon the expression, trumped his love for cuba: he was universal; he was an internationalist, and he put that spirit in the hearts and minds of the cuban people through the cuban revolution.

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

Cuba is actually one where i am more optimistic because of the unique nature of cuba - 90 miles off our shore with a massive ex-patriot population, now cuban-american population that still have deep links to the island. there i am more confident that over time that the winds of commerce and telecommunication and travel start shifting the nature of that regime. but that's a small country which has almost a unique relationship to us.
Country Optimistic Unique
They're willing to accept changes on the part of the u.s. that contribute to more money entering cuba so they can benefit. but in terms of political changes on the island, an opening, etc., that won't happen, that won't change, and i've always said that, from the beginning. i've even said that it doesn't matter how many tourists who to cuba, how many times the president visits cuba; there won't be any changes in the cuban government's posture. and that is the same as always.

The social or economic structure of the ideal state is of little concern to me. my desires are modest. portraits of the head of the government should not exceed a postage stamp in size. no torture and no executions. no music, except coming through earphones, or played in theaters. freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of art.

Is the united states going to decide, are the people of this country going to decide that their federal government shall in the future have no right under any implied power or any court-approved power to enter into a solution of a national economic problem, but that that national economic problem must be decided only by the states?... we thought we were solving it, and now it has been thrown right straight in our faces. we have been relegated to the horse-and-buggy definition of interstate commerce.
