Cuba’s victory in the Bay of Pigs invasion.
The first time I saw a tank was on the streets of Sancti Spíritus, the city in the center of the island where I was born. It was April 1975, and with the fall of Saigon, Vietnam’s victory was being celebrated after nearly 20 years of U.S. aggression. My child’s eyes do not remember that World War II steel behemoth as a threat, but rather as an early lesson that, in Cuba, even the triumphs and sorrows of other peoples are also experienced as a warning.

El 24 de marzo de 1976 impuso un antes y un después en la historia argentina. Fue la fecha en que, para cambiar el patrón de acumulación de riqueza a favor del capitalismo financiero, un gobierno de facto impuso el terrorismo de estado en todo el territorio argentino.
