The myth of American colonialism

Once again, our president mistakenly blames America, calling us imperialists and saying all Cuba’s woes are the fault of the United States

The myth of American colonialism



Our unconstitutional scholar President took unilateral executive action last week to change our relationship with Cuba.

As Mr. Obama explained it, the US and Cuba are supposedly putting “colonialism and Communism” aside in a new era of improved relations with each other. What?? Cuba is still under Communist control and our country was never a colonial power. In fact, we helped put an end to centuries of Spain’s colonial power in the world. We didn’t take over for Spain as colonizers of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines after the Spanish-American War. The countries freed from Spanish colonialism after the Spanish-American War would all be set on the path of determining their own destinies, and their economies would no longer be hindered by their former colonial restraints.

By the 1950s, Cuba had one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. But corruption under Fulgencio Batista fueled a revolutionary movement that would force him to flee the country. The new government established by Fidel Castro would be recognized by the United States within six days of it being established. But Castro would choose a one-party Communist dictatorship over free and independent elections, and the freedom established in 1899 would come to an end.

At the same time as Communist tyranny was taking hold in Cuba in the 1960s, Marxists gained control in the anti-war movement in the United States and bought in to the lying rhetoric of international Communism that the US was an imperialist power that needed to be opposed. This belief would soon permeate throughout our colleges and universities and become the predominant world view being taught by many professors.

In the mid-1970s, I believed Marxist professors who were teaching that The United States was the new colonial enemy of the Third World and I learned to spout Marxist rhetoric as well as anyone. After a few years I left all that nonsense behind and got back to the conservative beliefs I held to as a teenager.

Foreign student Barack Obama, however, grew up knowing no other worldview than Marxism and un-Christian liberation theology, and as President he has helped make his college brand of Marxism central to the Democrat Party and the executive branch of the federal government. John Kerry, a man who seems to have never heard anti-American propaganda he didn’t agree with, then became America’s voice to the rest of the world as the Secretary of State.

So what better thing to do as a lame-duck President than normalize relations with the Communist dictatorship of Cuba. Of course American Marxists rejoiced at the same time as all freedom loving Cubans expressed betrayal.

Once again, our president mistakenly blames America, calling us imperialists and saying all Cuba’s woes are the fault of the United States. Yet the opposite was true. Once US influence in Cuba ended, the “workers’ paradise” of Cuba actually became a Communist colony of the Soviet Union in the true sense of the word. The Castro regime, by choosing the Communist path, ended a system of free elections that had been going on since Spanish control was ended. And the modern economy that had developed once Spanish colonialism ended came to a halt as the Cuban economy was converted to primarily serve the economic interests of the Soviet colonizers. The Cuban army came to be used primarily to serve the interests of the Soviet aggressors in Angola, Mozambique, Nicaragua, and other places.

Since the ideology of Marxism arose during the time of colonial European powers, Marxists could only define a capitalist superpower as an imperialist in order to oppose it. As the Soviet Union turned Eastern European countries into their colonies, the pattern was established for how they would control other nations as they usurped the independence movements of the former colonies and replaced them with Soviet-controlled regimes. So while countries under US supervision after World War II became wholly independent countries and with thriving economies, Eastern Europe and Cuba essentially became colonies of the Communist Soviet Union, unable to modernize like the rest of the world because of the stranglehold of their new imperialist rulers.

As was the case 50 years ago, the best thing thing that could happen to Cuba is for the Castro dictatorship to end and democracy and a free enterprise economy to be re-established. Yet our administration is doing everything it can to help perpetuate the current regime in Cuba.
