NOTA AL PERSONAL:
me piden varios lectores que incluya el alzamiento de cienfuegos 1957 y las batallas de santa clara y yaguajay 1958.
the urban violence throughout cuban history is separated from the peasant skirmishes which fall within the folk of banditry and looting dressed as social vindication. many times the rising in arms was about to set a camp, killing a cow, eat it and rape a couple of guajiras. the mambises had problem with that; also the rebels of fidel and the bands of escambray before and after 59. the urban revolt is which demonstrates the indomitable spirit of the cuban. ignoring the maritime and aereal military expeditions which always were equiped and financed from the abroad, in the last 60 years, to implement from the date that batista get perched on the top of the national pyramid, the urban violence brings the following resume: 4 assaults to urban governmental establishments (santiago and bayamo barracks 1953 and matanza's 1956, plus havana presidential palace 1957). 1 private precincts taken (radio reloj station 1957). 1 major public riot of 3,000 people (maleconazo 1994). 1 massive ocuppation of an embassy (10,000 asylum seekers, peru's 1980). and now in 2012, we have finished pathetically with 1 church stormed (basilica our lady of charity in havana) with fasts of avocados and 30-hours arrest narrated as homero's odyssey. seen so, we are turning into a generation of pendejos, shameless and brazen. we are denigrating itself.©varela
