Moreover, imperialism and the other highly developed capitalist countries have established a world system of exploitation and domination. They support one another financially when any of them has a crisis. The system has been set up to provide mutual support, but who helps out the Third World?
So, there isn't any world-wide political or economic democracy and equality.
In a world in which peace truly reigns, democracy can take more forms of expression in a fair society. In a world in which the world hegemony of the mightiest imperialist power reigns and the people's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence are threatened, democracy won't have many different forms of expression.
And Cuba has found its form of expression of democracy, and they believe that it suits their conditions. Its effectiveness has been shown for more than 40 years, and we think that no country could have stood firm against the blockade, the threats, acts of aggression and the terrible blows of toppling of the socialist camp and the disappearance of the Soviet Union if its people weren't politically aware and united - not split into a thousand parts. Therefore, unity is the main thing here.***
