Jose Marti was a classical liberal (this is very much different from those who call themselves liberals these days, who are really Socialists, Marxists, and Progressives), who stood for freedom and democracy. Who stood for limited government. For freedom and liberty for the people. Essentially, everything that the government and system in Cuba is not. He was a key person in Cuba gaining independence from the dominance of Spain.
And, Marti essentially stood in opposition for most things Barack Obama stands for.
Can you give me a cite for “limited government” because I thought that Marti had plans for a rather extensive Cuban I can’t ever remember him stressing the importance of the free market. government much larger than was allowed under Spanish rule. Marti also a very mixed relationship with the USA it was quite concerned about becoming an economic colony of the USA
He was a champion of education having seen how that, financed by taxes, had improved the life of Americans.
Bullshit.Such as?
