Saw videos of Cuba's parade celebrating the victory over the Playa Jiron (Bay of Pigs) invasion and the beginning of the Sixth Congress which is to define the Cuban model of socialism. This model, unlike the USSR's, is meant to be irreversible; the system will not return to capitalism. The parade was IMMENSE. They paraded the Granma which was the yacht that the 26th of July Movement use to reach Cuba from Mexico. During the parade, the yacht was surrounded by children. I cannot imagine the feelings going through the people that were at the parade and on the Granma when it was used to start the Revolutionary War.
