Cooperatives seem poised to multiply, expand their range of activities
and play a critical role in the new Cuban socialist-oriented economic
model that is emerging. Here is Part 4 of my translation of the
booklet Information on the
results of the Debate on the Economic and Social Policy Guidelines for
the Party and the Revolution, an explanatory document that has been
published together with the final version of the Guidelines adopted by
the Cuban Communist Party (PCC) Congress in April.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
On Cooperation
Written: January 4 6, 1923
It seems to me that not enough attention is being paid to the
cooperative movement in our country. Not everyone understands that
now, since the time of the October revolution and quite apart from
NEP (on the contrary, in this connection we must say—because of
NEP), our cooperative movement has become one of great
significance. There is a lot of fantasy in the dreams of the old
cooperators. Often they are ridiculously fantastic. But why are
they fantastic? Because people do not understand the fundamental,
the rock-bottom significance of the working-class political
struggle for the overthrow of the rule of the exploiters. We have
overthrown the rule of the exploiters, and much that was
fantastic, even romantic, even banal in the dreams of the old
cooperators is now becoming unvarnished reality.
