Aleida in Sweden

[vox_populi]

The Swedish-Cuban Association has invited Aleida Guevara to speak at a lecture in Gothenburg, Sweden. I am a member of the Swedish communist party and will have the honor of meeting her personally. I'll write more about it after the meeting.

Peace Out

[FULL METAL JACKET]

I wish I could meet her. Doubt she will come to New York. But I'd love to go to Sweden :D Keep us updated on the meeting!

Great! I'm planning with a friend of mine to go see her speak at the Åsö gymnasium school in Stockholm. I hope I'll make it. :)

[Hopes_Guevara]

Great! I am really jealous with you! I wish I could. If possible, why won't you give us her lecture?

Try to put it on video if not audio.

I would but don't own a videocamera.. I'll try to get some pics though.
Vox Populi, do you have an opportunity to film it digitally?

[vox_populi]

Nope...I don't own any cameras. But I can try to summarize the lecture. She talked about Cuba and their democracy. She talked about how the U.S.A affects their economy. And about how cool Swedish vikings are ;)

I'll see if i can find the entire speech. And if I can't find it i'll try to do something more detailed.

I think we've all underestimated the potential power of Swedish Vikings in the uprising of the proletariat ;)

I'm sure it was really interesting, I'd love to have seen it but I live in England

The swedish vikings were more like merchants who travelled east, to Russia and the Byzantine Empire; I think you're confucing them with their more violent cousins from Denmark and Norway who haunted the coasts of England among other countries. :)

She's speaks in Stockholm on saturday (the 11th), you'll still make it! ;)

[FULL METAL JACKET]

She liked Vikings because of their medical knowledge.

I just saw her and she rocked my world.. :wub:

I was in a hurry this morning though so I didn't even get my digi camera.. :(

She was so smart, aware and admirable. She told us about, among other things, her work as a doctor in Angola, and the injustice of the US blockade.

She also told us about her last meeting with her father. He was in disguise, leaving for Bolivia, and had already officially said goodbye to the Cuban people. He was not to be recognized by is children, so that they wouldn't tell anyone.

His wife told the children that he was a good friend of their dad's, but even though they didn't recognize him, there had been sort of a contact.

Aleidita had told her mother that "I think that man is in love with me". And this memory makes her remember that her father was a man really capable of love. :)

It was a wonderful event. I must travel to Cuba soon! Viva Aleida Guevara!

[that1guy435]

Out of curiousity, is Aleida March still alive?

[FistFullOfSteel]

It was a great show or what you call it. Nice music tambien.
Aleida talked about the elections in Cuba, el bloqeuo contra Cuba y much more.

Viva la revolucion Cubana para siempre!

[Abood]

Does anyone have a summary of the seminar, or whatever u call it? or the seminar recorded or written down? i'm sure a lot of us in here would appreciate it A LOT!

[Sentinel]

Vox populi is a member of the party, and got to meet her privately I understand. He can make the best report I'm sure. I only listened to her speak..

What got the perhaps most powerful applauses in Stockholm was when Aleida said:

"The United States Army might land on Cuba. But they shouldn't be certain of getting back home alive!" :)

[Abood]

"The United States Army might land on Cuba. But they shouldn't be certain of getting back home alive!"
thts a great quote, im gonna use it everywhere :P its very symoblic, and it means that capitalism can never defeat socialism ;)

"The United States Army might land on Cuba. But they shouldn't be certain of getting back home alive!" smile.gif

Ahhh I love that quote :D

Does anyone know where she will speak next? If you have any info on that please post it here.

Actually my lack of fluent spanish...and her lack of fluent english made a relaxed conversation pretty hard :D
But she seemed to be a really nice person, and had a good scence of humor.
The really great thing about the lecture in Gothenburg was that half the audience spooke spanish and the other half didn't. So when she said something funny the spanish speaking audience started to laugh, and the rest of us sat quiet eagerly waiting for the translation so that we could laugh with them :D
But it was a great lecture!

Didn't she provide her lecture version English to you? At my university, before or in the seminar of a foreign speaker we were got a Vietnamese version of the speech.

[vox_populi]

At the lecture she had a translator with her...but not when we met privately

[Abood]

Can we find online versions of the lecture - written or recorded?

[norwegian commie]

I was at this meeting to, or i mean she was in Norway. And i must say she have inharited her dads talent of speach making. She talked about human rights on Cuba, USA on CUba and the whole shebang. The translator was really bad so that kinda ruined it but she was still great!

The cuba solidarity was highly underestimated and the place was way to small. I had to stand way back, i almost didnt see her but i gotta say, if she had been my age, well need i say moore.(not meaning she was hot, but her politics rocked my world :D :D )
