Defeatism is like a disease and you are running around without a mask intentionally spreading the disease instead of getting treatment. Instead of making statements about how hopeless things are, ask questions so that your comrades can help you see that they aren't hopeless. We all know things are rough in Cuba. Deciding that they are going to "capitulate" before they do, is just you making excuses to give up on them yourself.
Venezuela did not "capitulate" they made a strategic retreat against a much more powerful foe. that is a win. What has usa really gained in Venezuela? Nothing. They get to decide where their oil goes and how the money is spent but that is better than not getting to sell oil at all. But here you are saying that they betrayed the revolution. No you are betraying the revolution in Venezuela.
Your expectations are not facts they are fears, feelings. Fear is only useful when it is at the service of your rational mind. Fear exists to draw your attention to danger. Once the danger has been identified you need to rationally choose a course that removes the danger. If you do not filter your fear thorugh rational materialist analysis you are doing what an animal does. Native americans use to use fear to get entire herds of buffalo to jump off a cliff to their death. You are doing exactly what the imperialists want you to do.
Cuba doesn't have anything usa wants. All it has is something usa fears and wants to destroy. Cuba would love to negotiate a deal with usa and I would support that but there is no "capitulation" to be had. Just like how Venezuela didn't capitulate Cuba will not either. They may make strategic retreats on some issues but no negotiations could ever defeat the revolution because Socialism is the bedrock of the culture Cuba.
Nothing short of genocide could get usa what it wants from Cuba. Because all usa wants is the end of communism. usa hates Cuba and Communism because it's existence makes the contradictions of capitalism obvious. The more they try to destroy Cuba for no material reasons the more attention it brings to the ideological reasons.
So even the worst case scenario can be used to further the liberation of mankind. Go make it happen instead of making up excuses.
