The Revolution Must Keep Making Revolutionaries: Fidel Castro and the Fight Against Becoming a Monument

On the centenary of Fidel Castro's birth, his autobiography, My Life, acts as a provocative lens into the complexities of revolution. It dismantles the myth of the born revolutionary, showcasing instead how context, struggle, and learning forge warriors for change.

While intelligent manufacturing holds the potential for collective liberation, unchallenged monopoly control risks deepening exploitation. The future demands that humanity wrests command from corporate hands, reshaping technology for collective progress.
