Classic Reveloutionary text.

Important not only as a historical document to be studiously anylized but absolutely nessasery reading for any reveloutionary. This is the speach Castro gave , representing himself since he was a lawyer , after trying to overthrow the oppressive Batista regime in Cuba. Regardless of your politics its importantance shows the nessessity of Ligitimizeing any revolt through clear , legal justifications. Fidel was only 25 telling Batista off , saying do what you will to me , "History will absolve me." Useful blurprint on how to effectively denounce any oppresion.
