Socialist revolutions occur frequently in imperfect situations. Amongst 3rd world workers the need to create a socialist society is often more apparent than in the 1st world, yet when Marx raised the possibility of socialist revolution he fore sore it happening first in advanced capitalist countries. How does this translate to revolutions isolated by capitalism? There cannot be socialism in one country, yet at the same time socialist governments have to preserve their revolutionary ideals in practice, while waiting for and facilitating revolutionary struggles in other countries. Find out how Cuba's socialist revolution is navigating against a sea of capitalism, trying to move forward whilst attempting not to fall into the pit of capitalism that countries like China have fallen into.
