Fidel Castro Addresses Cuban University Students

[dipsydoodle]

Havana, Nov 18 (Prensa Latina) The leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, ratified today the ideas he conveyed in a speech he delivered at Havana University''s main lecture hall five years ago this date.

"I must say I was surprised by the validity of the ideas I expressed then, which five years after are more valid than in those days, as many were related to the future, and today's events have been unfolding just like they were foretold," said the iconic leader.

But today -he added- the available knowledge about climate change, the economic crisis that exceeds any previous one, the perils of war, and the drifting of the imperial power towards fascism demand from the university students utmost dedication in the ideological battle.

Fidel Castro addressed the Cuban youth on the International Students Day, and the fifth anniversary of his historic speech at Havana University's main lecture hall on November 17th, 2005.

Could be some of those C.A.N.F. employees.

3. Which ideological battle?

I wonder, they are laying off one million government employees, telling them to become capitalist roaders and work on their own. So what's a university student supposed to think about the ideological battle? Are they supposed to focus on how to start their own business? Become limo drivers? Or what?
