(JAN/10/2025) Karen Bass and Cuba's Venceremos Brigade:

Controversial history resurfaces amid criticism over L.A. Fire Dept. cuts

History of the Venceremos Brigade

The Venceremos Brigade, founded in 1969, is a U.S.-based organization that has

facilitated trips for Americans to Cuba in defiance of U.S. travel restrictions.

The group was formed by young activists in solidarity with the Marxist-Leninst

Cuban Revolution, aiming to challenge U.S. policies toward Cuba, including

economic sanctions—referred to as the “blockade” in alignment with Fidel Castro’s

rhetoric—and travel bans.

Mayor Karen Bass and the Venceremos Brigade

In the 1970s, Bass participated in the Venceremos Brigade, traveling to Cuba as a

young political activist. She was described as a leader of the group in a 1975

communist publication, according to Politico, although her office has denied she

ever had that role.

In fact, according to a report published by Tablet Magazine, Bass led the

movement's Southern California operations. In fact, an October 1975 edition of the

communist Daily World newspaper described >>>Karen Bass as the “leader of the

Venceremos Brigade in southern California.”

Another Ph.D. dissertation documented her as “a 'brigadista' and then organizer

for the Venceremos Brigades,” saying “Karen visited Cuba every 6 months.”

Bass has stated that her involvement was driven by a desire to build relations

between the American and Cuban people, and she has expressed admiration for

aspects of the Cuban dictatorship social policies.

Barack Obama & Democrats Plan to End the USA

Cloward and Piven advocated a strategy to deliberately overload the welfare system

as a means to create an economic crisis that would force the U.S. government to

implement a guaranteed minimum income for all citizens. Once local governments

went bankrupt keeping up with these new welfare demands, they would be forced to

apply for federal bailouts. Then, under threat of civil unrest, the federal

government would be forced to reform the tax system in such a way as to facilitate

“outright redistribution of income” by introducing socialism.

President Obama attempted to advance Cloward and Piven’s vision in 2012 when he

effectively gutted work requirements for welfare recipients. Federal outlays for

welfare programs increased 67 percent during Obama’s presidency from $430 billion

a year to $720 billion a year. This is why former House Speaker Newt Gingrich

quipped that Obama would be remembered as the “food-stamp president.”

This is called a debt death spiral, and it is exactly what Cloward and Piven

advocated in their article. Once the government is borrowing money to pay the

interest on the money it has already borrowed, it can no longer afford welfare

checks or much of anything else.

Foreign nations will refuse to lend it money, it will resort to printing more

money, and the current rampant inflation will become hyperinflation. At this

point, even Republicans and Libertarians will have to admit that the nation’s only

option is to start a socialist redistribution of wealth via progressive taxations,

or face a Bolshevik uprising inside America!
