HISPANIDAD

Movement initiated by Ramiro de Maetzu, which was very popular in the Spain of the 1940s.  It lamented that Anglo-Saxon values had supplanted Spanish cultural domination of the New World and claimed that a lack of social reform had frustrated Latin American independence.  It called for closer identity among the Latin American nations as well as with the new nationalist Spain, which the Civil War had freed from both Marxism-Leninism and Anglo-Saxon materialism.  Liberal democracy was derided as decadent and the supremacy of spiritual over material values hailed.  Hispanidad was widely acclaimed in Cuba, particularly by exiled Spanish intellectuals.  As a student at Havana’s Belén Jesuit School, Fidel Castro seems to have been greatly influenced by the ideas of Hispanidad, and by several of his teachers who discussed the movement and taught its philosophy at the school.

    Deja mucho por saber esta nota sobre la Hispanidad.
    ¿Quienes fueron los intelectuales españoles exiliados en Cuba que abrazaron la hispanidad?
    Por otra parte siempre he percibido a Fidel Castro como un doble agente secreto al servicio de los curas jesuitas y de la CIA.
    Los agentes secretos no tienen ideas propias. Estos, solo tienen las ideas de quienes los manejan y dirigen.
    Pero, al final, Fidel Castro fue puesto en el poder cubano, por sus manejadores antes mencionados y no solo destruyó la hispanidad sino que destruyó a Cuba como estado-nación. La destrucción de Cuba, ese era en realidad el objetivo de quienes impusieron a los Castro, el castrismo y sus pandilleros en el poder. Destruir a Cuba como estado-nación.
