Though many consider him a despot, tyrant, criminal, and objector of western ideals, this powerful speech clearly defines Fidel Castro as one of the greatest orators of the last century.
In this 3 plus hour speech to the court, Castro clearly defines his movements goals, while not only presenting to the court an almost impeccable speech but also charging the same prosectors and government officials whom accused him of rebellious activity as the true criminals. He then goes on to describe his plan of agrarian reform and to uplift his fellow country men and women from the depths of poverty which Batista has irrevocably tried to keep them under.
In the speech he lists his five revolutionary laws to be achieved:

1)A return of power to amend the Constitution to the masses

2) Transfer over non-mortgageable land to peasants and farmers

3) To give a 30 percent share of large industrial company's profits to workers and employees (because of the rampant usurpation of sugar mills for the last century)

4) To allow the sugar planters to share in 55 percent of their toil,

5) And the forfeiture of all illegal seizures from corporations be it land or finance

(in the speech he goes over the laws much better and clearer than i do)

Sadly this beautifully choreographed speech is not very known to main stream America, and neither is Castro's eloquent speaking ability. Maybe its the language barrier? Or maybe main stream America's lethargic view of the rest of the world?
That aside, to understand Cuban-American relations post 1959 and even more so American relations to a country that does not accord with its ideals, one should def read this speech.
