Blas Roca Calederio, born on July 22 in 1908, was a Cuban communist revolutionary and radical journalist. Roca helped lead the 1933 general strike that ousted Gerardo Machado, and served in Fidel Castro’s revolutionary government.
Born into a poor family, Roca began working at age eleven, shining shoes. According to Castro, Roca was already a prominent communist organizer in the province of Oriente at 21 years old.
At age 25, Roca helped lead a two week general strike that ousted dictator Gerardo Machado. By 1936, he was head of the Cuban Communist Party and began serving as a politican, helping author the 1940 Cuban Constitution.
Under Roca’s leadership, Cuban communists were instrumental in providing an organizational and ideological structure for Castro’s revolution, as well as playing a pivotal role using the party’s long-standing ties with the Soviet Union to promote increasingly closer ties during the early days of the revolution.
In 1961, Blas Roca, leading a party delegation, presented a Cuban flag to Nikita Khrushchev during a meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Roca served on the first central committee and politburo of the new Communist Party of Cuba, founded in 1965.

Had to put my best friend down yesterday. 12 wonderful years together. Feeling his presence replaced by absence is crushing me.
Losing my dog genuinely hit me harder than losing family members had in the past (disclaimer: i live on a seperate continent as my family). It’s really rough because they tend to be a huge part of your daily routine so their absense is constantly felt. It’s going to take a lot of time, also when I was going through it I went through this meta stage of feeling guilty that I was more actively upset at a pet dying than some people, so try not to concern yourself with that. They were a huge part of your life and it’s fine and healthy to grieve losing them.
Partner broke up with me. Gonna post through it like a good communist.

No current struggle session discussion here on the new general megathread, i will ban you from the comm and remove your comment, have a good day/night :meow-coffee:
Cool shit? New mixes of band stuff are sounding great and we’ve been doing some productive recording.
Bad news? Lost my means of earning money, and not sure if its temporary. Got back on the hunt for a substantial ‘real job,’ but going back tonight to both look for other online shit, as well as try setting myself up with my partners account since she did the same thing I was for a bit, but never completed the training.
Other news? Back in therapy and on new meds, but the new meds dont seem to have their intended effect.
Gonna go putter around and do my little tasks for the day. Holler at me!
I want to have a brain smooth enough to believe that Hamas, a comparatively tiny resistance group in one of the poorest regions composed of 19-year-olds in adidas tracksuits, has this global propaganda network and masterfully spreads misinformation on twitter and tiktok 24/7.
Saw my grandpa in the hospital today. He’s on hospice care. Might not make it through the night and probably wont last another 48 hours.
