José Martí
= Sections to edit/rewrite: = Marti was an outspoken proponent of anti-imperialism, and devoted much of his writing to understanding the United States' relationship with Cuba. Marti expressed initially positive views of the United States upon visiting New York in 1880, but his views were complicated by American-Cuban relations at the time (Giles, 185). While critiquing the United States for its stereotypes of Latin Americans and preoccupation with Capitalism, Marti also related the American struggle for independence from Britain with the Cuban nationalist movement.(Giles, 186). During the regime of Fidel Castro, the politics and death of Marti were used to justify certain actions of the Cuban state (Ripoll, 12). The Cuban government claimed that Marti had supported a single party system, creating a precedent for an all-powerful communist government (Ripoll, 12). This explanation was used by Castro throughout the late 20th century to deter Cuban citizens from demanding a multiparty system (Ripoll, 14). Despite Marti never having supported communism or single party systems (Ripoll, 16), Cuban leaders repeatedly claimed that Marti's Partido Revolucionario Cubano was a "forerunner of the Communist Party" (Ripoll, 12).
