What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani returns several times to one image: in the sierra, during the guerrilla war, Castro carried Rousseau's Social Contract under his arm, not Capital12. From this he concludes that Castro was at first neither communist nor pro-Soviet. In his view, it was in the face of American attempts to overthrow him that Castro looked to the USSR for a protector3. Among these attempts he cites the Bay of Pigs landing4. He also links Castro to the question of the nation and repeats, through Losurdo, his phrase "we have rediscovered the nation"5. He notes that before the revolution, Cuba was "the brothel of the bourgeoisie"6. In Latin America, Castro embodies in his view the "communist subversion" that is being fought7. Finally, Dominique Pagani counts him among his three favourite heads of state of the twentieth century8.
