Those of us who
know him can confirm the heroism that Ralph E Gonsalves carries
proudly in his lifelong quest to bring 21st
Century Socialism to the Caribbean.

Ralph first
became interested in Karl Marx as a very young man; some say he had
already slipped into the Marxist system when he was still at the
boy's Grammar school in Kingstown, Saint Vincent. He was well
established in the brotherhood and solidarity of Marxism by the time
he first met Dr. Walter Rodney at the University of the West Indies
in Jamaica. As a student he assisted the much revered Guyanese, Cuban
implanted ultra glorious revolutionary Walter Rodney in Jamaica.
Rodney was only a few years older than Ralph, he was UWI lecturer, an
African Historian holding a Ph.D. in the same, and was seeking to
bring a revolutionary experiment to Jamaica. Gonsalves was the
university student union leader, and able to give his Marxist
strength and knowledge to the other students. Rodney's Jamaican
revolutionary experiment didn’t succeed due to intervention by the
Jamaican government. But Gonsalves heroically fought unsuccessfully
in riotous assembly to bring him back into the country despite Rodney
being banned. Ralph Gonsalves through this very matter had
established himself at a young age as a revolutionary hero of the
Marxist-Leninist movement.

Gonsalves
continued to bring his heroism to the Caribbean people; he was loved
by all the Caribbean’s socialists. He pushed ever forward with his
heroism by writing about the rotten right-wing governments of the
time. He enraged the Barbadians where he was now dwelling so much
because he wrote such things that were true communist thoughts and
ideas in the Barbados media. They made him persona non gratis, and he
had to leave the island. Those socialist Bajans he left behind
described him as a hero.

Ralph Gonsalves
had become a great supporter of the Cuban revolution. A great and
meaningful supporter of the Castro brothers and the Cuban communist
party. He recognized what good could eventually come to the
hemisphere as the Cubans sought to take over the whole of the
Americas and Caribbean nations. He believed he was well placed to
help them do that, and he never stopped trying. We can be sure at
some time in the future, if not secretly all ready; he will be
officially recognized as a true brother hero of the Cuban communist
party.

When in Cuba
Ralph always wears the Cuban Communist Party lapel pin-badge, never
seen without it.

There can be no
doubt he is a hero, a mighty one man powerhouse of Cuban
Marxist-Leninist communism and its spread of revolutionary power
wherever Marxists of the Islands and Americas can take seed, grow,
and blossom. He awaited his calling to power patiently and could
count Fidel Castro as his personal friend and mentor. He has rewarded
Cuba well since his election in SVG.

In December
1979 Comrade Ralph, as he was now called, a label that he loved
because it showed respect for his growing superiority over other
politically minded young people in the Caribbean. That superiority
was recognized by the Cuban and Russian assisted Grenada revolution.
Ralph Gonsalves was chosen by Maurice Bishop to advise him on the
political concept and procedures of Marxist-Leninist procedures.
Gonsalves advised Bishop, writing Bishops speech’s, and going with
Maurice to meetings and rallies, always sitting next to him. Ralph
had become a true hero of the Grenadian revolution, recommended by
the Russians who said he was “a man who could be trusted.”
Eventually, Ralph had to get back to building his revolution in his
own country, a dream he had since his teenage years. Unfortunately,
without Ralph, Maurice Bishop got to arguing with his Grenadian
revolutionary partners, and they ended up murdering him. This greatly
affected Ralph, and he now witnessed the Empire [USA] destroying the
revolution by invading the island.

Over the years
Ralph Gonsalves the hero to the Cuban people, approached revolution
in his own country more mildly and gently than would be found in most
revolutions. He was what one might describe as a gentleman
revolutionary. His mode of operation has enraged the Vincentian
opposition parties. Women have come forward and wrongly accused him
of sexual molestation and rape. Accusations have been falsely laid
regarding vote rigging and wrongdoings. All of this is untrue, and
the people of SVG have recognized that by rendering their continuous
support, and their acceptance of him being a true hero of the people.
Ralph set a good example to every socialist politician and government
everywhere, and continues to do so today.

Ralph Gonsalves
became a great archetype to all other Island leaders as he led SVG
into that great organization, ALBA, the others soon followed. He has
always been honest and given his all to the Venezuelan people by
supporting Nicholas Maduro against aggression by the Empire. His
heroic and fearless solidarity with Maduro despite an expected
backlash by the Empire compounds his heroism, he fears them not, and
like every good Marxist shows his immense dislike of them.

Fellow
Marxists-Leninists wherever they are in the Caribbean, Americas, or
anywhere in the World can take a lesson from this great man, this
brave and courageous man.

For sure Saint
Vincent and the Grenadines should be thankful that Ralph is their
leader, that he has led them to a better life, and surely they are
today in a better place than their forefathers.

So thank you
dear hero of the Vincentian and Caribbean people, we all love and
respect your heroism. Thank you comrade we love you, may you rule the
Vincentian people into the next life, even beyond the grave.

[ The Communist
Party of Cuba is the political party that rules in the Republic of
Cuba. It is a communist party of the Marxist–Leninist model. The
Cuban constitution ascribes the role of the party to be the "leading
force of society and the state."
