La Virtud Doméstica, un pensamiento de oposición a la injerencia norteamericana en Cuba

Abstract

The domestic virtue constitutes a tendency of politic thought present during the first two republican decades which has as a central point to avoid a direct military North American intervention. It is a burgeois thought that supports the intellectual sectors of the middle classes and it expresses with loyalty its aspirations and possibilities. The elaborated theory on the part of this intellectuality, if it is not within the boundaries of reformism in the solutions it proposes, constitutes a constant struggle for raising optimism and the hope of the Cuban people in their future. Its principal meaning is in the facing of the plattista speech that promotes frustration and lack of confidence of the Cuban population in front of the neocolony relations. On the contrary, the representatives of the domestic virtue trust in the capacities of the Cuban people to direct and transform their own destiny. Its great contribution as a theoretical system has been to keep firm the ideological flags of the independence of the country.
