Why would anybody think that I could answer such a question? I'm not seeking state power. Anarchists are not interested in obtaining state power. This is a hypothetical about a completely different kind of situation.
What should ring bells is that leftists constantly cite U.S. hostility towards Cuba as some kind of excuse for the fact that the Castro regime has been in power for 50 years. That's some revolution if it can't be turned into a participatory process in the face of U.S. pressure. Why hasn't Cuba had a regular transfer of power? Is it because the so-called "Cuban revolution" is really just a typical small country coup that has become permamently enshrined with socialist trappings.
Doesn't this question also point out the folly of pursuing a socialist statist revolution in one country?
