What really matters here is this, IMHO:

Which translated into actual politics means: "We were idiot enough to 
send the Cubans to the embrace of the Soviet Union. When they decided 
that they would take none of our bullying around the issue of the sugar 
mill ownership and the associated issue of land ownership, we not only 
supported the US American companies controlling that business and their 
local allies. We also defended the Maffia bosses who turned Havana into 
the whorehouse of the Caribbean.

Thus, we pushed Cuba towards socialism. Now they seem to be waving 
socialism good bye [this is the journalist´s opinion, of course, which I 
am sure many ultra-Leftists will share] and WE OF ALL PEOPLE don´t 
realize that we can make good money on this".

In other words: "Since we won´t accept that the Cubans have an 
elementary right to sovereign management of their own economy, because 
it is a matter of principle that in our dictionary the word 'democracy' 
means 'US rule over the country' we are kept outside good business. Are 
we fools?".

Which is the goal of Fidel: to try to influence the US business 
community in order that the embargo and associated laws are lifted.

But imperialism is imperialism. So that Goldberg won´t be succesful, 
something which I guess Fidel is aware of. Fact is that whatever the US 
capitalists expect, Cuba will keep following her own road, won´t release 
national control of investment. Neither Maffia bourgeois nor "regular" 
bourgeois will be allowed to mastermind Cuba and impose their rule on 
the country, and on such terms there is little, if any, probability that 
USA releases any sanction on behalf of US investors craving for profits 
in the island of Martí.

Thus, Goldberg is worried by the investments of "Brazilians and 
Europeans". He darkly realizes that they will, in the end, work for the 
strengthening of a Cuba that will run its own NEP (or "transitional 
period" economy) against Cuba´s sworn enemies. In the meanwhile, the 
ongoing process of reunification of the Latin American Nation will give 
the Island the best protection.

This is why, by the way, the Peruvian president (a Quisling in every 
sense) has declared recently that his country will gladly accept US 
military presence. The stakes are high in this struggle, and Cuba is in 
the eye of the hurricane. The handwriting on the wall is showing that 
history has taken a most unexpected (for one-sided and Talmudic 
"Marxists") turn: the road towards Latin American unification, the main 
issue today ON THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM, is paved by an "Italian" mood 
(remember that Italian national unity was enforced by a small portion of 
the country, by diplomatic rather than revolutionary means, but this was 
a "passive revolution", as Gramsci understood, in its own way).

History is showing its deepest "cunning". Marx must be laughing to tears 
at the sight of the complaints of Goldberg.
