Antiwar demonstrations[edit]

'Antiwar demonstrations that invariably erupted into violence' strikes me as a suspect way of putting things. Certainly antiwar demonstrations, even in the early 70s did not invariably erupt into violence, and when they did, as I understand it, it was as often as not a direct result of police activity. Or did whoever wrote it mean to say something about what Venveremos did in antiwar demonstrations? -- Rafaelgr, March 8 2004 I find this page completely insulting. Almost reads like it was written by the FBI..Almost nothing in this article is true, I went on two Brigades and nothing in this article reflects my experience. Particulary the part about people not being harrassed by the FBI after they came home. I was fired or forced to leave 3 jobs in the 70s after visits to my employers from FBI agents. This nareticle should be scrapped. Or labeled propagandaOldpanther 12:10, 31 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldpanther (talk • contribs) [reply]

Venceremos Organization merger.[edit]

This entry duplicated the Venceremos Organization entry and the two articles should be merged. DJ Silverfish 18:46, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As pointed out in the talk page on the Venceremos Organization, these were two entirely separate groups that just share a Spanish word in their name. Merging the articles is not at all justified. I was a member of the Venceremos Brigade in 1972, and believe that VB deserves a longer article. Anyone interested - please contact me User:Cullen328 (talk) 03:13, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in love with Fidel[edit]

and I would like a picture of him right here Cristian Opazo (talk) 17:37, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any photos should be of the Venceremos Brigade. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 17:49, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Biased[edit]

Wow, this page is heavily slanted towards praising the organization. --Lacarids (talk) 22:16, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Brigade and Gay Lib[edit]

I'm going to work on adding some materials from Allen Young (writer)'s "Gays under the Cuban revolution" about the conflicts between the Brigade's organizers and gay members. Pjefts (talk) 21:59, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
