 Despite being regarded as a Communist state, the ideology of José Martí is what serves as the main source of influence in Cuban politics.The present Constitution, which was passed in a 2019 referendum, also describes the role of the Communist Party of Cuba to be the "leading force of society and of the state" and as such has the capability of setting national policy.The 2019 Constitution also made not only the ideas of Marti, but also those of Fidel Castro superior to those of Marxism with regards to influence over the Cuban Communist Party and Cuban society.
