AMBIDDY-1 goes on to mention his various publications. He describes his first publication, "Communism por qué?" (Communism what for?) which he wrote nine months prior to Castro coming to power. The main theme of this pamphlet, according to A-1, was that more than changing a government what is needed is a change in men's conscience. The pamphlet also outlined the duties of the patron (land owner) to the workers so that the latter may live in dignity and honor. The patron should feel that the problems of his workers are also his problems. The worker in turn has certain obligations to the patron. If this quid pro quo is not adhered to the (Christian) government has the right to intervene for the common good.

Later on, after Castro was in power, A-1 wrote his letter of resignation accusing Castro of being a communist and traitor. In this letter A-1 mentions he resigned because Castro had not been honest with the businessmen by not telling them their property would be confiscated.

A-1 then went into exile and there he published a book called Traición (Betrayal). This book clearly outlined the ideology of the movement.

"We believe the state should forego and simulate private economy both national as well as in foreign. [During the Bay of Pigs I wrote my political thesis.] We have to have an effective democracy in Latin America. [In my effective democracies] because [In Latin America] the word democracy has been prostituted too.
