If you don't eventually come to truly understand the history of the class struggle, or at least have a clear idea that society is divided between the rich and the poor, and that some people subjugate and exploit other people, you're lost in a forest, not knowing anything.

Answer:

C. Society's rich should not exploit the poor

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out what can be inferred from Castro's statement regarding what influenced him to become a Cuban nationalist, we first have to understand what Castro is talking about. Castro describes class struggle and the idea that society is divided between the rich and the poor. He continues to say that some people exploit other people. Therefore, based on this information, we can infer that the society's rich should not exploit the poor.
