Havana.- aware that very few participate spontaneously in the “anti-imperialist neighborhood-debates” – The most recent” vintage initiative “of a regime that when tries to get” creative “only reproduces the same ridicors over and over again – then impose it as a compulsory task for the unions and nuclei of the Communist Party in the work centers. Spaces where people are obliged to attend as a “change of work”, so they were absent could have an impact on the salary at the end of the month, in the “payment of profits” and in the “stimulations” where there are still.
For many Cubans, the “Debate neighborhood” is attended as a public, they are told as part of the working day. Even in the companies that have some resource for the transportation of their staff, it is conditioned to the mandatory assistance and – according to us witnesses of what has been happening – even the drivers are not ordered not to make intermediate stops on the route . That is to say, do not let anyone go to the destination – there is a need to “make bulk” -, almost always in places where there is no other way to leave that is not waiting for the end of “the activity” so that the transport Return your normal itinerary.
There is a mixture of deception, blackmail and kidnapping, of evil and despair of the regime in that strategy to achieve quorum where the puppet theater could end up transformed, due to true popular spontaneity, in the lynching of those fat people who come to talk about “blockade” and “creative resistance.” That they only complain about how bad that capitalism is where everyone wants to flee, and how good and modest that are the bellies put by finger.
A highly dangerous, volatile speech, as the spirits are exalted in the neighborhoods these days of blackouts and deep hung partial dollarization “and”chemical“Flying” own “heads. Perhaps as a previous step before one day of these begin to fly the others.
After all, between a drug that bestializes them and the ideological concoction “without Jama” that idiotizes them, the options are not too many for Cubans, young and old, men and women, who already know in their own stomach the nightmares of communism . So they risk other hallucinations where, at least, the belly is not filled but the head jumps in pieces with something as simple as a dust or a “piece of paper”, which are neither the pamphlet of “continuity”, nor The “miracles” of the god Fidel Castro, nor the breakdown in the boilers of the Guiteras and the Felton, nor the gas tail, the tail of gasoline, the price of the chicken, or the two pounds of rice of December 2024 that They are not yet paid by finishing February 2025.
Only deceived and low kidnapping, threatened and treated as a endowment, there is a “crowd” that the regime press can show as “spontaneous”, and that should not bother us so much in terms of explicit deception, as fun by the clear signs of That the dictatorship without such tricks is simply an abandoned, lonely body. He has no other way of appearing backed by the people than by lying to herself, which is fun, of course, but also very sad.
Not for the part that makes ridicule with such ambush, since no totalitarian dictatorship deserves compassion or pity, but for those people who, even being a direct witness of the abuses and weaknesses of the system, even against their desires not to abide by An order, even knowing that with saying “I am not” they can give the coup of grace to the beast that oppresses them, they choose to make the game, which extends and reinforce in the role of victim, as if in the background enjoy.
I admire those who escape such kidnappings, those who disobey the boss who puts the “ideological work” above productivity. I applaud to those who prefer to charge less but look good with themselves, or walk dozens of kilometers to their homes or get at the mercy of an almost impossible public transport in these days where the fuel that comes from Russia is reserved to start the thermoelectric on weekends (at which time the burden and tiredness could reissue another outbreak such as that of July 11, 2021that not by chance happened on Sunday) and, above all, for the “ideological work” that this year, perhaps because it is the definitive one, it has been reinforced, as is normal as long as all attempts to refloat an economy whose sinking It owes precisely to the reinforcement of “ideological work.”
The worker must be taken to the worker, as well as the worker, he must give salary and guaranteed basic services that stimulate him to produce, and not blackmail that force him to pretend loyalty to an ideology or a government.
It is a paradox – not to say stupidity – that trying to remedy something with what has hurt him. Because he will use “ideological work”, trying to underpin tired pearies with the structures of a system to which the ideology itself has eaten away due to corruption and double standards that it generates by itself, it is the most dumb and desperate, it is counterproductive.
