Communist recognizes precarious life in Cuba and calls on revolutionaries to resist

El Morro is still on, but the propaganda apparatus of the Cuban regime languishes, fed by a current of “continuity” that is increasingly weaker and mediocre.

An article written by the host of the program 'Con Filo', Michel Torres Corona, and published in the strongholds of the regime's official press, perfectly illustrates the zero degree of writing achieved by an empty, Manichaean discourse devoid of resonance among a population fed up with sixty years of propaganda or, as in the case of young people, alien to the “revolutionary epic”.

Under the title of “Turn off the nose?”, Torres Corona sings the “song of defeat” of the so-called “Cuban revolution” with the ecstasy typical of fanatics, people without criteria and without self-esteem who adore the idea of immolating themselves for their alleged ideas; and that in the end, at the moment of truth, they send the poor unfortunates to the slaughterhouse while they flee through the back door of history.

For this one socialize of Humberto Lopez, the crisis in Cuba It is an indisputable reality, but one against which the “revolutionaries” are not daunted. Although the destruction is total and requires a change of direction to begin reconstruction, the country - like the streets - belongs to the “revolutionaries”; and these – the real ones – are not going to hand over power, even if they only know how to use it to keep Cubans divided, faced with an “external enemy”, and in material and spiritual misery.

“It is true that we have supply problems, that we have to stand in long lines or buy food and other essential products at a premium; It is true that life in Cuba is difficult, that transportation seems to get worse every day and that the infamous blackouts appear from time to time; It is true that there are people overwhelmed by problems, people who decide to seek their fortune on other coasts,” Torres Corona acknowledged, as if discovering warm water.

However, “stubborn, recalcitrant, eternally uncomfortable (sic), we revolutionaries enforce every day a maxim from Martí that is, at the same time, a kind of mantra: 'The true man does not look at which side he lives better, but rather which which side is duty,'” said the pamphleteer, unable to find the true meaning of Martí's phrase.

The “duty” invoked by the Apostle has nothing to do with the stubbornness of imposing a totalitarian regime on a population that expects from its rulers the attention and solutions that its problems require. Martí's "duty" does not have to do with justifying all abuses with the greatness of the increasingly unpopular "revolution", but rather with being on the side of justice and seeking the good of all. But what understanding can be expected from someone who calls Ernesto Guevara a poet?

“Many years have passed and we still have not learned to give up,” admitted the columnist who - apparently - has not learned either to admit the diversity of ideas, or to promote freedom of expression and human rights that lead to the opening of a society. locked in by tyranny, leads to freedom and prosperity. Dialoguing with those who think differently, opening oneself to free popular consultation, having the courage to undertake a change is synonymous with “surrender” for Torres Corona.

Like a good parrot, that bird that swarms through the corridors of power of the Cuban regime, the jurist communicator of the dictatorship, repeats that phrase of the hollow stone with the name of Fidel. “Revolution is changing everything that needs to be changed,” he says, emulating the idiotic candle-eaters who, repeating slogans, reach the government and the presidency of Cuba.

“To the revolutionaries, to those of us who are committed to this process beyond scarcity and precariousness, to those of us who continue to believe in the ideals of socialism, we have to resist, improve,” and blah blah blah. Torres Corona bores even her grandmother with the story.

Reaching paroxysm and plantain, the infamous spokesperson dresses up as a revolutionary mourner to declaim a substitute for good old Byrne. “Even if the day came when we were a minority, even if we were defeated, we would continue to jealously guard that seed of hope that germinated on our island.”

“That phrase is popular that talks about those of us who stay to 'turn off the Morro', those who will supposedly languish when the others have abandoned ship. Even if we were only a handful, we wouldn't let that light go out,” said the trashy patriot.

Beyond the emptiness, the defeatist and melancholic tone of the text is surprising, painting a "post-revolutionary" scenario in which only the champions of that Fidel who vibrates in the mountain - or within his Eternal Rock, as its sculptor calls it - will remain. that was sculpted, Athough it does not seems.

For these loudspeakers with legs of the Cuban regime, it is better to bore the staff with their trains than to advocate for harmony and a solution to the crisis among all Cubans. The inability to imagine another Cuba is common to all the fools who try the sweets of the dictatorship, its privileges, its coupons, its 'jabitas'.

The day they have to "turn off the Morro", they won't even know where the button is. Better that they leave it on, that the party (yes, the one that has been coming for decades, but that has not been able to be celebrated because the "revolutionaries" are very macho), the party on the Malecón in Havana, will be greeted with new light in the lighthouse
