Díaz-Canel to young sympathizers from the U.S: We seek "food, clothing, health, education, and culture for all."

"In conditions of blockade, we have not been able to develop the economy as we would like, but this economy is capable of supporting a social program that has more results than even developed countries with immense wealth," he stated.


The Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel stated that his government defends the social work of the so-called "revolution" and, therefore, they distribute equitably "food for all, clothing for all, healthcare for all, education for all, and culture for all."

He stated this from the air-conditioned halls of the Palace of the Revolution, where he met with a group of young Americans who are members of the Let Cuba Live brigade.

The meeting, with questions from the young people and answers from the ruler, constituted the content of the latest installment of the From the Presidency program, in which the leader of the "continuity" unleashed the topics of revolutionary propaganda before the perfect audience: those indoctrinated young people who freely advocate for causes allegedly progressive because they enjoy rights and freedoms guaranteed by democracy and the rule of law in their country.

With a Palestinian keffiyeh over his shoulders, Dr. Díaz-Canel lectured for almost two hours on the evils of capitalism and the achievements of socialism. Uncomfortable with the ends of the keffiyeh falling on his belly and hopping in his chair, the statesman of the "beautiful tree" (the lemon tree; Lv. 23:40) went on at length to tell lies to his audience, those that he can no longer release joyfully to the Cubans during his pilgrimages through towns and cities.

Fidel here, Fidel there; Fidel told me this, told me that. I am the continuity of Fidel. The blockade, the tightening of the blockade, the creative resistance, the current situation and social justice of a "revolution" that has been blocked for over 60 years... the endless droning.

"And that is one of the paradoxes of the Cuban Revolution. Under blockade conditions, we have not been able to develop the economy as we would like, but this economy, which is a war economy, is capable of sustaining a social project that has more social results, and more social impact, than even developed countries that have enormous wealth but distribute wealth differently," said Diaz-Canel to his enraptured friends.

Inflamed by his rhetoric of Ñico López, the host drew a mural with the "achievements of the revolution" in front of the wide-eyed faces of the enthusiastic brigade of progressive greenhorns with Visa and Mastercard cards. Carried away by his wit, Díaz-Canel celebrated the paternalism of the communist regime that entrusted him with the family that truly holds the power.

"We seek not equality, but equity. When we seek food, we seek food for 11 million Cubans. It's not about putting food on the shelves for those who can buy, while others starve; no. It's food for everyone, clothing for everyone, education for everyone, health for everyone, culture for everyone. It's not scientific knowledge within reach of a few... It's scientific knowledge within reach of all. Rights for all. And that's our logic, and that's what we defend."

In those exact terms... "to make the food look appealing and not wait for basic basket food" was a metaphor.
