Secretary of Organization of the PCC commands residents of Cienfuegos to mow and clean the streets of the city.

The secretary of organization of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), Roberto Tomás Morales Ojeda, ordered the residents of Cienfuegos to start clearing and cleaning the streets of the city, which he found dirty and overgrown during his last visit.

Presiding over the Plenary of the Provincial Committee of the Party alongside the ruling and first secretary of the PCC, Miguel Díaz-Canel, Morales Ojeda emphasized the importance of mobilizing the population to "seek solutions" to the problems accumulating for the regime, which a report by the official PerlavisiónTV described as "moments of evident difficulties."

"In Cienfuegos, we must continue to insist on cleanliness. Cienfuegos has always stood out for its cleanliness, its culture of good taste, and attention to detail. Just now we were coming from the airport here with the secretary, and Avenida 5 de Septiembre - after a 5 de Septiembre - has overgrown areas. This requires mobilizing the grassroots, trimming the gardens of the buildings, [with] the CDR, the Federation, the members who live there..." Morales Ojeda reprimanded the local authorities.

In line with the government's "continuity" guidelines led by Díaz-Canel, the communist leader urged finding local solutions to the citizens' problems, a strategy designed in the Palace to "control damage" and shift the responsibility for the well-being of the governed to local authorities.

"I insist, I already said it and now I reiterate: we must distinguish between what are objective problems, what is fuel, what is something else that we cannot resolve at the local level, and what is organizational, subjective, a matter of discipline, demand, and control," emphasized Morales Ojeda.

Lacking knowledge and strategies to remedy and solve more than sixty years of failed policies that have led to the collapse of the communist system and its economy, the leaders of the PCC (the only legal party in Cuba) cling to their classic methods of "popular mobilization" and "voluntary work."

Unable to be efficient, even in essential and basic public services like those of Comunales, the leaders of the so-called "revolution" appeal to the "consciousness of the working class" for the exhausted and impoverished citizens to carry out the tasks that the government fails to cover with specialized and properly paid labor, in accordance with the nature of their work.

If the streets of Cuba are filled with trash, the green areas of the cities are covered in weeds, or there is a lack of labor to harvest potatoes, the regime does not hesitate to mobilize its working class to take on the tasks that the centralized planning of the economy and society left unattended.

"Communist work, in the most rigorous and strict sense of the word, is work done free of charge for the benefit of society... it is voluntary work, work outside of any norm, work contributed without the expectation of remuneration... work carried out by the habit of working for the common good and by a conscious attitude (turned into habit) towards the need to work for the common good; it is work as a necessity of a healthy organism," defined Vladimir Ilich Lenin.

Morales Ojeda, who has read a bit more than Díaz-Canel on the ideologue of the Russian Revolution, and holds the position of secretary of organization and cadre policy of the Central Committee of the PCC, considers it necessary to return to the old communist manuals to "correct distortions and relaunch the economy."

And for that, he admonishes the people of Cienfuegos, who have lost their traditional "culture of good taste and attention to detail," urging them to take up the machete and the hoe, and to clear green areas and brush so that their city is presentable... for the next plenary session or government visit.
