A young man reported on Tuesday that in his Committee for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) in the province of Ciego de Ávila, they sold the neighbors a package consisting of used underwear, cotton, a rope, and a tie.
Guillermo Rodríguez Sánchez shared on Facebook that he was studying and working in his apartment when a neighbor informed him that a module was being sold through the CDR for 535 pesos.
"Being the fool that I am at 34 years old, I went excited and full of hope with my money in hand, eager to see what 'wonderful cheap products' awaited me," Rodríguez expressed.
However, the "surprise" that awaited the young man was a package containing some old intimate items, a small amount of cotton, a tie, and a rope.
Regarding the intimate ones, she mentioned that, being so old, "possibly with zero menstrual retention, meaning you would need to use three if you're a woman to achieve any effectiveness, and therefore, you'd be carrying a massive bulk."
He admitted that he hadn't seen cotton since 2007, so the "mini dose" included in the package would protect him "like a treasure." With irony, he remarked that he almost "cried" upon seeing such a precious product.
Among the items in the display, Rodríguez mentioned a tie that, according to him, seemed intended for a local bus driver, who surely refused to wear it, stating that he wouldn’t put on "that ridiculous thing even if he were tied to the steering wheel."
"That it had been a long time since they had made a fool of themselves with the passengers, dealing with the broken bus every day and without parts at the workshop," he pointed out.
Finally, the module also included a rope, which was considered "the jewel in the crown" and also a "subliminal message" from the CDR during the blackout.
"This module has a semantics that lies somewhere between unsettling mockery and a failed attempt at usefulness," emphasized Rodríguez.
In an ironic tone, the young man "thanked" the CDR for the assortment of "slow-moving products in national warehouses with questionable usefulness at a 'modest price.'"
However, he admitted, "I'd better not grab the rope, just in case during a blackout I might end up using it to go to the great beyond, all while the television comes back on and Bernardo Espinosa is announcing yet another energy crisis."
The Cuban government continues to make a spectacle of itself in its desperate attempt to attract more people to political and mass organizations, such as the CDR.
Former Cuban spy Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, now the national coordinator of the CDR, urged CDR members to fight on social media during the central event commemorating the 64th anniversary of the organization.
In Santiago de Cuba, the venue for the national event, Hernández Nordelo stated that "the bombs of today are more subtle and hidden, and are primarily found in the world of social media."
In celebration of the organization's anniversary, INDER organized a special morning event featuring a symbolic "caldosa".
However, in the meantime, the Guantánamo government sold a module for making the traditional festive ajiaco for a value of 1,000 pesos.
