Anyone who has lived or known Castros' Cuba, knows
that when in many countries May 1st is an opportunity for workers to demand
social and labor claims; in Cuba, May 1st is kidnapped by Castros for mounting
a sui generis show, where 5 decades of constant trial and error are exalted to
"achievements" of the totalitarian and dictatorial Castros'
Revolution. Raul, on behalf of the influenced 600 members of his only Communist
Party, who forgiving his past mistakes, "elected" him as president in
a democracy libretto performed publicly during Cuban mock elections, once more made
thousands of Cubans with double standard celebrate the possibility of a few: 1-to
work the idle lands kept by Fidel; 2-to stay in hotels; 3-to have cell phone
lines, 4-to rent cars, 5-to sell their homes and cars, 6-to travel abroad, 7-to
buy new cars from the government at impossible prices, all these rights which Fidel
kept restricted or reserved exclusively for foreigners. They also celebrated
the inexorable and still insufficient wage increases to the health sector and
sports; the authorized goods to the self-employedWorkers in the black Market
supply system; the constant theft of government enterprises by public employees
to complete an undignified wage but essential to live modestly or
poorly; besides they celebated the high living standards of the leaders and
their families with their own cars and good homes, political repression, human
Rights Violations, the lack of fundamental freedoms, excessive prohibitions and
restrictions of all kinds, the miserable average Salary of $ 20 a month, the
grim and unstable basic food Basket, the exodus of about 20 % of the Cuban
population to other countries, with defections in Sport, Culture, Education,
Medicine, Politics, etc. and constant condemnation from major international
human rights organizations. Castro also celebrated the Solidarity, another manipulated
Fraud, revealing its true essence these days in Venezuela sister country; the
tenacious kidnapping of national and international information, repression of
any form of opposition and dissent; the introduction of double standard as a
basic principle of coexistence in Cuban Socialist Society; unsuccessful
educational plans established to create the "new man"; the
manipulated electoral system and the perpetuation of the Castros in power, with
their two essentially political TV channels in harmony with its politically and
economically unsustainable "Battle of Ideas" with Open Forums and
Round tables, which have become a national and international laughing stock,
that witness the decline of an Utopian Lie, Communism.
