Contemporary man should abstain from easy condemnations: is the alternative to the Cuban model so credible and human?
Opinions
Fidel was a dictator. The democratic United States and the
free world have no dictators. They buy them. They make business with them. They
put them at the government and they overthrow them according to the convenience of
the moment: it is different! In a country like Cuba only one man can rule, or
at least one single party can, the only one allowed. In the world of good lobby
spokespersons are alternated each other. Also this is different, and it doesn’t
change the fact Fidel was evil while all the other always have been good. They were so good that they condemned an
entire island to starvation for decades. How can define the embargo imposed on Cuba in different way? And could we? All right, all right, Cuba is in
trouble with freedoms, respect of human rights and civil rights. Maybe the
world of good and freedoms is free of problems? Do black people and minorities have the same rights of other people? Do they receive equal treatment compared to the rest of the society? Are black people and minorities not discriminated? Do the poors get assistance? The electric chair was replaced by the lethal injection: in civilized countries the good kill with respect and dignity.
Missiles, rockets, bombs, airstrikes, tanks and contractors allowed the export of democracy: good are imperalists, never ever dictator! In Cuba minors go to school or to get in prostitution, while in the rest of the world they work in order to satisfy the false need of consumism having in return some professional skills and few money: it is called welfare, something unknown in dictatorship. Anyway, the dictator is dead. The evil is no loger there. On the contrary, Guantanamo is still there as it is Abu Ghraib, to remind us that principles and rules change according to the different colors of uniform. Be on the right side and everything will be permitted and forgiven, be on the wrong side and nothing will be tolerated. My imprisonments will be never like yours, my crimes will be never comparable with yours: that’s how it works. Fidel was a dictator and history will judge. History will do that. And us? Are we really in the position of judging?
