"The development of socialist sectarianism and development of real labor movement
are always in proportion reverse "C. Marx.
The political moment is complicated: when the situation is more critical economic, social stagnation is chronic, intensify the international campaign to isolate the government, the opposition is gaining strength and state measures to alleviate some internal tensions can be interpreted as weakness to international pressure, more than ever necessary cohesion among the revolutionary ranks, without necessarily end the war of ideas within it to advance socialism.
But that cohesion, "not" unity "that hides apparent subordination to a single, hegemonic thinking," it is possible to secure from sectarianism, the diminished democracy today and the lack of dialogue. Long been stressing the need to complete the establishment of the new consensus on the society in which the Cuban people want to live, which can not be imposed, but stemming from the exchange between all revolutionary and honestly with all stakeholders in Cuban welfare of the nation.
mediation of the Catholic Church, provided by the government to alleviate and eventually resolve the situation of prisoners connected with political causes, is a positive event in the current entered, it can and should serve to open other spaces that ease the pressures that Cubans live. The enemies of dialogue, exchange and understanding, the supporters of sharpening the contradictions, always oppose such moves and torpedoes look more anger and heightened tensions.
In this context, first appears constructive, not their intentions, the letter of the new opposition to the U.S. Congress, seeking to pass a bill that would "lift the travel restrictions to Cuba for all Americans, and facilitate the sale of agricultural products to the island, something that has always interested the government. The European Union has until September to defer reconsideration of its "common position". We Chancellor visits the Vatican. Eminent Cubanologists of emigration are participating in an event of the Catholic Church, with prominent intellectuals. Soon will come to Cuba the President of the Conference of U.S. Catholic Bishops, Cardinal-Archbishop of Chicago, the city projected Obama politically.
is generally a favorable situation for the government to show political realism and intent of substantial changes in its traditional intransigence, beyond making simple gestures point of limited scope to remove international pressure and internal appease the spirits coyunturalmente . In that sense, it would await the completion of the releases and other important internal steps as necessary to initiate dialogue between the different views on the way forward to advance socialism and the welfare of all Cubans.
Cuba must change in many ways and many modifications have to be made to improve the political system to achieve a true participatory democracy and decision-making, as demanded by a society that seeks to build the socialist paradigm never reached. Changes all that should be the result of the maturing of the revolutionary process and no concessions to external pressures of any kind.
everywhere are dialogues between opposites, between North Korean and South, between Arabs and Israelis, between parties of left and right in Europe, between opposition and government anywhere in the world. Is it possible that here we are not able to converse not even among the revolutionaries themselves?
If the differences within the left Cuba were more acute than those that may exist between the government and its prisoners accused of "mercenaries in the service of historical enemy, for whose release the Church is mediating, then the future socialist Cuba is uncertain.
The Cuban people live decades of insecurity, subject to numerous uncertainties and multitude of regulations imposed by all levels of bureaucracy that impede the life of ordinary Cubans, not knowing what will be the direction the government will, unable to plan medium and long term, depending on changing situations and decisions that do not participate.
Army General began his presidency offers hope that waiting to be met. Recently, at the meeting of the National Defense Council spoke of a political-military plan of five points, which sets out purposes. A few days ago the Minister of Economy mentioned a five-year plan through 2015 approved by the Council of Ministers. The people do not
know the details, means and methods, resources, criteria based on those plans. Have not been approved either by a Party Congress, or which is known by the Popular Power National Assembly.
is not simply to consult the people. His sovereignty is to be the decision-maker, exercise real power.
The way to solve, by any means, in short, the lack of material accumulated could lead us to finish in the arms of Uncle Sam, where we want to drive the "democratic transition" of the opposition annexation. We need to structure the new consensus that allows driving forces of cohesion socialism, rouse the people to make a new plan and move on socialization and democratization of economic and political power despite the difficulties and the imperialist blockade.
The problem is not simply produce more, but how to produce. Which methods. How participation of workers and people in management, management, distribution of produced and investments. That is the "chicken rice with chicken." If what is done is rice with turkey, "rather than neoliberal measures socialists can to mitigate the needs, but at the expense of destroying what remains of Revolution.
the government now faces a serious employment problem. I would not if he had opened the possibility of creating all kinds of cooperatives, freed all the work for its own account and removed all the absurd regulations that prevent social exchange relationships.
socialist The only plan that has been reported in Cuba so far this century, are the programmatic proposals presented from within the revolution and the Communist Party for Participatory and Democratic Socialism (PDS), incomplete, perfectible arguable and even utopian, if they wish to qualify those who have never loved, understood, shared, imagined or attempted to socialism.
SPD supporters have our vision do not intend to impose it on anyone, but to disclose, discuss and find ways to be part of the solution, but rejected sectarian discussion and dissemination in the official media, "the only", which insist on defending the failed bureaucratic model of "state socialism" that the government-Party is trying to "update" instead of change, against the grain of reality and their own results.
If not assumed, with all its consequences that the bureaucratic system of state ownership, wage labor and centralized decision-making and over, and failed legacy of Stalinism and therefore must be changed, not merely updated, the only progress is guaranteed ... to sag. Moreover, as the Sixth Congress to postpone indefinitely, not publicly report the approach of people, not make a discussion in the other revolutionary movements, can only be interpreted as an attempt to gain "time" waiting for a miracle revive the "model" ... disaster.
are socialized and democratized the system or falls. Cuban revolutionaries have already exposed many ideas. And then blame imperialism.
Bureaucracy, and especially the dogmatic sectarianism prevalent in the areas of party leadership and the government are preventing sincere and committed dialogue within revolutionary who asked the same historical direction and could be the master key that opens the promising path of the Republic Martiana with all and for the good of all.
At the beginning of the 60's when some leaders of the old Communist Party, Socialist People's maneuvering to try to put their members in key positions and sought to control the organization (IRO) that sought to integrate the revolutionary currents of the time, much was criticized sectarianism and bureaucracy that were revealed in those ways. It is known that this "communist offensive" to pack the institutions of the Revolution, caused serious problems, many of which history is to be addressed.
After moving to important positions in many old communist party "integrated" security and the economy began to be seen as something normal, excluding the positions of management and steering gear, the militant revolutionaries PCC or policies that differed from the address.
sectarian
This harmful practice continues to this day. Programmatic Proposals for a participatory and democratic socialism have yet to be published in the only press in the country. Sectarian Power tried to avoid in the May 1 parade past, the presence of revolutionary posters Critical Observatory, some of whose colleagues have been repressed in different ways.
Recently, after publishing an article warning of the dangers for the revolution of corruption in the state, the prestigious black revolutionary intellectual, communist, perhaps our most complete American affairs specialist, Dr. Esteban Morales, disappeared from Mesa Redonda, where traditionally involved when addressing issues related to U.S. It has driven militants of the CCP from their jobs or have been removed addresses and e-mail accounts to disseminate ideas of Participatory Socialism. Other harassment, we prefer not to disclose for many reasons. Those old communist
what they were sectarian?
is a famous old case, which Marx addressed starkly in a letter to Friedrich Bolte, on November 23, 1871: "The development of socialist sectarianism and development of real workers' movement is always in inverse proportion. The sects are justified (historically) as the working class has not yet matured to a historic move independently. But once it has attained this maturity, all sects are essentially reactionary. "
in Cuba Today, we see with vivid clarity the reactionary nature of sectarianism in those actions that create division, resentment and hinder social progress.
Sectarianism is a form of corruption of social consciousness, a phenomenon that some confined to the economy, but actually extends to human behavior in general, especially in the political arena, when it manifests as encouragement to exercise hegemony permanently and absolutely on the other, which degenerated into patronage, nepotism, individualism, and manipulation of laws, institutions, regulations and democratic habits to try to preserve the absolute power of a or a few.
Respect diversity in Cuba has increased recognition of gender aspects of culture and religion to homosexuals, but would be a sham but result in recognition of the political diversity of Cuban society and especially treatment differentiated racial problem.
program proposals for a Participatory and Democratic Socialism, presented to the people of Cuba and all Cuban revolutionaries overlooking the VI Congress of the CCP, have clearly met with disapproval by some in the direction of government and the CCP and supporters capitalist restoration in and out of Cuba. Some try to avoid knowledge by the people and workers and others seek to undermine it in various ways.
Both are identified and they boast to find and discredit, as the proposals provide all the good that can provide together the opposition and the government: freedom, democracy, diversity, respect for all human rights and education, health and social security guaranteed , and rejects all the bad things that carry both, wage exploitation, social, privileges, consumerism, environmental degradation, centralism without democracy and stifling of individual and collective freedoms.
One representative of sectarianism and bureaucratic statist said he had to prevent the spread of these ideas because, like cocaine, were "addictive."
sectarianism can only explain that the policy proposals that do not have a single point in favor of capitalism, have not been published in Granma as part of the debate that there is claimed. Why worry? If they are utopian, unrealistic, as some say, and be responsible militants and the people to reject them. They are daughters of nobody in particular, but the concrete historical situation of the Cuban revolution in this new century. If so annoying signature can remove it.
Some want to abandon the policy of "critical collaboration with government, party and assume the confrontation. I'm not going to qualify spent their intentions and methods, each will know his reasons, but we will not lend us a bell that can not even seem out of the revolution or against it. What we do is always from the inside-contradictory. Personally, with her and from her live or die. Some of you may be confused, the imperialist enemy knows this well.
Post in the national press program proposals would show the current direction sincere willingness to abandon their sectarian dogmas, leaving behind their opposition to constructive dialogue between the revolutionary forces and an important contribution to cohesion, at a time when the bitterly complicated economic and political crisis that Cuba lives. Socialism
life.
