Humanity Against Castroism

Life can be organized in two ways: on a human basis and on a human basis. Civilization is people-orientedthe other is pain, despair and terror.

Completed in 1929, architect Havana Capitol They carefully created large parks around it. When the legislators were still servants of the state, the building they inhabited had to support the wanderings of their constituents. After decades of abandonment and alternative functions, the old Castroism since 1959 restored the function of the Capitol: seat of the legislative branchand later restored and rebuilt to its former glory. Once the fences that blocked access during the repairs were removed, the administrators of the place received orders: Discourage pedestrians from entering your common areaskeeping citizens out of the space where laws are made: this decision is illustrated through an architectural example, The pain of withdrawal from politics that our citizens suffered under Castroism.

Previously, in the late 1990s or early 2000s, after a major restoration Coppelia Ice Cream Shop — built by communism in the 1960s — those of us who have visited this corner of downtown Havana have discovered Its wide interior walkways have been closed to the public, and the chain will remain open until 2024.. It was almost impossible for customers to enter or leave the sales area.

he Many gates of the National Sports Arena Cerro were closed Decades ago, there was a single in and out passage for crowds attending games.

The school is falling apartbut there was no shortage of bricks to build a two-meter-high wall, reducing the wide passage to a narrow and hostile passage. and Hospitals reclassify tickets to reduce number of tickets left for patientswhen nearby medical buildings were not connected to interior corridors and their historic entrances were bricked up.

In a country where queues and waiting have become an unfortunate additional burden for us, seats have been removed from banks, public offices and parks. Roofs have been deprived of shade, trees have been destroyed and cities are in danger of becoming concrete deserts.

he The morbid contempt for humanity has its own structure, Since it lacks buildings to show, it imposes this by removing from its buildings any consideration of the humanity that frequents them.

Under the communist empire, Cubans are agents of obstruction, cost, erosion And, given our inability to assert our importance as voters, rights holders, and owners, The retreat of civilization brings out animal instincts. What happens to buildings says something about what happens to us humans, except that it’s impossible to measure that damage in terms of the damage done by a set of walls and windows.

But if the “Ghost Around the World” shows Cubans Inhumanity-centric version of the commandmaintaining the cult of our priorities is a universal difficulty for the species. Groups of ecologists, those fighting against the most abominable discrimination, workers’ demands, associations around faith or anti-war efforts can be divided according to whether they promote civilization or despise humanity.

How inhumanity is based on a desire for justice is the most interesting thing to note. It is absurd to suggest that one should share the highest emotions with miserable subjects, similar to the problems encountered by science, which, after defeating the advantages provided by evidence collection and laboratories, cannot proceed without intuition and fantasy, the way our early ancestors represented themselves on the cave walls. We have made such great progress in technological production and stealing the secrets of nature that our ability to choose between the noble and the sordid is no greater than it was thirty thousand years ago.

This is not to deny development, but to affirm that humanity is a given, an absolutely unknown thing, a state of great uncertainty that we embody, and in interpreting it we often fall prey to the euphoria and hubris of the present-day discoveries that offer us. In a similar way The founder of communism made our most precious reality disappear between rhetoric devices such as class struggle, economic relations and the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Today, when the model of profiting from our shortcomings finds its benefits Managing our worst famine, which turned millions of our compatriots into immigrants, This model submerges the resistance in terror, prisons and exiles, abandons its health and education systems, and therefore places its rhetorical framework above the demands of human nature, which is not surprising because the demands of our nature are called bourgeois or exalted in its aspects. The deficit of the ideological masters exhausts us today.

Without humanity, there is no way to do good: empathy for nature that offends the human demands that exploit it, mobilizing against injustices—whether it be discrimination against women, racism, or poverty— Ignoring the rule of law and the equality of all judges before the lawand the defence of past religions, of conceiving extraordinary sins for favourite “heretics,” always produce greater suffering than the one they seek to appease.

There is ample evidence that Delving into the twists and turns of dehumanizing your opponentexhilarated by the loss of one’s own humanity. Dehumanization always finds enough notoriety to argue about and manage its absurdity, Calling himself Karl Marx or Miguel Diaz-Canel.

There is nothing against communism To restore human hegemony in Cuba is nothing less than the values ​​that he beheaded in the joy of the bestial people on January 1, 1959. In the face of our limited understanding of what it means to be human, returning to the crude metaphor of architecture, it is to restore the doors and windows of the buildings to the “good old days” of the doormen who today prevent the villains from entering.
