Lewis Dot Diagram Of Clf2-
Fidel Castro's Cuba became decades ago in a land of mysteries. As in the former USSR, the designs of the dome would have to decipher ruling by the interpretation of certain external signs, suddenly key transformed into important events. The order in which the regime's supreme walk, sit or congregate in public events, especially funerals, causes a wide range of speculation about the fate of this or that character, and even the turns of foreign policy. Guess became a pseudoscience: kremlinología, which in this case call castrología. Of course, this phenomenon is due to the secrecy has been a fundamental element of totalitarian political systems, including Cuba.
With that background, and preceded by an intense wave of speculation, the Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba was opened in Havana on April 16 last. As the party at the epicenter of the highest authority (at least in theory), the international media, echoing officials Sibylline anonymous rumors on the island, announced that the conclave of Havana nomenclature was intended to agree to dramatic changes, including them, young leaders rising to the heights of power and the adoption of unprecedented economic and political freedoms. Nothing less than the demise of totalitarianism and the start of an era libertarian would be unprecedented and even the wonderful balance of the Sixth Congress.
Unfortunately, those who believed those prodigious prophecies took a bitter disappointment. After all, it was not the first nor the last time the communist leaders let us down. Lying, double meanings and circus poses are part of the manual of the Castro regime, totalitarianism in guayabera that makes fun of shared values, in spite of communism by the martyred people of Cuba.
visual analysis of certain scenes in the Congress, passed on the outside, something it possible to measure what happened in the great event. The decayed and figure of the supreme leader and owner of the regime, Fidel Castro, projected the image some of the principal stratum. The appearance on the podium of the dolphin and formal successor and Fidel, Raul Castro, at 80 years old, could hardly excite the environment. The announcement of a renewal of the leaders to provide opportunities for young vibrant Castro, possibly caused deadpan mirth, of course, among the attendees, when chosen for the highest offices of the Party and government have surfaced: José Machado Ventura, the docile ally of Raul, 80, and Ramiro Valdés, another staunch Castro brothers already has on his back 79 years of life. Youth, divine treasure!
Connected to the issue of youth, a new rule to establish a term of five years in the discharge of the office, renewable only once, forcing the calculation of ten additional years to Raul, Jose and Ramirez, who just released new titles. No doubt the term loosely to the three octogenarians. Fittingly be known cast wider finger imposed by the hierarchy of the regime, but of course we are committed to predominate among the elderly, since the unconditional appreciated by the heads is achieved only with age. Because of this intrinsic trait, middle and senior preferred form a gerontocracy marginalizes the elderly and youth. The ukase for young people stayed that way on paper, without any real possibility of renewing the leadership of the Party.
As promised economic miracles, Raul spoke again of the dismissal of 500,000 government employees which has been mentioned on previous occasions. Raul argues that without such a cut could not balance the budget figures. To this end, this time increased in a symbolic and very significant number of potential self-employment. We wonder how many barbers, waiters in tastes and similar occupations needed in an economy unable to grow because of the statist straitjacket of the prevailing system. With 80% of the workforce pinned to the udder of the State, the medium dismissed million tiny displays, a grand gesture vacuo dismissal and undoubtedly led to the export, ie for the eyes and ears of Western leaders vulnerable to such tricks. However, very few could imagine that Raul is a Deng Xiaoping revived.
However, all these violations could perhaps eclipse if Raul's Cuba really began to respect human rights. But none of this is outlined in the order raulista. On the contrary, fundamental freedoms remain a pipe dream, and man still chained to the practice of serving as a commodity to attract financial and political support of the hated capitalist order. Expulsion from political prisoners to Europe, in fact, an exile, proved to be the price paid to release the long-awaited renovation of European financial support, a trick that fortunately did not succeed. So he tried, unsuccessfully, Moratinos, English Foreign Minister myopic committed to reopen the gate to the European community to the Castro regime. Rebound, this mechanism could perhaps persuade some members of Congress to permit the U.S. empire gringo food exports to the island through credits ever considered Havana honor. Delusion.
This bleak outlook leads us to conclude that Raul remains committed to preserving at all costs the current system, with all its evils, brakes repressive and oppressive barriers to individual creativity. Well said a keen observer European reforms announced were a hoax and a way to keep oxygen chamber to the existing order.
To that, a touch of makeup, exercise reduces the brand advertising of the Sixth Congress. The new Cuba Raul remains the same Cuba's Fidel.
