Cuba: Martí whipped the ideology that today manipulates his ideology

I take advantage of the slow tail to talk with Yoandry and Mayara.I ask you if you remember what ephemeris is commemorated on Friday, January 28.They look at me amazed, maybe they think I'm an eccentric.I tell you that the anniversary of José Martí's birth and that near the hardware store is the forge Martiana.

“‘ Men ’, - Yoandry repeats - if the Inder (National Institute of Sports and Recreation) does not put transport, nobody goes by their own means to the Martian forge to commemorate the birth of Martí.Right now all that happens to the background.People are to solve the food and the problems of their home.Martí doesn't eat ".

“Who remembers Martí with this situation?- Mayara says.The government uses it for everything.The same if they inaugurate a hospital as a pizzeria.And people do not like slogans or orientations imposed.When I was studying nursing, the January 28 we participated in the march of the torches.He was not obliged, but since almost everything in Cuba was a staging.And that makes people, over all young people, are distanced from Martí's figure, ”he says.

What would have been

Roger, a university student who has been listening to the conversation, considers that, in the middle of the economic crisis, generalized shortage and terrible inflation, “to talk about Martí with the people of the street and weigh his political career is something a little crazy.Maybe in an academic or political circle it is different.It is undeniable that Martí is our most illustrious hero.I have always wondered what would have happened if the apostle had not killed him in two rivers.Maybe our story would be different, ”says the young man.

A few hours after the 169th anniversary of José Martí's birth, Cuba is not there to throw rockets.There are barely medicines in pharmacies, making a hot meal a day is a luxury and public transport is still a nightmare, at least in Havana.

The dangerous game

Cuba is a quirky nation.The regime speaks of sovereignty and anti-imperialism, but supports the expansionist ambitions of Putin: the Kremlin has just announced that it will reinforce “technical-military cooperation” with Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, the three pro-Russian dictatorships of the continent of the continent.A dangerous game.And in the case of the island, a sample that olive -green autocracy is navigated aimlessly in terms of geopolitics.

Cuba: Martí fustigó la ideología que hoy manipula su ideario

A considerable part of the population has long recognized that the only thing that matters to the government is to stay in power.At any cost.The narrative of a democratic, prosperous and sustainable socialism, a revolution of the humble and for the humile or social justice is hollow rhetoric.

In the midst of an economic and social landscape that frightens, where the State pays the worker in pesos and most of the foods and essential items must be acquired in dollars, evoking José Martí or any of our illustrious heroes, it is notSomething that interests most people on foot.

The Castro dictatorship has transformed José Martí into a cliché.Melisa, Baccalaureate student explains that in the school "they tell Martí's life and work in an unattractive way.Many young people see the apostle as a distant character.A guy who dressed in black, who never laughed, always came out in the photos.They describe him as a perfect, very illustrious man, who knew everything.And that was above good or evil.That does not strain among the new generation ".

Socorrido Martí

José Martí is the most helpful hero, that of opponents and exiles and the militants of the Communist Party and regime officials.Many claim to have read their complete works, that the regime's aparaatchik have in their offices and the dissidents in the booksellers in their homes.

Repeat to tiredness Martí's phrases is usual in political flag.The difference is that government propaganda tries to impose the matrix of a fiercely anti -imperialist Martrix that flirts with Marxist and example socialism usually put Carlos Baliño, friend of the apostle, one of the founders together with Julio Antonio Mella of the first Cuban communist party,August 16, 1925.but the reality is different.

Never Marxist

José Martí was never Marxist.As an example, this is his quote: "Two dangers has the socialist idea, like so many others: that of foreign, confusing and incomplete readings and that of pride and the disguised rage of the ambitious power, which to get up in theWorld they begin to pretend, to have shoulders on which to rise, frantic defenders of the homeless ".

This new Martian Anniversary brings to my memory that tibia of November 2016, when with a group of friends I visited Ibor City in the city of Tampa.We deposited a floral offering at the foot of a statue of José Martí, close to the former tobacco factory where the apostle was governing our compatriots and collected money for the necessary war.I remember that day I met an 86 -year -old man who was traveling from California every January 28 to honor the teacher in Tampa.

That is the Martí that we prefer.The one that nobody imposes us.That springs free.
