Cuban President

So, yesterday Miguel Díaz-Canel took office as the Cuban president of the government counsils, yet it is important to understand that nothing that happens in the Island is as it seems from within the empire.
By having been born and raised beneath the boots and thus natively english and spanish thinker I want to tell you a few secrets about the first address from the new president to the senate.

Beneath, I will leave a link to the sadly bigbroderish youtube link of the TeleSur coverage of the speech.

First of all this is not the end of the Castro rule of the Island, its the continuation of a project for the archipielago that goes well beyond the names of the rulers, yet without a Castro in the chair it will be even harder to say there is an authoritarian rule. Don't take me wrong, I'm convinced that there is no such thing as a government that is not authoritarian, yet there is such a thing as a government that holds honest goals and tries to keep them up who's in charge notwithstanding. Such I think was the transition from Fidel to Raul and such will this one be too.
Cuba is no paradise, but as the XXIst century unravels the clarity of mind of leaders like Fidel, Pepe and Evo becomes evident. And the huge efforts made by viceroys like Temer and Macri to hold other leaders from power proves that harm can be done from within the institutions as well.
Most of the cuban archipielago is in better social and ecological shape than most of the world since the internal processes of predation have been organized and the teeth of the international market have been held at bay by the efforts of the local population that still knows -somehow- that their liberty is hard earned.
I believe that the best proof of the strength of the cuban revolution is that the new challenges we face as humanity are met in cuba with a culture and a logic that, like with many of Fidel's rulings, only makes sense in the long run. After so many years of economic hardship and rationing the islands are filled techniques invented by with people that know how to save resources and be more efficient.

Want to see the dark side of the coin? Neither Camilo nor el Che where mentioned even once as a part of the previous generation that left the island independent and socialist.
So as it has always been only a part of the freedom is real and only some of the principles followed but the complexity of any society is not for us to judge and after seeing how the islands are doing after almost 60 years of communism compared with how the world outside is...

'la revolución es unidad independencia, es luchar por nuestros sueños de justicia para cuba y el mundo que es la base de nuestro patriotismo, nuestro socialismo y nuestro internacionalismo'

where so many prejudices and dreams can be sumarized "The revolutions is unification and independence, it is fighting for our dreams of justice for cuba and the world that is the basis for our patriotism, our socialism and our nationalism"
