Chapandu: Naming the Failed State (+ podcast)

Today we are talking about the signs, labels and words to be imposed: the failed state, for example.

The name came from the laboratory from which others for the same purpose as “dictator” and others are so shameless that we cannot repeat it here.

Everything is part of the arsenal of words in the discourse against the Cuban Revolution. In the case of a failed state, as Barbara Betancourt recalls, it has been used before to describe states that, in the name of their supposed failure, have been invaded and occupied, for example, Iraq or Libya, stating that they, by the way, are doing their job. Just before it was invaded and occupied. Having toppled their governments and thrown their societies into disarray, no one disputes that term.

For his part, Renner Duardo described the term as The new backbone of anti-Cuban humor, though he made it clear that it’s not the work of simple haters on the nets but of their bosses. Joe Biden premiered it in Cuba in July 2021, after sabotage and the arrest and sanctions of its commissioners.

It comes from psychological warfare labs, where it goes straight into President Biden’s mouth. Later, in Florida, the pawns repeated that war like parrots.

The party organizing secretary, Roberto Morales, was fiercely challenged on the fifth of the event in Cienfuegos.
And sometimes, one says: it’s better not to respond because you’re giving attackers a promotion, but that’s not the invention of a network hater. They are media lab signs that seek to create opinion and policy matrices for further sanctions and penalties intended to generalize. Some of them said it openly and without any shame.

Quoting Morales, Duardo asked
How can besieged Cuba be offensively accused of being a failed state, of the most powerful country in the world, which, however, has the record number of deaths from Covid19. How does an empire that sees its youth lost to a deadly epidemic of opiates, narcotics, and which helplessly witnesses the massive sale of bulletproof backpacks for primary schools, intend to exclude Cuba, which has resumed the course with new professions and the atmosphere of a national holiday?

What would the failed state be here?

In the podcast, Marco Rubio’s voices are heard and then his alter ego, Ottola, whose accusations against the Biden administration, purely for electoral reasons in this case, paint a picture of a real failed state in the United States. Republicans blame Democrats for the state of affairs in the world’s richest country, as if the problems began four years ago. As if they were not part of the system, unchanging problems like parties that rotate in power every four years. It gets worse.

Bibi, citing Fidel, noted that it has been well said that there is nothing more like a Democrat than a Republican, noting that if the evidence is missing, there is Biden, making, against his campaign statements, the policy that is very critical of Trump regarding Cuba.

Bibi also draws attention to the number of failed states that emerge every day with the costly political mistake of the United States in fueling the war, provoking Russia and sending billions to Ukraine, but not in food or blankets, but in weapons. Europe is cutting off Russian gas even if it freezes to death in the winter. From what we can see, it has only succeeded in further complicating the already complex jigsaw left by the pandemic.

Returning to the label of the failed state, which will be honored as a successful blow to the anti-Cuban campaign on Twitter (because many revolutionaries used it from Cuba to strike back at its promoters),
Cienfuegos’ best reaction was. showed that Cuba is not afraid of the issue and does not run away from it, just as it does not run away from any problem in the country.

Arguments loom. The failed state would not have survived 63 years of siege and 243 additional measures; He would not have saved his people from the epidemic with his health actions and vaccinations, and he would not have been able to forge all the forces to meet the formidable challenges he faced, whether they were fatal accidents or the product of the accumulation of problems in the initial place of the siege.

A country that assumes its responsibility to search for solutions to the country’s problems, whether it was today or twenty years ago, thanks to the fact that it is not a country of politicians who attack problems only when they pursue electoral goals.

The current Cuban state will not stand against those who preceded it in the mission. Respect the common action and continue to build it against all odds, knowing that one day the main problem, the siege, will end. But not by the will of those who enforce it, but because she managed to jump over the fence and defeat him.
