The teacher asks the student in a Cuban school.
– Please tell us three great achievements of our revolution.
– Health, Education and Sport – answer the students.
The teacher again:
Three things to improve?
– Breakfast, lunch and dinner – answers guys.

The joke I heard in Havana seemed to me more representative than the deeper analysis.
I only spent fifteen days in Cuba, so I can’t say much, but I will say at least two ideas, as a result of what I saw in Cuba. One is that no word will ever come out of my mouth for the government there. And the other is that I suspect that when Castroism ends, most Cubans will become anti-Castroists, similar to what happened in Spain with Franco.

In Havana, when visiting the Museum of the Revolution, how not to feel the emotion, even the admiration, when seeing what these brave young people did 50 years ago. But with the street crushed, the impressions of the museum vanished quickly in the form of smoke. The Cuba I knew was not joyful, in a few places such sad looks, so much despair. The distribution of wealth is a beautiful goal, in Cuba and everywhere, but it cannot be distributed without it.

How easy it is to be a revolutionary in Europe, a revolutionary from afar, of course. Praise the cube and underestimate the one here, but with a car of 25,000 thousand euros in the garage, and the second house in Jaca or La Rioja, and the winter holidays in the snow, and the summer in Cadiz. So much in this Basque country.

In Cuba, at the most, the salary of 20 euros, without being able to go out and be silent, constantly listening to the eternal slogans over the years. The well-known phrase says that there is nothing more foolish than the worker who votes for the right. The Listos, however, feel like leftists and live like capitalists. In Europe the left-wing parties have almost disappeared, but in the Basque Country, on the other hand, we have an extensive collection. Are we the listeners?

Europe is not in a position to teach anyone, but if it is realistic, and given the way the world is, there is no denying that Europe has achieved the most just living conditions. The greatest achievement, in my opinion, is that 90% of society is of the middle class. What is typical for us are unimaginable luxuries in most parts of the world: good public health, the opportunity to learn, social protection... But Europe is boring, it has no charm, and some prefer to be pseudo-revolutionaries at a distance, blinded by the splendors of paradises that were lost long ago, and proud of coherence, without shame.
