A propósito de esa colección de citas de Fidel Castro que Granma anda desenterrando últimamente:

“To the new revolutionaries puritanism has not been enough. It has not been enough to try to drive social corruption back across the Straits of Florida. From young Communists in Havana, young government officials, one hears, with the revolutionary euphoria, a persistent self-criticism. They feel that as city-dwellers they are physically inferior.
It is as though the effort to be demanded of Havana is physical rather than moral or psychological. We have been, they say, like a parasite feeding off the rest of the island. We have consumed, and we have not produced. We are bureaucrats, and we have not worked.(…)
No one seems to know when the new, whole Havana will be a reality. But the vision of a productive city in a productive nation is one which is closely tied to the psychic roots of the revolution. Cuban life in the last ten years has been circumscribed by a collection of repudiations: the young revolutionaries want a new, indigenous pattern of economic development; a new, indigenous metropolis; a new, indigenous social morality.”
