Respect and transparency that prevail, in our case, over very specific disagreements; happily demonstrating that the former are central, and the latter sometimes aren\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact is that in that festive atmosphere, I asked this person, with point-blank candor, why So-and-so and What\u2019s-his-Name were heading this or that department, this or that institute. Hadn\u2019t he himself appointed them? And he replied, reciprocating my respect and transparency: \u201cMan, those positions are in very low demand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was one of those moments that lingers in memory, and it still shocks me. It was a completely honest, and entirely unacceptable, answer that left me speechless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a while, I took the trouble to ask a few friends or acquaintances who seemed to have the necessary qualifications for those positions if they would be willing to take them on, under certain conditions. Not a single one was.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was true, then. Those positions weren\u2019t attractive. That seemed to me a worse symptom than ordinary corruption. How could anything ever work? Would the traditional acquisition of obscure perks perhaps be a step toward functionality?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With such a premise, any institutional battle was lost from the start, since there was a natural filter at the base, more effective than any selection process: decent and competent people generally didn\u2019t want to hold leadership positions, at any level; and with a few exceptions, those who did didn\u2019t last. And how long had that been the case? That seemed to explain too many things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, every time I hear people clamoring for the resignation or dismissal of an official, I think silently: \u201cThey don\u2019t know what they\u2019re asking for; those positions are in very little demand, at least among decent and competent people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have always been an enthusiastic admirer of many aspects of the Cuban Revolution\u2019s cultural policy. Ensuring, for example, that the shelves of Cuban homes were filled with good books for several generations was simply wonderful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is above all in its desire to make culture accessible to everyone that the Revolution has struck me as genuinely revolutionary; that is, genuinely effective. This is not the case in preventing farmers from being legitimate owners of their lands and livestock, nor in preventing workers from being legitimate owners of the means of production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have never (voluntarily) studied socioeconomic issues; therefore, I caution that my opinions in this field could be superficial, at best. But since I now feel that such issues have become pressing, I would like to briefly, and with all humility and caution, share my point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the German Marxists who were exiled in the United States, Switzerland and other countries during World War II returned to their homeland, they found that it was now two countries: the GDR, socialist, and the FRG, capitalist. But these scholars and philosophers did not see Marx\u2019s ideas reflected in the GDR or the USSR. Having studied them all their lives, the story that Marx\u2019s ideas were the fundamental foundation of those societies could be told to anyone but themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These thinkers \u2014 Mark Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, and many others \u2014 known collectively as the Frankfurt School, dedicated themselves primarily to critiquing capitalism, fascism, and socialism in its Soviet form, exported to so many other countries, including Cuba, with various sub-variants. Accessing the thinking of these orthodox Marxists in our country for years was as difficult as accessing the books of free-market apologists \u2014 economists like Milton Friedman or Friedrich Hayek. Could it be that they have common ground?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The laws of economics are universal for all practical purposes, like those of any other science, regardless of who enunciates them. And any social system that seeks to ignore them (Marx certainly did not ignore them) will prove unviable in direct proportion to its stubbornness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ortega y Gassett said that circumstances provide us with the necessary leverage to find our true purpose. And in the realm of commercial activity, it is the laws of the market that provide the feedback essential for success. This doesn\u2019t seem incompatible with socialism. What it does seem incompatible with is the primacy of state ownership, at least as it is known in Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most serious and most obvious defect of the omnipresent Cuban state enterprise is that, since it is not subject to the laws of the market, its feedback system for correcting its actions ranges from poor to nonexistent. This, and nothing else, is the crux of our present misery. I don\u2019t question the original humanist vocation of the Revolution; I only note that the impunity of its actions leads it down the path of failure, to the threshold of crime, and toward the dark side of history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, since almost no one can truly feel that state ownership is their own, it benefits from almost no one\u2019s initiative. A common expression in Cuba that always grated on my ears is \u201cprivate initiative.\u201d As if there were any other! All initiative is individual, private, by nature. Therefore, anyone who opposes private initiative is simply opposing initiative. Where is a society headed that, despite its widespread lack of resources, so radically curtails its own vital force? Or whose best sons are either deemed unfit for leadership positions, or who themselves deliberately or instinctively avoid them?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a certain point in the history of music in the 20th century, what was revolutionary consisted of composing using mathematical formulas, or using other procedures that excluded inspiration, which was seen as antiquated, unreliable, excessively romantic, or bourgeois.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is difficult today to find the works of that musical avant-garde, or even to have heard the names of those composers, enthusiastic about their doctrine, who considered themselves revolutionaries in their time. Posterity, or rather oblivion, has been implacable with them. A part of Cuba has also died, due to a similar obfuscation, due to attachment to external formulas and neglect of its own strengths, its own gifts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there is always another part that struggles, that escapes all certainties, all denials, all doubts, \u201cfrom the black cloud to the deep blue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The laws of economics are universal for all practical purposes, like those of any other science, regardless of who enunciates
