Solidarity Bureaucratized
Sandy’s passing across the eastern provinces and the catastrophic consequences have left me with the following questions:
Why must all solidarity by necessity pass through government channels?
Why don’t the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDRs) ask their members to bring support to the offices of each Zone?
Why doesn't the Federation of Cuban Woman (FMC) ask the women affiliated with it to bring something to the organization’s Blocks?
Why don’t the Pioneer organizations invite the children to donate some school uniforms?
Why doesn't the Association of the Combatants of the Revolution ask its members to offer to help the victims?
Are they waiting to receive orders from higher authorities or will their own hearts dictate their supportive conduct?
