Cuba’s CDRs: Comemierdas for the Defense of the Revolution

by

The WaPo has an interesting article about Cuba’s CDR’s. You can read the lengthy and rather non-chalant piece right here.
The CDRs have to be the stupidest people on Earth. Still shoving an ideology down everyone’s throats while the world around them is a crumbled mess. Comemierdas.

  1. I had commented about this story on some other blog recently. The thing that struck me was how open the couple in the photograph was to being captured on film and published internationally. I have so often heard during my visits to the island that – come the end of the dictatorship – these folks are most likely going to be the targets of revenge attacks (something by the way, which I simply don’t condone). Seems as though these two are absolutely clueless. Although – goes without saying . . .

  2. I gotta tell you, had some CDR asswipe been making my life miserable for decades, the moment that government collapses, he’d better be hauling ass, cause he’s the first guy Id go after.

  3. “Carlos Fernandez Gondin” – remember this piece of shit!

    Come the day when they storm the Bastille in Cuba. This guy’s head will be in the top ten in the Cuban Mafia Deck of Cards!

    He is the DOG of DOGS, and the one in charge and overseeing all the daily instruments of repression (CDRs, G2, Rapid Response Brigadas) on the people of Cuba. A direct subordinate of Colome Ibarra, the ‘Heinrich Himler’ of Cuba!

  4. These people are basically whistling in the graveyard. They’re in denial. Many of them probably figure they’re so compromised already that their only chance is to do all they can to prop up the “revolution” and hope the dam doesn’t break. Also, one should remember that people who would lend themselves to this sort of “work” are messed up to begin with, meaning “Garbage in, garbage out.”

  6. asombra,
    I have a feeling your view is correct.
    Don’t get my wrong – I can tell you my family back in Cuba would love nothing more than to beat the living snot out of their local spy network but, I just don’t see who violent reprisals will get the country anywhere. I tend to think we’ll have to incorporate some sort of reconciliation.
    Of course, this isn’t to say that the folks in charge, and those who are responsible for the most egregious rights violations shouldn’t be prosecuted fully.
    My view is simple. I wouldn’t want to see a post-fifo democratic Cuba devolve into a nation employing the same tactics against the perpetrators of the regime’s crimes. Trials, prison terms (no death penalty) and reconciliation. That’s the way I’ve always thought.

  7. I defended the Revolution and Castro for many years. According to your logic, that means I am a comemierda?

  8. Well Bernardo, let’s not devolve into name-calling but, certainly those who defend the subjugation of the Cuban people are enemies of the Cuban state. This isn’t to say that there are thousands upon thousands of people who have seen the error in their original support for the dictatorship and changed sides.

  10. sorry, typo – meant to say “This isn’t to say that there AREN’T thousands upon thousands of people who have seen the error in their original support for the dictatorship and changed sides.”

  12. There are 9 million cederistas en Cuba. Are we planning to hunt them down…of course not..
    I do believe the ones that participated in actos de repudio con violencia and the likes should be punished. The people inside of Cuba will take care of them not the people of Miami that have been on this side of the pond for more than 30 years

  16. There are 9 million cederistas en Cuba. ”
    Eso no me lo invente yo…Do the homework
    Val I was referring to the below assertion
    I gotta tell you, had some CDR asswipe been making my life miserable for decades, the moment that government collapses, he’d better be hauling ass, cause he’s the first guy Id go after.

  17. how do figure 9-million? i’m curious. if only because we’re talking about a nation with a population of between 11 and 12 million. Out of that population, the vast majority in most neighborhoods aren’t card-carrying CDR members.
    seriously, AF – curious.
    Thanks,

  18. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid, if there is a sudden fall of the regime, that violence will erupt against the closest most accessible targets – CDR. Should it happen? No it shouldn’t; but it’s human nature. Not everyone will be walking around with the “I’m not engaging in your same behavior philosophy”.

  19. What the regime fears the most is the people losing their fear.

    The regime’s first (AND ONLY) line of defense to their continued tenure is the INDIVIDUAL and VERY IMMEDIATE repression on its citizens.

    The persistant arrest and intimidation of the one’s, two’s, three’s, etc… by the G2 in colloberation of the CDRs is their KEY!

    The regime knows that if public demonstrations get to the point of requiring a LARGER CRACKDOWN by MILITARY units – theis GAME WILL BE OVER!!!

    They KNOW THIS. That was the regime’s fear during the MALECONAZO!

    When they take to streets again, like the Leipzig demonstrations in Germany 1989, the regime will fall. Castro will order the FAR and MININT to kill the demonstrators. This will cause a break between FAR and MININT units, turning into a short civil war, where the FAR will win, depose Castro and many of his henchmen, free the political prisoners, and the process will commence towards a free and democratic Cuba.

  20. Just read the article. Who are they kidding? The CDR’s were put in place to spy on their neighbors and keep them from organizing an uprising. As far as I can see, they’ve done that well. All their other functions are ancillary.
