Ultimate “triumph” of Cuba’s So-called Revolution: Destitute squatters in “illegal” shacks challenge Castro dictatorship

From our ever-busy Bureau of Socialist Social Justice

Free education, free health care, free housing, guaranteed income.

Wow. Socialism must be wonderful!

Yeah, sure. Take a look at these images from a shantytown built by homeless Cubans who have become squatters on vacant land near a textile factory.

The factory belongs to the Castro regime, of course, along with all the land on the entire island.

So, local authorities continually harrass the squatters, impose fines on them, destroy their shacks. But now that there are about five hundred Cubans living there, the authorities are finding it ever more difficult to dislodge them.

We all know how this will end, of course. Castro, Inc. will not allow the survival of any such proof of their total failure.

Above all, these Cubans have dared to show some initiative of their own. That is totally unacceptable, perhaps one of the worst mortal sins any Cuban can commit.

“Since I built my little house, the inspectors arrived and fined me: 500 pesos for misappropriation of the land, 1,000 pesos for not demolishing and 300 pesos for illegally connecting to the electricity. I have not been able to pay the fines. I do not have a ration book “, says Idelfonso Rodríguez, a 27-year-old bicycle taxi driver.

This community was built spontaneously, starting in 2005, by migrants from the eastern provinces, especially Guantánamo. These began to settle illegally in lands surrounding the textile factory known as Alquitex, officially named “Rubén Martínez Villena”, attached to the Ducal Textile Company of the Light Industry Business Group.

They baptized it as the precarious houses on the outskirts of Guantánamo, in turn named after the quimbos of Angola, the miserable huts that Cuban soldiers knew during the military intervention in the African country.

Los Quimbos de Alquízar are made up of around 100 marginal homes in which more than half a thousand people live, without water, sewers and many without electricity. The residents also live under permanent siege from the authorities, who have demolished several shacks and heavily fined the residents of the community.

  1. This is what the “revolution” truly is and truly does, but it does not fit the PC narrative, so it’s ignored.
