How to overthrow a tyrant
If I think but may not say, or else
I may be punished, I am not free. If pretend in order to survive, I am tied.
If I badly live and cannot protest, I am enslaved. If I die in life and
there is no escape, it is like martyrdom. If in my chains, I can't flee, nor
speak, or wage the war, what do I have left? : just try to eliminate he who
tortures me.
In the field of the Medicine in order to attempt to completely cure a
disease, it is necessary to extirpate its causes from the root as in the
case of a tumor and in other branches of life, like for example in
Mechanics, if the breakage is not eliminated or the defective piece
replaced, the problem will persist. It means that in almost all cases going
to the core will save losses of all kinds. The Cuban case is not different
since it is a tumor whose center is its leader and if people cannot
overthrow the regime due to the steel-like repressive system, if
economically it will not fall either no matter how many embargoes or
blockades may be devised, if there are no hopes of a spontaneous change, of
an incredible resignation or of an improbable coup d'etat, if the
executioner's life extends, if a war would mean a greater loss , if there
are no allies nor anyone who may listen to us. The game is closed again and
then the only thing left to do would be to continue speaking of what we will
do when the punishment is over without knowing how or when this will happen.
What solution would remain to avoid this? To eliminate the Loch Ness
Monster, to get rid of Cerberus and open the doors of purgatory. The
question: who will do it? It is easy to say it because almost nobody would
dare, and besides there have been many failed attempts and the legend of the
enchanted dragon as untouchable extends and mistifies more and more every
day, but the cause is worth insisting and not saving the means, of which
there are plenty, aside from monetary funds and power. And then another
question, that many have already thought of, can be posed: why not wait,
once more, for a trip, a visit, a negligence and be smarter than the enemy
on this occasion and strike that unknown blow longed for by so many? Why not
do to the emperor imitator the same those received as a farewell?
Why doesn't anyone arise who may not have anything to lose; somebody who
would anyway not care to perish in the attempt and his heirs would be
benefited? Will it perhaps be due to lack of interest?
