A-Infos (en) Cuba, Statement from the Alfredo López Libertarian Workshop in Havana (ca, de, it, pt)[machine translation]

We do not accept masters over us or servers under us. We work for a society where 
all public affairs are resolved through the self-organization of those of us who 
live, work, create and love, in Cuba and on the planet. We bear witness, however, 
that the move to such a way of managing our lives in common can only be the 
product of the most profound social revolution. But being radical in our 
conception of socialism and human liberation does not make us strict or extremist 
people, nor does it oppose us to those who sincerely seek ways of dignity. The 
struggle for social guarantees is legitimate, even when its germinative root does 
not reach the ideal immediately - as long as such a root exists-, many of which 
contain living and growing germs of the common society that for now we only dare 
to dream. Defending such germs and sowing the seeds of freedom even if we know 
that it can take millennia to become trees as robust as the kapok trees in our 
fields, is our duty and choice of life.

And for all this:
1. We repudiate any blockade on the Cuban people, imposed either from abroad or 
from within by the United States, United States or not. We radically support the 
full deployment of the creative capacities of our people, their 
self-organization, self-support and self-liberation, in a world that must be more 
supportive and cooperative.

2. We do not support provocations aimed at social explosion. This would be tragic 
in the current circumstances of organizational deterioration of the working 
classes and the most precarious segments of society.

3. We support all forms of self-organization of those who work, live and believe 
in Cuba. By social self-organization we understand undertakings, projects, 
networks, collectives and other endeavors where there is no wage labor, the 
imposition of authority, the cult of personality, the various direct, structural 
or symbolic violence, hyper-competitiveness, bureaucracy, decisions in the hands 
of an elite, the concentration of wealth and the unequal appropriation of 
knowledge. We demand that the country's institutional framework give priority to 
self-organized entities, such as promoting the creation of cooperatives and other 
self-managed collective production and service projects over capitalist 
micro-enterprises and other ventures based on asymmetries. social,

4. In this sense, the organizations that distribute products to the population 
must re-organize themselves as consumer cooperatives, integrating most of this in 
a self-organized way, to fulfill the functions of sale in warehouses and other 
retailers, transportation, collection, without implying theft or corruption.

5. We are opposed to the wage system, but as long as it exists, there must also 
be recognition of a real minimum wage, visibly above the basic basket as minimum 
income for a decent life, which must be public in terms of its composition. and 
be subject to general debate and approval; The due must be paid according to 
working hours and overtime hours and days, the employer must be enforced in all 
work centers the mandatory nature of the collective agreement, unionization 
rights, full access to the resolution of labor disputes by who work, and their 
right to strike.

6. If it has been possible to recognize the legitimacy of representatives of 
liberal tendencies within the Cuban statist political opposition, we consider 
ourselves carriers of the full legitimacy as libertarian socialists and part of 
the organization of the working classes in Cuba; If such recognition has not been 
possible, we will require it for all political opinions.

7. The crime of contempt for authority, as an inheritance of the monarchical 
order, must be abolished, and all persons imprisoned for such acts released.

8. Prison or any other sanction for "record of pre-criminal dangerousness" must 
be abolished immediately as an institution of fascist origin (Rocco Code).

9. We work for full spectrum liberation from all dominations and oppressions, 
especially those of capital, bureaucracy, patriarchy, hypercompetence, 
epistemocracy, coloniality, racism, ethnocentrism, the meddling of powerful 
foreign structures , rampant consumption and ecological predation.

10. Full spectrum means that no one - person or group under oppression - 
liberates himself / herself, not including others, until it reaches the whole of 
society. The release does not admit exclusions.

11. We do not recognize the false and self-destructive "normality" of this world 
as an ideal to which a Cuba should tend to be "a normal country."

12. We are on guard against any movement that, from collectives, processes or 
efforts that aspire to liberation, could lead to the emergence of new and 
dangerous dominations.

The Taller Libertario Alfredo López is an anarchist collective that for years 
supports and promotes experiences related to its anti-authoritarian and 
anti-capitalist principles, and tries to be a timely libertarian voice in this 
archipelago that we call Cuba. He has organized four Libertarian Spring Days in 
Havana, and is currently the principal manager of the ABRA Social Center .
