This is incredibly cool.

https://en.granma.cu/cuba/2022-05-19/families-plural

quote:

Recognizing the existence in Cuba of multiple family structures that break with the traditional model is among the most significant elements of the new Families Code, being drafted.
Accepting the plurality evident in Cuban society when it comes to this fundamental unit, allows for the inclusion and protection of families that break from the most traditional and conservative models, providing them rights and opportunities.
It also gives our law a profoundly inclusive character and opens the doors to the elimination of backward prejudices that no longer have a place in a just society like Cuba�s.
The truth is, as renowned experts in diverse family matters have stated, that this is a code honoring the bonds of affection and love, on which families are truly built.

THE FIRST STEPS�
The broad popular consultation before the referendum that approved the current Constitution was undoubtedly the first sign of the need for a Families Code more in line with the changes and growing diversity of Cuban families environment over time.
The controversies generated in the debate of articles such as the marriage between two people, instead of a man and a woman, showed there was a wide sector of the population struggling to have those unions recognized, another that knew little or nothing about it, and a third that still harbors backward ideas on that matter.
Finally, article 81 of the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba provides that �the State recognizes and protects the family, no matter how it is organized, as the basic cell in society and it creates the conditions to guarantee that its purposes may be achieved as a whole. Families may be constituted legally or by common law, based on love and the equality of rights, obligation and opportunities for its members.�
If we read this article carefully we can see some concepts that are now reflected in the bill of the new Families Code.
It can be said then that the bill embraces a principle of respect to plurality and lead us towards a more comprehensive vision of what we see as the fundamental unit of society.

THE EYES OF LOVE
People say everything is possible when we look at it with the eyes of love. Therefore, during these months, with the support of experts and from within the homes and the communities, a broad popular consultation has been conducted, during which the draft code was widely accepted as the codes of affection.
Deconstructing patterns deeply rooted in the collective mentality is not an easy task, but the first step is to begin with respect and acceptance.
We must be aware that this is not at all about proving that the traditional family does not exist anymore. This structure is common, and will remain, without a doubt. The purpose is to understand there are other family structures, which also deserve protection.
A family can also be a single mother, or father, who raises their children alone. A family can be one in which the spouses are of the same sex. Or one composed only of grandparents and grandchildren because the parents are out of the picture. Ultimately, it is the space where affective ties are strong enough to allow for the construction of a unit in which all members have the same rights and opportunities.
As the Act states, �Different family structures, based on a relationship of affection, are created among relatives, whatever the nature of the relationship, and between spouses or in common-law unions.�
�The members of the families are bound to perform family and societial duties on the basis of love, affection, consideration, solidarity, fraternity, co-participation, protection, responsibility and mutual respect.�
In other words, a family is not successful based on its structure or the number of members.
A family is a social structure that recognizes itself as such and takes on the duties and responsibilities it entails.

THE �OTHER� FAMILIES
Given the real possibility (from the legal standpoint) of being recognized and supported in terms of rights, several families that do not
fit the traditional structure have opened the doors to their lives, which usually remain close because they are usually the target of accusing looks who judge them because of their ignorance rather than truly discriminatory feelings.
It is not strange that people reject what they do not know or want to keep their eyes shut when facing something they consider taboo.
Nonetheless, both in popular consultation meetings, the mainstream media and social networks, new platforms have been opened to disseminate testimony to this reality, demonstrating that love and true feelings are capable of shattering barriers and that, many times, dreams and expectations are no different from those of traditional families.
Families in which there is only one parent, the spouses are of the same sex, or grandparents are in charge of raising the children, to present just a few examples, in no way produce a bad upbringing, or internal conflicts of greater complexity or dysfunctionality.
If we let prejudice and established patterns condition our thinking, we will lose the wonderful opportunity to understand the world and therefore, to be a better part of it.

WE DO NOT CHOOSE OUR FAMILIES, OR DO WE?
Many times, people say that we do not choose our family. It is what it is. If you like it or not, well, there is no choice.
Although it is not possible to change blood relation objectively speaking, this is a very relative statement when it comes to the subjective aspect of it. Truth is that, beyond the family environment a person grows up in, everyone has the right to form their own family, with their own particularities. A family in which a human being can feel truly fulfilled and happy.
As varied as the family structures that surround us, or more, are the ideas that people have as to what they call a family.
Precisely, the first family right provided in the bill of the new Families Code is the opportunity to build one. Of course, the principles on which a family should be built are clearly stated in the new bill and they all have a central idea, dignity is the supreme value when it comes to the relationships within the family.
Hence, if the family we want, the one we dream about, the one that meets our expectations as human beings, is indeed chosen and built, there is no doubt it will always be our shelter and support.

ALL FAMILIES, ALL MODELS
The bill of the new Families Code, if approved, will be an instrument of profound scope that will be among the most advanced currently in force in our continent. And this says a lot about the path the Cuban society has taken.
Under the principle that love is the first condition a family needs to exist, the new Families Code has the merit of broadening the concepts of inclusion we have known so far, of putting a name to what we could not practically name one day, of moving forward toward the naturalization of family structures whose status in matter of rights have remained uncertain for years.
This document, of which any Cuban who has read it can speak at length, is a major qualitative leap towards one of the primary targets of our social system: to fight all types of discrimination.
This code is a mirror that truthfully reflects the families that exist in Cuba today.

Yes that is essentially it. From what I have gathered this is something that they are still planning on codifying but it has yet to pass the legislature.

America Inc.: Nov 22, 2013; I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

I was listening to El Hilo yesterday and they made an interesting argument about the right in the US vs Latin America:

Trump won in the US because there are lots of Americans that want to go back to the past; the country is in decline. In Latin America, the right is trying to copy Trump but that's a losing strategy almost everywhere except Brazil because most people don't want to go back to the past of military dictatorships, poverty, and violence. The best times for Latin America are in the future and not the past.

A common characteristic of Latin American countries is that they've never fully been able to move beyond the kind of latifundia-derived plantation politics that have dominated the new world since it was originally colonized. That makes it objectively reactionary in a way that has clear definition, as opposed to the kind of sentimentality-driven conservative politics in the United States. In Latin America liberals and leftists aren't like more progressive forms of conservatives, they're seeking a radical transformation in society and economy so that their countries can become truly modern and overcome the rule of landed aristocracy.

Some countries like Brazil might be more developed than others, but the impositions of semifeudalism continue to assert themselves.

The United States on the other hand was so powerful we got to define "modernity" for the latter half of the 20th century. The only direction to go from the top is down, and the sensation of decline is what gets people to believe that they can still claw their way back to a time when their power and privilege was unassailable.

absurd to think that ecuador, which had such a strong left party under correa, is going to be one of the only right wing south american states. Lenin moreno really one of the worst of all time. hopefully lasso gets kicked to the curb

This is particularly bad because Petro was saying he wants to move the country away from extraction-based economies so this is like the worst pick you could possibly imagine. Apparently Petro is also talking with Álvaro Uribe and trying to appease the center and right.

I hope Francia Márquez can move her weight around as VP and push Petro more left.
