“Corruption at the highest levels of government — not the meddling of a small band of dissidents — is the greatest threat to Cuba’s communist system…In reality, corruption is much more dangerous than so-called internal dissent…The latter is isolated , but corruption is truly counterrevolutionary because it comes from within the government and the state apparatus, which are the ones that really control the country’s resources.”

—Esteban Morales, “Corruption: The True Counterrevolution?” National Artists and Writers Union of Cuba, 12 APR 2010
