Reply #30: I think you're wrong [View All]

While looking at this the other day, I cam across a figure: 60% - that's the percentage of members of the national assembly who were born after the revolution. Sure, most of the high ranking leaders are old men, but that's the case in many countries, especially the US. It was even more so the case when our country was first founded - Adams, Washington, Franklin, etc. were not young men. All of this is beside the point really, because different countries have different forms of government, and that's fine by me - I know that if I had to form a government for some reason that I certainly wouldn't use the US as a model, so I can't blame Cuba for not doing so. I really doubt that capitalism is coming to Cuba - capitalism is now being acknowledged more than ever before in my lifetime as the crime against humanity that it is. While not a wealthy country, Cuba does have a 100% literacy rate and a very educated populace. I think they know when to call a spade a spade.
