Reply #1: Cuba moves away from communism [View All]

Thus we can say the words of Fidel, the Cuban model does not work in Cuba, are the way the news reported them. Now they move away from communism to create a middle class of entrepeneurs, bourguesie which will act as a counter weight to the entrenched oligarchy, which is not really communist, but opportunist.

This is repeating the pattern in many other nations, when communism fails, it is changed from the inside, as the society revolts from within. Fidel Castro, an old man, realizes the revolt is to happen whether he likes it or not, and thus he tries to channel its energy. But this move will fail, because the changes do not give the opportunity for the true rise of a market economy.

If the US does end the embargo, then the regime will not have any more excuses, and I am sure gradually Cuba will become more like Brazil or some other normal country, instead of the poverty island it is, full of smart, educated, and miserable people.
