I guess 60 years of failed socialism, poverty, and falling behind the likes of Columbia and Nicaragua in terms of quality of life was enough...

Thou take note here, the people still do not have any power in the politics...nope- once you surrender that, you never get it back.

They smell opportunity.

The state can still own and control everything, under capitalism, as it does in china.

?? What lol

China is not a capitalist society or economy

The Cuban Gov't is doing this because they cannot afford the social safety net anymore, they are collapsing. If this pans put in the next 5 years, then austerity can be means tested.

That is what they are doing here...this is very cyclical human history- nothing new here.

You think venezuela, north korea or cuba care about collapse.
