For over half century, Cuba was under the influence of communist system, and many people were unable to live the life they always want to. Many people fled the country due to hunger and political instability. The former president of Cuba, Fidel Castro first time in recent interview with the press, admitted that country's political policy and economic policy simply won't work for its people. So, I just wonder, is it that mean they will undergo a revolutionized economic and political change?
Just like their counterpart China, they also undergo many political and economic change. Nominally they are still communist China, but overview, their policy isn't communist at all. Nowadays, they become one of the top economy powerhouse of the world. What do you think of it?

Wow, it is all over the news. Something people just have to face the reality. The system simply won't work. And many fugitive fled that country to seek a better life somewhere else. what do you think of that. They should undergo some sort of political reform.

I didn't hear that he said that, that is very surprising indeed. But yes, I think we will see some changes in Cuba, the only question is when and what they will look like. But it will not stay like it is now, that's for sure.

You have to understand, people can't suffer forever. Once the citizens gain their momentum, they will revolutionize the whole country. For instance, Russia is a great example. It dissolved to many pieces, and the Berlin Wall eventually tumbled down. People's force is greater, and it is always great. History has it written all over.

How can you expect economic policy that reward communist party officials handsomely over the hardwork of its working people to be successful, it is just impossible in reality for a nation. In the text book of communist, it is considered a huge success economically in a totalitarian society whenever and wherever the communist party central commmittee can reap enomours profit from the policy, the fact here is communist officials are not interested in economic policy that benefit the masses except themselves, al these talks about bringing prosperity to the population base on communist economic policy is just political rhetoric and slogan that can work wonder in theory but not reality.
