The causes of Cuba’s uprising lie at home

All this poses an extraordinary challenge to the dull bureaucrats who rule Cuba, after the death of Fidel and the retirement of his younger brother, Raúl, earlier this year.. “Revolutionaries, to the streets,” urged Miguel Díaz-Canel, the president who this year took the helm of the Communist Party, unleashing troops, police and loyalist mobs wielding baseball bats. At least one person was killed. Scores have been detained and the government has sporadically cut access to the internet.

They have plenty to complain about. The pandemic has shut off foreign tourism, aggravating the economy’s lack of hard currency. Raúl Castro launched economic reforms, but they were timid and slow, permitting only minuscule private businesses. It was left to Mr Díaz-Canel to take the most momentous step, by ordering a big devaluation in January. Without measures to allow more private investment and growth, that has merely triggered inflation.

Mr Díaz-Canel faces a choice: to turn Cuba into Belarus with sunshine, or to assuage discontent by allowing more private enterprise and greater cultural freedom. That could weaken the army and the Communist Party, but it would eventually salvage some of the revolution’s original social gains.

mark4harrison Some uprising! All those arrested were released in evening and the big crowd was of Govt supporters. Better if US stopped unjustified WW2 style blockade - which, among other things, prevents the import of modern medications like penicillin.

The Marxist government thrives on tourist dollars. A pittance of it helps the people. Cuba

To all readers, Most of the photos of protesters used by bourgeois media to slander Cuba are photos of Cuban people supporting the Cuban Communist Party and protesting the US blockade against Cuba! 😂😂😂

Open the border and let them walk into the USA; the problem is solved.

It's not about the Embargo nor the Pandemic. It's is about FREEDOM Democracy SOSCuba CUBALIBRE LIBERTAD 🇨🇺🇺🇸

The ugly side of this tragedy is that USA blacks have taken an aloof approach to the rioting in Cubans by mainly blacks because America has separated Latin blacks from American blacks, by convincing the former they're not black (see gif for Zoe Saldana, below), but 'Hispanic'.

Gonna make your base mad 😂 progressively democratic socialist is Communist.
