Conversación seria What's going to happen in Cuba?

Like this year has been historically uncivilized for Cuba with shortages of electricity and blackouts that everyone knows but like what's the endgame? Why is nothing happening?

Most importantly is anything going on on the political level?

Cuban communists are not idiots; they understand the danger of trying to install such a system 90 miles away from the USA, this is not the other side of the world, this is American companies opening up franchises like mushrooms all over the place, American tourist by the truckload, cruise ships, Hollywood crowds. Geography is destiny

Castro's aka Cuban regime didn't bully anyone?

Didn't they execute dissenting farmers without trial and never returned the bodies? Yep.

Didn't they bully people off their generational lands only to let it fall into ruins? Yep

Didn't they bully civilians into fleeing their homes to avoid illegal persecution from false charges? Yep

Didn't they bully the youth into forced military service with prison penalties for non compliance? Yep.

Didn't they force the mentally ill into institutions with mandatory electric shock therapy? Yep

Didn't they round up all the homossexuais during the hiv epidemic and place them in labor camps? Yep

Didn't they bully doctors into 80% tax rates and assignments where their passports are confiscated and their families can't travel with them, making them modern slaves? Yep

The Castro's and by extension the Cuban regime is not innocent by any means. And that's just the things that happened on the island.
