Castro Admits Cuba Economic Model Sucks

HAVANA | Wed Sep 8, 2010 2:28pm EDT


Okay, he didn't actually say that Cuba sucks but, he is quoted as saying, after being asked if Soviet style communism is good enough to spread around to the world, "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore."

Goldberg said Julia Sweig, a Cuba expert at the Council on Foreign Relations think tank in Washington who accompanied him to Havana, believed Castro's words reflected an acknowledgment that "the state has too big a role in the economic life of the country."
Really? It took this long to realize this? Well, maybe experience has turned the man around and, perhaps helped him grow and develop some brain cells, even in his old age. Gotta give him credit for admitting communism doesn't work. Now, let's just hope people listen.
