Will communism end in Cuba after Fidel Castro dies?

Question

I'm not writing a paper on the subject or anything like that; I'm just curious as to your opinions. I did a bit of research into the subject back when I was in college (a couple years ago.) So, do you think the communist regime will be overthrown after Fidel's death (which will hopefully happen sooner rather than later), or will communism persist in Cuba?

Answer 1

I believe that at the moment of weakness as the regime tries to re-gain footing after Castro's death, there will be a coup attempt. I am sure the USA has the CIA poised to facilitate this when it occurs.

I am sure the folks are very tired of living in poverty, or why would they try in mass to immigrate to the US?

When Castro dies, I see a whole new world open up before the Cuban people with development and investments made from American business.

Of course Castro still out lasted 8 presidents and kept each at bay, so he won the game he was playing. The ironic part is the US helped install him in place to begin with. Everytime the US helps someone "come to power" they turn around and bite us. I hope the govenrment learns, but probably not.

Answer 2

A communist regime is akin to a dynastic rule[instead of family,it's the party]. The only way to change in Cuba is by over throwing the communist regime and installing a democratic government.America has a historic role to play in this change.Though some may not agree but the largest and most successful democracy in the world owes it to the rest of the world to propagate and facilitate democratic practices in such places and countries where inhuman conditions have been forced upon the people by degenerates like autocratic rulers, communists and greedy politicians.In this,there is still a HOPE for people of Cuba.

Answer 3

I think that after the death of Fidel Castro, communism in Cuba will probably linger on for a couple of years before finally dying out.

Answer 4

The death of Fidel Castro might change the political climate in Cuba and might become a democracy with US influence.

Answer 5

I don't think so, not right away anyhow. To many people over there grew up in it, like in Russia, even then, after they were introduced to Democracy, they wanted Communism back, it was an easier type of lifestyle. Someone did your thinking for you (the State)
When they "kicked back" to relax, there was no more apple pie, they either had to start working for a living, part of democracy, or starve and, they didn't like that, they still don't.
So, with this in mind, they won't like democracy at first, the next generation will think differently. We'll have to wait and see.

Answer 6

Cuba was the gem of the Caribbean .until Castro took power.i feel the people .would love to have the old Cuba back ...were cruise ships can come and once again be pearl of the Caribbean

Answer 7

Communism is a very obsolete system. I hope it'll end after the death of Fidel Castro. If he really has successors, I hope people won't allow him to jump in.

Answer 8

It would be nice but doubtful there are too many already waiting in the wings. But since they are not the threat they were in the 60's to us I'd like to see the imbargo lifted so we can at least trade with them. It wouldn't make any difference and maybe influence a younger generation to change their country at a later time. Besides I've always wanted to try a cuban cigar and I hear they have some of the best rum and brandy in the world.

Answer 9

Communism in Cuba is more or less washed up.Nobody takes Castro serious anymore.When was the last time you saw Castro yelling anti-american propaganda?
Now there's Hugo Chavez in Venezuela taking his place.

Answer 10

I think his brother will take over and well usually the apple does not fall far from the tree right?
