Cuba’s new President in waiting wants to make the Communist Party more open without democratizing the system.

Its a change in style not in behavior. That’s what Gorbachev tried to do at first but came to eventually realize more radical changes were needed.

Democratizing the Soviet Union was the beginning of a long road. Dismantling the totalitarian state in Cuba will take even longer.

I can hear the future press conference of President for Life Diaz-Canel.

Report asks President for Life Diaz-Canel "how many politicians last year were recalled because they failed to fulfill their responsibilities?"

President for Life Diaz-Canel answers "Zero".

Reporter asks President for Life Diaz-Canel "so no one claimed any politicians failed to fulfill their responsibilities?"

President for Life Diaz-Canel answers "That, is a different question.....".

I was there on a mission trip last week. My friends there are hopeful, but expect no changes.

Yep. If a citizen gets out of line the Communist government will immediately respond in the traditional communist way.
