Will the revolt be bloody? I hear from some Cubans it will be a little violent. Revenge killings from imprisoned political prisoners and their families will go on for years I think.

Hate to put it this way, but it's the truth:

Communism in Russia died with a whimper, not a bang.

And only a few years later, because they didn't "clean up the mess", communist party survivors have reconsolidated and are expanding their once broken power again.

Cuba needs to feed the flame of liberty with the blood of tyrants to do this right. They cannot afford to leave any lingering trace of the old leadership if they truly with to be free. Again, look at Russia...

Communism in Russia died with a whimper, not a bang.

And thank God for that. Because if it had ended with a "bang," that bang would be measured in gigatons. We could not -- the world could not -- afford that risk.

And only a few years later, because they didn't "clean up the mess", communist party survivors have reconsolidated and are expanding their once broken power again.

That's way overstated. Russia is certainly a mess, but the current threat is cronyism, not communism. Russia's apparatchiks have moved from the worst form of communism to the worst form of capitalism in a blink. It isn't about ideology. It's about sheer lust for power.
