Well, I did not see this coming. The BBC reports that Cuba is about to open up most of its economy to private ownership.
Cuba!
Cuba has announced it will allow private businesses to operate in most sectors, in what is a major reform to its state-controlled economy.
“…major reform…”? It’s the communists admitting defeat. Because:
The communist country’s economy has been hit hard by the pandemic and US sanctions introduced by the Trump administration.
Last year its economy shrank by 11% – its worst decline in almost three decades – and Cubans have been facing shortages of basic goods.
Well, we did have toilet paper shortages here, but that was mainly because people panic-hoarded when they didn’t need to. It wasn’t due to decades of abusive state policy.
Experts on Cuba’s tangled and complicated economy say the step essentially opens up almost all economic activity on the island to some form of private enterprise, the BBC’s Will Grant in Havana says.
This will be a significant shot in the arm for those families and individuals who harbour hopes of moving beyond just the very small businesses into medium-sized ventures, he notes.
The Beeb just admitted that government control stifles the economy and that that’s a bad thing.
This is a significant shift. While Democrats in the allegedly capitalist United States lurch ever more socialist, one of the last holdouts from the Soviet communist sphere is abandoning the revolution. AOC will be crushed if someone reads this to her. And what about Bernie and his bros?
Who am I kidding? They still think socialism is fine, it just hasn’t been tried by the right people yet. It hasn’t been branded as “equity” and pitched in Instagram videos by a millennial politician up to now.

No. The key word is "most". Which is Commuspeak for the approved politically connected.
They’ll end up with the a CCP model economy.
It would be a defeat if whichever Castro crony is currently running that country would dissolve the government and invite President Dr. Trump to buy the property.
Look for the new communist government of the U.S. to find ways to interfere. A free Cuba is not acceptable!
From my understanding, the average Cuban has been living under Venezuelan style poverty for generations.
They know that only a few miles north in Florida, the quality of life could be much better.
Precisely. Check out research which US banks (there WAS only one in S. FL which was an obmaumao commie FRONT bank, when he was dancing with Raul Castro- to handle the “transactions” for the Castros essentially). THIS HAS BIDEN’s (really obamaumao’s greasy hands with his a@@buddy Trudeau and the corporatist socialist Canadian companies!), handlers (the puppeteer right down the road in DC, and all of the Commies in DC).
Most FReepers do not know the current arrangement the Castros have with Canada.. in particular Canadian Nickel Mining concern (a “private” business in the Castro terminology)=== it is Toronto based Sherritt International.
They PAY the Castros for the mineral rights, Castros supply the nearly slave labor to extract the ore and Canada ships it (or may refine it onsite, can’t recall). What do the Castro’s pay the slave labor— it is all here:
IT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT TRUMP’s doing— he never did this— this is what obamaumao was doing with the Castros— you know- when they brought the stinking Rolling Stones for a “concert for the People” of Cuba (none of the real people of Cuba attended and the USA paid these scum a@@holes to come play for the foreign legations and their families and Cuban gov apparatchiks. Secret police were ALL over the place. So sick of this crapola.
“They’ll end up with a CCP model economy.”
Exactly.
They have been restructuring toward that for years, on the political front.
It is the desired end state of the US Democratic party as well.
The Princelings of the political elite will get a big juicy stake in every business of note, and be able to rig any major transaction for their profit. Every big business will have political commissars on board, to ensure that whatever the newest whim of the Party elites, it is immediately enacted. Anyone who bucks will be summarily dismissed.
This will be the cover story for the Biden Admin to bail out the Cuban communist Party, with the lifting of all sanctions, and a hundred different streams of US taxpayer funded aid (”family planning”, COVID, agriculture, business loans, carbon offsets, coral research, etc., etc.).

Corporatism and Neo-Feudalism
Repeating: Trump’s policies toward Cuba were AGAINST everything OBAMAUMAO (the puppeteer of JoeBama the Turd Term of the turd mack daddy bi-boy, paedo pal of Raul Castro, and of course Justin Trudeau) set up. Trump/Treasury shut down a S. FL bank created by obamaumao thugs to handle “transactions” including those payoffs for family to “visit” Cuba (code words for “dealers”)
PJ MEDIA has it completely... WRONG. And the little Fascist Leftist dopers are all praising JoeBama for his “brilliance”, and “mercy” for the covid harm on the cubans-— utter bullcrap.
Trump’s policies to Cuba (which of course no one in the article cites Pompeo—who WOULD KNOW) were to stop the Iranian and CHI-COM oil and subsidy being laundered through Venezuela.
Does anyone HERE remember all that? Maduro, Chi-Coms, Fentanyl from China through US border by Mexican Cartel mules and sacrificed desperate illegals?
Here’s a photo of obamamao the first, sucking face with the known paedophile former head of Cuba, and former head of Cuban secret police— a real pervo child trafficker (it pays better than all the cocaine they were allowing transhipment from/over Cuba) for obamamao to relate to
Remember, Raul is still alive and “advising” the Totalitarian regime while managing his and Fidel’s Banco de Cuba accounts.
(take a look at Raul’s “security” ape in the first photo. Yes, they are “down” for the black man. More bull Commie crap!
Holy crap— how stupid are the people at PJ media— or have they done a favour for Romney and Rubio to pin this on Trump with a spin.
The date on the “unifying” BASEBALL game— Tampa DevilRays vs. Cuban national team ...was, are you ready for this, in the context of the spying already done on Trump by obamaumao and his GANG OF THUGS (the Commie Brennan)... The DATE was
MARCH 22, 2016
There is no more CLEAR example of the not so shadow Commie obamaumao continuing HIS policies and of his Venezuelan pals by RUNNING the demented brain substitute JoeBama... the Turd Term of obamaumao the First. None clearer— and they think they are clever with JoeBama as the cutout. This is against EVERYTHING Trump was doing to free up the trafficking in children. Hitlery was to continue the TRADE. Remember?
The Election Steal accomplished this— but ALL involved are guilty of foreign influenced (Chi-Coms and even Cuba cutouts) destruction of our National Security. It is that large. And they are all.. all of them, obamaumao especially- Criminals.
Been on the countdown 3 2 1 until Biden spitefully reverses Trumps ban on Cuba travel.
Oh wait, he sort of did when the ChinaVirus stopped all ships from going to Cuba, and everywhere.
They might be following the Chinese/Democrat model.
Socialism + Corporatism = Fascism.
It’s a new world that’s going to be worse than communism or fascism.
The Great Rest, Build Back Better...is just around the corner.
Tech and the billionaires will convince you that you don’t want to do things your way, well, not if you want to eat.
Let’s just call it Simon Sez world.
And don’t forget the means by which all that money will be kicked back to the demonrats and the DNC. She was formerly the Finance Minister of Ukraine (under the Russian Stooge whom Biden threatened to fire the prosecutor of Burisma, for the sake of his crackhead son on the Board. Oh, and Cofer Black, the campaign manager for Romney on the Board, still).
Her name: Natalie Jaresko. She left Ukraine (having kicked NGO US money back under the direction of our “ambassador” whom Trump fired.. the Russian Born Canadian Naturalized Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch- remember the first “impeachment” trial?)
Louis Gohmert posted video of his questioning of the Jaresko woman, in the dem run committee that appointed her to:
THE DEBT COMMISSIONER of US Territory— Puerto Rico (not too far from Cuba.... of course). Which is WHERE SHE IS NOW AS A A US appointee— a ‘banker’! Recall also that right after contiguous with the appointment and the government shutdown— the DEMs met in Puerto Rico! The Hispanic Congressional Caucus “BOLD” meeting. Here’s the info— the first photo is of Sen. Menenedez (D-NJ) putting the make on a chickie on the beach. Menendez is of course Cuban/American- and had just beaten a bribery corruption rap with teenage girls procured by his eye doctor pal (who is in the federal pen for Medicare massive fraud, and who pimped teen girls to Menendez. Yes— another paedo connection to obi-won and Raul Castro). This was in January, 2019 in the midst of a government SHUTDOWN. Natalie Jaresko was appointed in March of 2017— so already in place for them to set up the kickback schemes all over again.
So- what will Rubio say to all this? him being on Intel now and anti-Trump and of shall we say questionable predilections?
What the Great Reset has in common with both Communism and Fascism is that the rulers change the rules at their whim, and demand conformity to the constantly changing rules.
The crazier the rules, the better!
The purpose of these constant insane changes is to demoralize the masses so they give up all hope.
“They’ll end up with the a CCP model economy.”
Which is kicking ass everywhere.
They should be so lucky.
In just a few decades since China opened up to capitalism they’ve gone from “finish eating what’s in you plate, kids in China are starving” to the world’s second biggest economy, soon to be the first.
I suggest you take a trip to China - it will open your eyes.
