For almost a half century the Castro dictatorship has subjugated the Cuban people. This phenomenon has occurred while world powers disagree as to how to treat Castro’s regime. How can we explain that the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (USSR) collapsed; that Saddam Hussein was removed from power on the other side of the world while Castro still survives?

 

Many "experts" hope that the death of Fidel Castro will be the end of communism in Cuba. They are mistaken; communist ideology has been implanted in the mind of each Cuban from his birth. Now, citizens almost fifty years old do not know another world, or another doctrine than the one of the Castro regime. Their children learn to conform, and to fear the power that rules them. They, as their parents were, are taught to hate Cuba’s enemies and to defend its father, Fidel. Castro is the inspiration for the Cubans who think that he is the leader of the oppressed, leader of the working class, and the leader of proletariat. Cuba will continue on its current course regardless of who seizes power after Castro, and thoughts on democracy and freedom will continue to be suppressed. Cubans do not know any other system.
