As for the market economy coming in, it's not only there, it's been there for quite a while, and while Gucci doesn't appeal to me, either, even now that I could afford it if I wanted to be stupid and go hungry, they have repaired the building they're in and worked on cleaning up the area.

I would strongly hope they transition to a mixed economy like other formerly Communist countries have done, keeping the best of socialism and adding the quick response to consumer demand that capitalism is good at.

The iron fist will probably die with the Castros. What I hope most of all is that medicine stays socialist there, from research to patient care. There is a lot to admire about their system, even if it's Spartan by our standards (at least for people who can afford it here).
