One small step for Cuba

Cubans can now stay in Cuban hotels. This is a small step by Raul, but a very good step nonetheless. Neither democracy nor capitalism will sweep into Cuba tomorrow, but with someone besides that idiot Fidel at the helm, some level of reform will trickle in. Like other socialist states before it, Cuba will gradually reform itself, esp its markets, and then become more “democratic-like” in the coming decades.

Expect a gradual process.

Unless there’s a coup or outside intervention by Cuba’s big neighbor.

    A very interesting step to building a class society.
