Many Cubans wouldn't even say 'when Castro dies,' preferring the much more subtle phrasing, 'when Fidel ceases to exist physically.' Now, though, the 76-year-old Cuban leader himself has begun planning for the post-Castro era and hopes for a legacy that strengthens the utopian ideals of the 1959 revolution, U.S. and Cuban analysts say." (DALLAS MORNING NEWS) This article discusses Fidel Castro's plans for a post-Castro Cuba. Despite his strong outlook, "skeptics don't envision such a rosy future. More than four decades of socialism drove Cuba into ruin, they say, and it will take years of reconstruction to bring it even close to Western standards.".
