"Not that long ago, it was taboo to speak of life in Cuba after Fidel Castro. 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.".
