Thoughts?

Personally i think that Fidel will become a "Father of the nation" type figure who will give his now expert advice to the new younger leadership on certain issues.

Fidels younger brother Raul wont become leader as his wife has just died and he is only 4 years younger than Fidel (So he isnt apart of this younger generation that Fidel doesnt want to hold back).

Raul, who is said to be very shy, will most likely stay as head of the military where he is most happy.

Fidel is already the father of Cuba and the role model for other socialist countries following hislead.

I always thought Castro would die before he stepped down.

Hello all, Fidel is not perfect, Raul is not perfect, cubans leaders are not perfect, Cuba has a lot of poverty and problems [because of the economic-block]. Cuba is not perfect, Cuba is not a socialist system, but a state-social welfare capitalist system. However if it wasn't for the 1959 Cuban Revolution, Cuba would be like Guatemala, Salvador, Panama, and most third world capitalist satellite nations of USA which are sex and drugs oligarchic tax free paradises in which a small clake of oligarchic cartels live like kings and monarchs and the great majority under subhuman animal conditions

I agree with you in full. Cuba is not socialist. But it is better off than other comperable states and it has stood up to imperialism.
