We all know that good ol' Castro is getting up there. That is why I think it is time we ask ourselves "How will cuba be after his death?" "who will take over" and "will cuba still be communist or will the U.S. bully the new leader into ending its communist ways?"
What do you all think?

Isnt Raul, castros brother, the second in command? He faught along side of Castro and Che, although he disliked Che. I think Raul will take Castos place.

I think Raul is the officially designated successor, but I'm not sure. I talked to a Cuban who came to our school once(not a gusano, but someone from Cuba just visiting) and she said the people like Raul, but that he really doesn't have the same support of the people as he's more of a military man.
I thought Che and Raul liked each other, both being communists. I can't remember though, I read that bigass Che biography a while ago.
Yeah, Raul's only like a couple of years younger though so who after him??

Small chance some communist leader will take over after Raul's death. I think this bastard Bush will send his troops at every cost, to make Cuba a capitalist country. The old Batista-days will come back and the gap between poor civilians and rich US investors will grow...
It's sad, but face the facts, the US are powerful and want the world to become one big market, so they can exploit poor people more and manipulate the economy.
lol, after castro? well, thats assuming you mean the family, after Fidel, will come Raul, then you guys seem to think that its over, well the UJC (translates sorta to Young Cuban Communist Leage) they make up 10% or 1 million people of Cuba, they will work with the Cuban Communist Party (5% or .5million people) to (nationally!) elect a new leader, which will be strongly communist/socialist) %15 of the cuban people are IN the government and 85% support it (including the ones in it, so 15% oppose it), so there will no doubt be a continuous revolution in Cuba for some time.
What the CIA and anti-castro forces dont realise is that killing some one isnt going to impact enourmously on the revolution in succeeding to stop it, it will only grow stronger (i.e : Che).
You can feel it in these quotes "You can kill a revolutionary, but you will never kill the revolution" and Che's last words "I know you're here to kill me, go on coward, shoot, you are only going to kill a man".

Ok, at the lecture in Dublin by Aledia Guevara someone asked who would come to power if Fidel died. Immediately after his death Raul becomes leader and shortly afterwards elections would be held to elect the new leader. But Sergio ??? (the other speaker) said in the last election (non presidential one) Raul got 99% of the vote so it looks as if Raul would stay in power.
There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror... --- Mark Twain
Raul and Che were friends as far as I know. They were the two biggest commie influences on Fidel.

Cuba poses no real threat now to America. America even has an airbase there. When Castro dies i think that America will push to a non communist democratic government, that is America's friend, much like West Germany was after ww2.

All I know is that I hope Castro lives a decent amount longer, dies in peace and is buried in Che's guerrilla mausoleum.
He's also intelligent enough a man to have been working on getting his predecessor(s) ready for a long time now. What with all the attempts on his life, etc.
He says that he would ike to step aside and let somebody else take power before he dies
how isnt it commy sabre if u dont mind me asking
Almost all communists agree that a communist society has no currency, at least as is related to wage labor. Cuba does not meet this commonly agreed upon criteria.
well che will live for ever, as for castro only black Cubans will remember him and intellecuals will still remember him but point out his short fall(a lot of them) I know Cuba will prosper so will Che's name. I see a hollywood movie about che do you
cheers
change
Take the mistakes as love
its about time
There's no reason to doubt that the Cuban people will choose their own governement after Fidel, and after Raul.
Anyhow it seems Fidel has enough ligtimate and illegitimate offspring to keep the dynasty going long after all of us....
Let us be judged by how we treat the least among us....Supermodel, rubia y descamisada...
