During an emergency like this take advantage of the chaos and confusion by over powering and killing the leadership that just took over from Castro.

Communism is an economic system.

Cuba's economy is a mixed economy.

Go there sometime and you'll see for yourself that Cubans overwhelmingly support their mixed system.

Wtaf? Cubans in Cuba overwhelmingly support their system. Comments like yours emanate from the extremist right wing nuts on Calle Ocho in Miami.
