Cuba 50 Years After

After so many years, people’s hopes for the revolution’s future are hardly revolutionary. 50 years after a national uprising, held by Fidel Castro, and the adoption of communist ideology, an island in the Caribbean – Cuba – is the only country in the Americas with the communist political system. Many Cubans are middle-aged and older continue to support the regime of the Castro brothers and the idea of the Cuban Revolution. Since the 1990’s, Cuba is struggling with chronic economic crisis, and the young Cubans appeal to changes in the economy.
