¿Ha sido Fidel Castro bueno para Cuba?

Via keepmedia, de un lado Carlos Alberto Montaner, del otro Ignacio Ramonet. Eso sí, en inglés, y hay debate.

Montaner:

(…) the Cuban people know that the system Castro created has failed. Every day, they must reckon with the realization that communism has aggravated all of Cuba’s basic material problems to the point of desperation. Food, housing, drinking water, transportation, electricity, communications, and clothing are wants that cannot be compensated for by an extensive but very poor educational and health system.

Ramonet:

Those who argue that after Fidel, Cuba will follow in the footsteps of Eastern Europe stubbornly refuse to see what is already before their eyes. President Fidel Castro has not been on the job since late last July—that is, it’s already been more than five months “after Fidel.â€? And yet, nothing has happened. The regime has not collapsed, nor have the much-anticipated public protests erupted. The system is showing that it can operate normally under these conditions, and the legal institutions are withstanding the shock of Fidel’s withdrawal.

Aquellos uqe crean que el castrismo tiene los días contados, bueno, parece que se equivocan según Ramonet.
