What will stay of Cuba

... there is a historical polemic about the socialistic character of Cuba for many years.

In my opinion, this polemic is based on certain questions of soaked enough that have to do with the legal entitlement of the means of production in the island, less of the principal ones, as well as of the ground. But, frankly, leaving aside this question, which becomes at times a little Byzantine, the true thing is that scarcely possible socialism recognition stays as soon as about one the eye to the grotesquely discriminatory treatment towards the population as regards the tourism; or as soon as it is repaired in the slightly subtle detour of the legal look towards the prostitution generalized in tourist areas; or towards the wide sleeve with which the authorities treat the businessmen who go there «to do homeland»; or, clearly, towards the notable prevailing racism and homophobia in a society whose culture is not in that differently from that of many other countries of his environment (although fifty years of supposed socialism should have given to change these things a bit).
