Cuba: There Will be
No Private Property
A market economy, which rests on the solid foundations of the right to private property, will be inexistent in Cuba whose economy is subordinated, as it has been for more than fifty-one years, to the communist model –also called socialist– that depends on the authoritarian whims of brothers Fidel and Raúl Castro. This has been confirmed, over and over again, by top spokesmen of the regime, most recently by Raúl Castro himself during statements around the anniversary of July 26th.
Tourism is the only thing that contributes to help the wrecked Cuban economy. This is a tourism that exploits the political situation of the country and that thrives from the tyranny that prevails in the economic and social fields. The regime decides at will the way in which the sources of tourism must be managed for the benefit of the dictatorship with the complicity of foreign investors, especially European hoteliers. The operation of those hotels only benefits their owners and the Cuban state, because the labor, that is, those who work in the industry, receive limited salaries, although perhaps better than those that are paid for other activities in the country. The Cuban government pays the employees of those hotels, in agreement with their foreign owners.
Because of its tourist attractions, Cuba receives millions of visitors from all over the world who go there to benefit from the exploitation of the natural beauty of the island and the arbitrary advantages that the tyranny offers those tourists who enjoy there what are the sacrifices that the Cuban people have been suffering for more than fifty-one years.
In his last speech before the full National Assembly of Cuba, the so-called President of the “Republic”, Raúl Castro, ratified that the economic model of the tyranny will continue with slight changes that could be considered “cosmetic”, but that fundamentally continue to characterize a communist totalitarian regime. Moreover, the government’s Minister of Economy, Mariano Murillo, declared that “The economic categories of socialism, not of the market, will prevail. Centralized planning will continue, some things will be made lighter. We are not going to hand over property.”
