ANALYSIS | What happens after communism? Cubans face huge challenges, big decisions | CBC News

Cuba appears to be tottering toward some kind of political transition. Some Cubans are concerned that the residents own nothing and are too impoverished to take over the few functioning businesses on the island, while there is a large and wealthy diaspora community (and potentially also foreign investors) who would be able to swoop in and buy property and businesses at bargain prices.

@cbcnews @edmonton-cbcnews whilst it has no stabilised, the sudden opening of East Germany to the west was extremely painful for the people in East Germany. Not immediately but over the following years.
Care has to be taken not to throw the baby out with the bathwater; there would have to be a lifting of sanctions and gradual distribution of wealth before any lowering of barriers could take place.

A case for #ubi ?
