Would those "changes" or "reforms" allow for cubans to prosper...?

FROM : MSNBC : On Saturday, the Cuban president ( DICTATOR ? ) made a call for political change to his agenda, saying politicians and other leading figures should be limited to two 5-year terms ,
a remarkable statement on an island run by him and his brother for more than a half century.
Raul acknowledged that errors have left Cuba with no obvious successor
and promised to rejuvenate the island's political class in what time he has left.

Would those "changes" or "reforms" allow for cubans to prosper
and grow richer or is it only for their control of power and survival ? by P.Martori

It is more of the same old manipulative tactics.
Cubans , in all the diaspora know that the "errors" the dictator is talking about were not unconscious but planned, plotted against the country middle classes and the rich which were a minority of the population.
Those ""errors"" were to protect , to secure and to keep the totalitarian, tyrannical
control . In other words to maintain their rigid and repressive hold of power.
Those were not "errors" but well plotted tactics and strategies to perpetuate their control on the people and the nation.
It 'is rather curious to heard or read that after 52 years in power, and specially after we cubans have heard the same old "song" -- to make people believe that they are a bunch of good intentionned people in power-- ""...that they have made mistakes and they are going to correct them..."" Fidel Castro in 1967.!

Again and again through 50 yrs. they, the leaders of the dictatorship , have sung the same tunes to the cubans on the island.
However, this time around, their chanting of reforms and excuses for mistakes are pushed under the pressure of the realities and the actual situation of the country in what respects to its decadent, degraded and olygarchical control of the Economy.
Once more, the world is witnessing the inmorality and the great scam that it all has been the so called and supposed to be : revolution.
Specially when the country was not in need of socio-economic changes BUT POLITICAL ONES.
WE DID NOT FIGHT THE FORMER DICTATOR BECAUSE THERE WERE SOCIAL OR ECONOMIC REAL PROBLEMS but BECAUSE WE HAD A DICTATATORIAL REGIME THAT WAS NOT WHAT THE CUBAN PEOPLE WANTED. YET, WE HAVE HAD ANOTHER ONE FOR 52 YRS. rEMARKS: THIS ONE HAS BEEN THOUSAND TIMES MORE CRIMINAL AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN THAT OF BATISTA.
When Castro took over, Cuba was a splendorous and vigorous nation with an Economy that was the envy of many nations.PETER MARTORI
