Updating Cuban Socialism A Utopian Critique

A critical look at what is officially called the "updating of the Cuban economic model" and the "perfecting" of the Cuban political system from the viewpoint of the utopias of the Cuban Revolution calls attention to the importance of deepening participatory and socially representative democracy, strengthening popular and grassroots control over state management, addressing some of the causes of the deterioration of moral and civic values, and increasing the participation of the mass media in counteracting negative effects. This should help prepare citizens, especially the generations that will lead the country from 2018 on, to deal critically and in a utopian fashion with the challenges posed by the Cuban socialist transition.
