Liberal Heartache: Castro Admits Socialism Has Failed

The founder of Socialism in Cuba, Fidel Castro, has made a rare blunt admission about Socialism's failure in Cube. He said,

“The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore”

AP reported:

The fact that things are not working efficiently on this cash-strapped Caribbean island is hardly news. Fidel’s brother Raul, the country’s president, has said the same thing repeatedly. But the blunt assessment by the father of Cuba’s 1959 revolution is sure to raise eyebrows.

Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, asked if Cuba’s economic system was still worth exporting to other countries, and Castro replied: “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore” Goldberg wrote Wednesday in a post on his Atlantic blog.
