Che Guevera’s Progeny Preparing To Flee Cuba After Castro’s Death

Like rats scurrying from a sinking ship.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A daughter of famed revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara has become an Argentine citizen after decades of living in Cuba , an Argentine official said Tuesday.
The news that Celia Guevara March , 44, had obtained Argentine citizenship last January sparked speculation that she and other members of her family had begun making plans to leave the island nation after Cuban leader Fidel Castro fell ill last July. . . .
Many Cubans with ties to the Castro regime have made contingency plans for leaving the country after the longtime leader dies, said Jorge Pinon , a senior researcher with the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami .
Castro hasn’t been seen in public for more than a year and didn’t appear at celebrations marking his 81st birthday Monday. Castro reportedly is suffering from diverticulitis, an ailment of the intestines, and has handed over power to his younger brother, Raul.
Guevara March, a marine biologist, is known as the most private of the Guevara clan and a loyal Castro follower.
“In totalitarian regimes, most everyone associated with that regime has some sort of exit strategy in case the regime changes and all economic livelihood disappears,” Pinon said.

Gee, why would Guevara March want to flee Cuba after Castro is gone? Perhaps she fears an uprising of the people once the cruel old dictator is in the grave? Kind of runs contrary to what Castro/Hugo Chavez apologists tell us of these socialist leaders who are supposedly elected and represent the will of the people in their respective countries.
Che Guevera was a tyrant. Castro is a tyrant. Chavez is a tyrant. Those who say otherwise are the sort of useful idiots upon whose backs the world’s tyrants always stand.

    Docdave, despite US propoganda to the contrary, Cuba has a grass roots participatory democracy today. They are preparing for the next round of elections now and the voting will be in a few months. If Fidel does not run for a local legislative seat, then he will be ineligable to be President. Their system is a bit complicated, but essentially local representatives choose the Council of State (cabinet) and then the Council of State chooses the President. The Communist Party has no formal role in the process at all. In fact party members sometimes lose to independents in local contests. Their system is Parlimentary – like England. Look it up on wikipedia.

    When one dictator succeeds another, he or she generally kills all of the previous dictator’s followers. If the incoming dictator is merciful, he might merely imprison and torture them.

    The main problems – of wages, housing and transportation – are being addressed by Raul, who frankly admitted many of the problems in his last speech.

    And therein bolsters the argument that things will change upon Castro’s long overdue demise.

    That government, economy, and society will change, gradually at first, granted, but change it will.

    If things are so peachy there now, why do all those people risk life, family, and imprisonment to come to America in leaky boats.Those same people will work to change Cuba when they can do so without fear of losing a huge part of their lives to a moldy prison cell.

    Castro apologists amaze me.

    There is absolutely no groundswell of opposition to the system.

    You are so funny!! You say that there is no opposition to the current system which is one under the dictator and tyrant Castro and then in the next breath you explain that after Castro is gone, the Cuban people will institute an elective government. No big change there!! In truth, that is all we Americans and our govenment has ever wanted for the Cubans, the right to govern themselves. Castro initially promised that would happen as a result of the revolution but like all power hungary tyrants, he reneged.

    As we speak, Cuba is organizing neighborhood level meetings whereby they nominate ordinary citizens to become their representatives at the local and state levels. More than 90% of people will vote in these elections…

    Will they have any voice in the govt? That is the real question. Not much of that in a dictatorship.

    A whole lot of speculation and wishful thinking here but not much else. I am sure you were one of those who thought the Cuban system would dissolve without Fidel at the head. Now it is Fidel’s death, which is a long way off, that is supposed to bring about a counter-revolution?? In fact the death will bring the country together in sadness as never before. As someone who was just in Cuba not too long ago, I can assure you that the people are with the Revolution, even with its faults, and want NOTHING to do with American style capitalism or our so-called democracy. As we speak, Cuba is organizing neighborhood level meetings whereby they nominate ordinary citizens to become their representatives at the local and state levels. More than 90% of people will vote in these elections, and most of those elected will have no Communist affiliation whatsoever. Meanwhile in the US we elect millionaire career politicians who must pander to their corporate sponsors.

    Cuba is growing at 9.5% a year – so says the CIA. The main problems – of wages, housing and transportation – are being addressed by Raul, who frankly admitted many of the problems in his last speech. There is absolutely no groundswell of opposition to the system. To believe otherwise is to simply be misinformed.

    Riiiighhhtt.

    How much do you want to bet that Raul Castro wins in a landslide?

    I mean, Saddam Hussein held elections too. Won ‘em all by 90% or so too. So I guess Iraq was a democracy as well.
