Re: [Marxism] Shuffling the deck chairs in Cuba

Let's hope not.  So what do people know about the replacements?  Perez 
Roque was the person always pointed to as the main man in the next 
generation of Cuban revolutionaries when the issue was brought up about 
who would succeed Fidel et al.  This is where Walter might actually be 
helpful if we were still on the useful (and had a modicum of critical 
distancing from the official Cuban line).
