SANTIAGO OF CUBA - September 22, 2009 (www.miamiprogressive.com) the events of Latin America, the political reality of the United States and the Cuban opposition: desvertebrada politically like democratic cause, they put the future of Cuba in the hands of the tenebrous way of the Socialism of the 21st century.

The death of Juan Almeida, as it would indicate a colleague ours well, was clarinada for the aged governing nomenclature in Cuba. The strategy of that chaste one, by more than 50 years has been to maintain closed all the access roads to the cupola.  Even, with the physical disappearance or defenestración of which they helped to scale the top of the power at a certain time. Nevertheless, already Raul I castrate recognized the necessity to change the old socialism, the one that is attributed to Moscow, by a more modern socialism, than although it did not put name to him, all we know that one talks about the Socialism of the 21st century.

Which are the reasons to make changes in a system that stops the intentions of the power has worked perfectly? Simply - I interest -. The unique thing that favors any negotiation.

Raul I castrate has taken him the pulse to the Cuban reality, knows that it has left the right time to realize a process of agreed political transition to its interests. A delay beyond its control limits, could agree with a collapse of the system, that jeopardizes the fortune of the family I castrate and its political superiority in the country.

The decision of Raul I castrate to reform the system, can be sudden, but the strategy to take to Latin America to a refined version of the socialism, leaves from the Forum of Sao Paulo, that although Cuba was part of its conformation, was not in its plans having to apply it in its own territory.

The success achieveed in Venezuela, where Hugo Chavez has managed to settle down the mechanisms of this new political modality: the Socialism of the 21st century, has been the detonating so that it expands quickly in the region, due to its main attractiveness: the indefinite presidential re-election.

The strategic capacity of the left, that it carries out the Socialism of the 21st century, cannot be despised. The system works and it is in force by a series of philosophical and psychological foundings, carried out by very well prepared people, who do that in so volatile countries politically as Bolivia, a president without no preparation can maintain to the power.

The Cuban regime, of great acceptance by the Latin American left, as government system must be made up to enlist it in the context of the rest of the continent. Cuba like country, is necessary to turn it into an equal country to the others, where everything passes with apparent normality. The art and the culture, are a great wire to take this message and that is the reason for which it was used Juans so that it celebrated a so ambiguous concert, as a concert by La Paz in Cuba.

The United States is a very important place, but to conquer, to neutralize at least. The mechanism to change the correlation of opinion in academic the North American community has been to reinforce its intellectuality and with militant personnel of street. With this intention the immigration of the United States has been encouraged, even the Cuban.

The Cuban emigration, of last generations, as he is natural is composed by younger people, with interests that can be used to stimulate them to assume a convenience position. Those personal interests, not necessarily must be in agreement with democratic principles or patriotic values. That new migratory composition, next to youth Cuban-American been in the United States has as mission to occupy the spaces of I exile historical, that the age and its perception of reality invalidates the Cuban them strategically.

The conditions to begin to introduce the Socialism of the 21st century in Cuba are given: the will strategic of the regime to do it; a political composition in favorable Latin America; the State Together with under an inclined Administration that ideology and an internal opposition without preparation and political structure.

In process electoral, that would be one of the main elements of the Socialism of the 21st century, that would be introduced in Cuba, our opposition is not prepared to face it. The lack of poltica plurality during would take it to 50´años to the opposition to appear in dissimilar parties that would lose in fact in front of the governmental machinery. Although it is a phenomenon that comes presenting/displaying in countries with more democratic culture and customary the electoral game, as we see in Bolivia, that 7 candidates in front of Evo Morales will go, in the elections of the next December.

If the Cuban opposition wants to go out triumphant in its next challenge, to face the machinery of the Socialism of the 21st century, it must begin to organize themselves from already, and to design a common strategy, like the Primary ones of Opposition.
