From the second page of an arty about Fidel Castro transferring power in Cuba to his brother:
For Raúl, any economic opening also poses dangers. One of the reasons Fidel disliked private property is that it reduced his political control over Cubans. It is hard for people to rebel against the government when it is the country’s sole employer. Allowing greater private enterprise could alleviate the chronic shortages of basic items, but would also make Cubans less dependent on the regime.
Sound familiar ? – Its why Social Security has not been privatized in the USA. Its why politicians, particularly the democrats talk the way they do. Its all about POWER baby.
