source : Cosmopod: Cuba: Past, Present, and Future with Helen Yaffe
Helen Yaffe says that [[Cuba]] is a [[democracy]], though one unlike those found throughout the world. Their vision of government was one that was inspired by their past prior to the [[Cuban Revolution]].
After the [[Cuban Revolution]], representative organizations were set up immediately. These organizations offer various levels of representation spanning from the local level to the national level.
Some principles on Cuban democracy:
Levels of Cuban government:
In 1970s Cuba had chose to take a socialist route, and [[Fidel Castro]] had originally not wanted to. “He lost the argument.”
[[Cuba]] is a [[representative democracy]], though not like the [[United States]].
Council of State is consensus-based.
An important part of Cuban government is government public consultation, where the government is extremely concerned about what the people think and takes people’s ideas into consideration and receive feedback.
I don’t think many Americans think that they elect their president.
