ABSTRACT
Democracy will be observed in the restoration of private lives unwatched and unsupervised, and by public lives dedicated to human enhancement and cultural enjoyment. Like the rest of the western hemisphere, Cuba does not need more models; it needs freedom from model builders. The first half of the post-Castro revolution in Cuba is well underway: the dissolution of the machinery of repression, the end of the cult of personality, and the mass disdain for totalitarian solutions. The second half, the implementation of voluntary associations from open political parties to unfettered social-athletic clubs, remains to be undertaken. Not the model, but the anti-model will come to define the next Cuban revolution. The Cuban people will know that they have a free economy not because they have jobs, but because they can buy what they want, when they want it, and how they want to buy it.
