Cuba Resets the Revolution

Article suggests that Cuba might be looking to de-nationalize. Cuban officials have been reported saying that labor is inefficient in Cuba as the status quo of the average worker is lazy. Government worker programs allow people to live without having to work/commit to a job. Cuba plans to correct this by reducing the amount of government employed workers and supporting small businesses and allowing private small business to exist in order to create employee/employer relationships. Questionable on whether or not these businesses will be able to compete/market with no business background.
Article mentions that Cuba might be slow/weary of transforming the economy because of its disdain for America and the American system. I think that it would be more because of what the revolution means to Cuba and how communism has become part of the Cuban identity.
