Questions after 50 years of Castrist revolution in Cuba

On January 1, the revolution that Fidel Castro and his henchmen imposed on Cuba completed 50 years. However, after 5 decades of socialism, Castro's political system still leaves several questions unanswered:

1. Why when the revolution triumphed, Fidel Castro announced that he was not interested in power and criticized the Batista's dictatorship, if in later decades he would establish an indefinite dictatorship?

2. Why after 46 years and a half as a dictator, Fidel Castro handed over power to his brother, without a referendum or elections? Could it be that this status is privatized for the Castro family?

3. If Fidel Castro is an example of morality, why he came to power in an armed revolution, formed guerrillas in various parts of the world and was involved in the nuclear threat of the USSR against the USA?

4. If the Cuban regime is an example of political achievements, why political parties are not allowed, many dissidents are kept prisoners, labor unions are prohibited and human rights are not respected?

5. There is talk about the benefits of Castro's educational system, but why are its technological and scientific achievements nonexistent?

6. If the Castro regime has made Cuba a sovereign country, why was a satellite state of the Soviet Union until the fall of the Berlin Wall, and today is so dependent of the dollars sent from Venezuela and the United States?

7. If the Cuban medicine is so advanced, why Fidel Castro was treated by a Spanish specialist -Dr. Jose Luis Garcia Sabrido- when he fell into serious health conditions?

Over the time that has passed, the castrist model has nothing to promise, because it has a history of 50 years of failures that speak for themselves.
