things like this should be shown to young people who are having their communist idealization phase. communism has never worked.
out of curiosity, do you think there could ever be another revolution in Cuba or a way to become a democracy? or is it all pretty hopeless?
A revolution requires money. In Cuba you don't have money to save. It is true that there are people without money, but there are government management techniques that quickly dilute any attempt.
For example, in 1953 when those who are now in power, assaulted the Moncada and Carlos M de Cespedes barracks, they traveled from the west (Artemisa) to the east (Santiago de Cuba) in a 1953 Chevrolet, loaded with weapons that they bought or stole from gun dealers. I invite you to try to travel today. First, forget to have a new car, forget to get close to a weapon, forget to have fuel for the cars, forget to have money to finance a revolution.
When someone has a certain amount of money in their possession, the last thing they think about is making a revolution or changing something, they buy their ticket and leave. As @bitalion said, those of us who are still here, it is because of a lack of resources, or in other cases because of family issues that cannot be left behind.

I don't think so in the short term, what they are choosing to do is leave the country. A few years ago there were about 11 million, now it is estimated at approximately 900k. Those of us who have no way of surviving are still here.

how is the general support for the gov among the people? is it possible to voice dissent or does it have to be kept to private settings?
are there still groups of hardcore gov lovers/supporters? or are those the ones whose income and lifestyle are tied to the ruling regime?

Here are those who come from the government and those who die because of the government, not in its defense, but rather because the government kills them in some way.
For example, recently the former Minister of Economy tried to flee Cuba, because he was supposedly tired of going out on a limb. But while he was living off the governor, something went wrong. Thus, the former president of the municipal assembly of the people's power of the Isle of Youth was not allowed to enter the United States, and he appears with the strange story that he had nothing to do with the repression of September 11 on the Isle of Youth, that he only sent the buses for the repression.
There are many people against it, but it is difficult. People live as they can and as soon as they can, they leave the country.
