Cuba: Exit, voice, or loyalty.
When the exit option is unavailable, voice is the only option for any opposition. In Hirschman’s view, “…the role of voice increases as the opportunities for exit decline.” On the other hand, the easier the exit option, the lower the prospect of voice. “The presence of the exit alternative can therefore tend to atrophy the development of the art of voice.” Knowing this, oppressive regimes have long sought for political enemies and critics to remove themselves from the national sphere.
