A great man died

[FUCK THE POLICE]

I mourn the loss of Fidel Castro, and the loss of the Cuban people. Truly the greatest leader in the western hemisphere since George Washington. He will go down in history as a great hero and liberator of his people, and a great bulwark against tyranny. RIP.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Cuba is the last free country in the western hemisphere, after America fell to fascism. They are the bulwark of liberty in these dark times.

Marx, Engles, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong-Il welcome him to the People's Circle of Hell.

Castro served a purpose for Cuba. It was a backward island run by oligarchs.Castro brought his own brutality -
but he also advanced peoples lives. He stayed around way too long, and Cuba now has to modernize.
But he did serve a purpose for the Cuban people who were basically servants to Batista.

Just when I thought November couldn't get any better Castro kicked it.

Is it too much to hope for a liberal Supreme Court justice to assume room temp before Trump is inaugurated?

You wouldn't even be around to spout your infantile bullshit if Castro had got his way back in 1962!!

But on Oct. 27, one day before the public crisis would end, Castro cabled Khrushchev to urge a preemptive nuclear strike on U.S. targets. Weeks later, on Nov. 19, the Cuban leader instructed his United Nations ambassador to tell the world that Cuba possessed tactical nuclear warheads. The announcement was never made, however, because the order was swiftly recalled.

The USA forced Castro into the hands of the Russians. If Kennedy hadn't ordered the infamous Bay of Pigs disaster then those missiles would never have been deployed in the first place. So in a sense the Missile Crisis was mostly of Kennedy's, or more likely his military advisors making.

The good People of Cuba are not out of the woods yet.

a) Raul survives.

b) President Elect Trump seems willing to renege on the Obama administration rapprochement negotiated multilaterally by parties including no less a personality than Pope Francis.

- If he does, &
- if he replaces it with something better, then splendid.

That do you suppose the chances of that are?

This is why I never understood praise of Kennedy for successfully handling the crisis. Especially since he had to make concessions to the Russians.

a) We are in accord on the Bay of Pigs.

b) Not as political concurrence, but logical explanation:
independent of who spilled the milk, JFK cleaned it up, without a single mushroom cloud as a result.

If Earth's human population had been reduced by 95% as a direct result of a JFK failure to successfully negotiate the Cuban Missile Crisis, I'd consider applying to join the chorus of JFK critics on that issue.

BUT !! ...

Really? I bet he killed far fewer people than your messiah W did. Would the planet be better off without him too?

President Castro cleared out the brothel-keepers who worked for the Yanks, who are now allowed to vote in Florida, whereas in any decent country they'd all be in jail. Now America has gone fascist, I suppose we must expect new Bays of Pigs everywhere, as the pigs begin to smell the Great Trump.

Rightists like to classify his killing off of a bunch of Batista butchers and officials as a "mass killing". He never had any mass killing campaign, and no one ever starved under his role either.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

2016 was the greatest victory for evil in history since 1939. We'll give you five years.

We will give trump DC, Trump will give us America. America will be a communist nation.

The revolution is coming, comrades! You have nothing to lose but your chains! For the workers! Down with the bourgeoisie! Down with capital!

Not even the thousands he put in jail because they spoke out against him?
