Fidel Castro Dead at Age 90

[Seraven]

This is a massive understatement. The US actively trained and financed right wing paramilitaries, death squads and military juntas across the continent, they brought down multiple elected governments and invaded multiple nations. You'd be hard pressed to find a dictator in Latin America the yanks didn't support.

Ah, Operation Condor, back when the CIA had its shit in order. Those were the days...

And now they don't?

[Seraven]

Time for regime change, the Cuban government won't survive without Castro. Bay of Pigs 2.0 hype...

Almost irrelevant right now. Communism is hardly a danger thing now. And Cuba is not really of a threat to USA.

[The Great Devourer of All]

>Conspiracy theorists start thinking he's dead
>Lives to 90 to fuck with them

A true thug, RIP.

[Herargon]

So passes the last historic leader of the Cold War era.

Has Venezuela accused US death ray machines of being responsible yet?

... You forgot Mikhail Gorbachev.

The last successful revolutionary leader is still an accomplishment.

Unless I'm missing someone.

Depends on who you ask. Gorbachev is either a revolutionary, or a traitor.

I don't know which one I should side for.

[Organized States]

... H.W. who? The Bush?

Yep.

[Herargon]

Yep.

Fair enough then.

They just need to return the stuff they stole from Americans and we can start trading with them again.

[Conserative Morality]

Castro did what the CIA never could.

[Greater Orensta]

he was old enough to be classified as a mineral, all i have to say.

[Kergstan]

He was a great man and icon of the hope of lower classes worldwide.
His constant fight against american imperialism to defend the dignity and sovereignty of that little Island 200 kms from the pigs, how can someone not admire him?

You can say everything about him but he's not making people die because of lack of money for medecines or from hunger, he is giving work to everyone, good quality education, participative politics just to tell something that USA lags behind them terribly.

I thought that had already been done, the US just needs to give the Guantanamo resort back and also address its terrible human rights record. As Castro said about the USA “We find it inconceivable that a government does not defend and secure the right to healthcare, equal pay and the rights of children. We oppose political double standards in the approach to human rights.”

[MERIZoC]

Keep control of Cuba.

So you can be a ruthless dictator as long as it's "anti-American Imperialism TM"

Yes, he was a terrible leader whom kept his people in a time capsule for his tyranny. Teaching people to read and write dosn't excuse brutally slaughtering those who stand against you and causing your population to flee in terror to America.

"Self-termination, suckers!"

Even if all of what you say is true (which I doubt), at least in the USA political opponents are not silenced by firing squad.

Teaching people that their skin color is a fucking irrelevance -- teaching people that their health is precious -- teaching people how to read and write -- yes, those are valuable things.

Now for someone who doesn't dick them over for sport or in the service of an outmoded ideology. They've gotten far too many of those over the past hundred and more years since they gave Weyler and the Spaniards the boot, as a citizen of a former colony I can only say good luck to them.

Whatever good luck means in the age of Trump, that is.

[The Princes of the Universe]

My condolences to his family. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

Meh, the cheering Cubans in Florida disagree.

[Pope Joan]

Cuba is better without the criminal Battista crowd, just as Miami is the worse for receiving them.

I guess we settle for water cannon and tear gas? How admirable.

Despite your ridiculous implication, I shall simply repeat: at least in the USA political opponents are not silenced by firing squad.
