(343 posts)There are those of you celebrating Castro's death, yet live in a country where a billionaire former game show host has been elected to the Presidency with the help of white nationalists and neo-Nazis who will also bring into the administration other capitalist billionaires and proto oligopolists. Why? Because you rejected another candidate who to you symbolized the same imperialist neoliberal capitalistic policies that he opposed in his own country.
And what was your prefreence? Bernie Sanders, a Democratic Socialist (who's more like a Social Democrat than Socialist)
Fidel Castro, for better or worse, accomplished in his country what Americans could not. And managed to sustain it for over 50 years. Whatever happens going forward, Cuba will not be the same nation as it was pre revolution nor will it return to it.
