Fidel Castro - dead at 90

[Procrastinator35]

hahahahahahahaha .... the United States Human Rights Watch, funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, a US Congress funded front for the CIA hahahahahaha..

Next thing you'll be doing is posting stuff from the School of the Americas hahahahaha ..... another CIA front organisation.

Funny how their strangely silent on the Middle East front then.

The U.S doesn't commit 'human-rights violations', because they stand outside of them.

Yet we all know their the worst abusers....Because the U.N is gutless & is owned by them.

When, if ever, will the U.S be held accountable for it's atrocities?

Private property stolen?? Multinational & American plantations and land that was given to those who collaborated with the Batista regime were taken back from those bastards, the ones who stole them originally and given back to the Cubans, the rightful owners.

Did Castro not nationalise all private property? Are you really going to attempt to defend that?

Figbooty is Apologism central but you are taking it to a whole new level.

 

[medusala]

Did you hear about those nazi like concentration camps in Cuba? Evil campaigners.

UMAP camps.

Castro treated black and gay people so well. A real hero of the left.

Well, you had Batista in power. He had just carried out a coup with support from the United States in 1952, and Batista had actually been the president of Cuba and been in charge of Cuba, essentially, for many years in the previous period, but this time he was even more brutal. The dictatorship left some 20,000 Cubans dead. Often corpses turned up at the side of the road in horrific conditions we won't go into.

Very informative interview, but this bit says it all.

So what we can learn from this is killing gays, murdering thousands and enslaving your own people is TOTALLY WRONG! .....Unless its done by the left.

Never change leftists, never change

On what possible basis did it work? Have you seen photos of life pre and post Castro? The middle class was wiped out. How was the average person any better off?

The recovery was good after the civil war, and then the bottom fell out after the sanctions.

Locking up gays, extra judicial killings, no free press, massive censorship, food and medicine shortages, massive restrictions on private enterprise etc.

Golden age values?

Gay rights in Cuba is a complicated question, regionally as a result of Catholicism it was a difficult task to reform. in 2006 Castro admitted as much by saying that he regrets it but views were fairly culturally ingrained and at a time of deep paranoia, the security forces were looking for weaknesses that the Americans could exploit and at that time because of cultural attitudes, the Cuban government thought that gay Cubans were vulnerable to being turned by US intelligence.

The worst of the repression was when the country was in a semi-hot war with the US and Castro turned to the Soviet Union. The UMAP era was 1965-1968 which I will remind you was a time when when the US government was engaged in a secret war against homosexuals, black activists, Chicano activists, native Americans and radical students who opposed the direction the country was taking.

Understood but not excused through the prism of alternating hot and cold war with the US.

Food and medicine shortages were obviously a result of the sanctions.

Presumably thats why circa 20% of the population fled, many on anything that floated.

Figure is too high but even if it were so, it would be around the amount you would expect to be aggrieved about a permanent change in power.

American conservatives and Latin American leftists share the common delusion that Fidel Castro is a " Soviet agent," that he is a Russian puppet carrying out the bidding of "international communism" in Latin America and the rest of the Third World. U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig is fond of promoting that myth by denouncing Castro as a "Russian proxy" at every turn. And Castro himself likes to contribute to the delusion. But the fact of the matter, as Haig knows perfectly well, is that Fidel Castro is a long-term cultivated asset of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, whom they have successfully thrust deep into the Soviet camp. Castro was educated by the Jesuits. He was selected by them to continue his career in politics. His 1959 revolution was financed and supported by the Jesuits and their allies. In the mid 1960s, his Cuban regime followed the Jesuit policy of promoting "wars of National Liberation" in the Third World. In the early 1970s Castro established a strategic alliance with the Jesuits by joining the Allende government in Chile in calling for a "Christian-Marxist dialogue." And he re-affirmed that alliance most recently in a December 1980 Cuban Communist Party meeting which helped trigger the current Jesuit-led destabilization of Central America.

The magazine has published a number of controversial articles, including that Queen Elizabeth II is head of an international drug-smuggling cartel, that another member of the British royal family killed Roberto Calvi, the Italian banker who died in London in 1982, and that the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 was the first strike in a British attempt to take over the United States.[4] In 1997 it published review of the book "La face cachee de Greenpeace" (The hidden face of Greenpeace), which claimed that Greenpeace "is an irregular warfare apparatus in the service of the British oligarchy".[8] The magazine sometimes expands its articles into book-length pieces, which have included Dope, Inc: The Book that Drove Henry Kissinger Crazy (1992) and The Ugly Truth about the ADL

Yeah....I think that both the Cuban Missile Crisis & Operation Northwoods both fly in the face of the "Jesuit' angle.

Doesn't make him an asset. Just a dumb Christian boy who thought he could commit all manner of excess and still go to heaven

Bet you he's feeling pretty "castrated" by now.

Owes his life to J.F.K & his longevity to the Russians....Survived a plethora of thwarted C.I.A assassination attempts; not to mention a mountain of BS imperialist propaganda.

Respect.
