Fidel Castro slams Barack Obama's Cuba visit, 'honey-coated' comments Quote: Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro accused U.S. President Barack Obama of sweet-talking the Cuban people during his visit to the island last week and ignoring the accomplishments of communist rule, in an opinion piece carried by all state-run media on Monday . . . Castro, 89, laced his opinion piece with nationalist sentiment and, bristling at Obama's offer to help Cuba, said the country was able to produce the food and material riches it needs with the efforts of its people . . . Fidel Castro blasted Obama for not referring in his speech to the extermination of native peoples in both the United States and Cuba, not recognizing Cuba's gains in health and education, and not coming clean on what he might know about how South Africa obtained nuclear weapons before apartheid ended, presumably with the aid of the U.S. government. It doesn't really matter what his opinion is anymore since Fidel is no longer President of Cuba. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/fidel-c...isit-1.3509837 __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: Fidel Castro slams Barack Obama's Cuba visit, 'honey-coated' comments "Sweet-talking the . . . people?" Seems to me Fidel called it like it is, and has been, for the last 8 years.

Right. Fidel Castro is pushing 90 and in poor health. He is not long for this Earth so it doesn't really matter what he says. The goal is to influence his successor(s).

Re: Fidel Castro slams Barack Obama's Cuba visit, 'honey-coated' comments South Africa? That's so last generation!? And because both .us and .cu have been involved in the removal of Native populations, it's a strange burn for Castro to make on Obama. Methinks he knows that his family duarchy is soon going bye-bye and wants to get one last jab in at his North American nemeses. ICXC NIKA

Totally agree, although in terms of his "legacy," I suspect the pictures of Obama under the giant Che Guevara mural, and of him doing the tango, won't be prominently displayed in the Obama Presidential Library.

Re: Fidel Castro slams Barack Obama's Cuba visit, 'honey-coated' comments Now if it had been Fidel rather than Raul at the joint press conference, Fidel would probably not object to taking questions. But with Fidel, he would have taken one question and then gone off on an anti-US rant lasting hours.

Cuba is the victim of the USA and always has been, it has nothing to do with fighting dictatorship or tyranny. America recognized Batista's regime, where was the fight against tyranny then? I like Fidel Castro, but many anti-revisionist Marxists consider him as someone who allied with Soviet imperialism when it was convenient for him. The US really isn't concerned with fighting dictatorship or tyranny; that cannot be stressed enough. If you doubt this, ask what the US' stance on Saudi Arabia is. Even if you do not like Obama, just pose the question about the what the stance on Saudi Arabia when George W. Bush was President. Much of one's stance towards the US' foreign policy is based on self-righteousness or a delusional belief that the US stands for some abstract principles such as freedom and liberty. Regarding that, do you think the US really stands for that when it has the highest incarceration rate or mistreats individuals in prisons by putting them in solitary confinement. Quote: Most critically, the new security threat group category doesn't just denote prison gangs, but also includes a much larger number of "disruptive groups." Among these are street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and "revolutionary groups." The list of disruptive organizations that CDCR gave me runs to 1,500, including not only the Bloods and Crips, but also the Juggalos, the dedicated clown-faced following of the dual-platinum horrorcore hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse. The Black Panthers are on the list, as are a couple of Nation of Islam-affiliated groups. One category is titled "Black-Non Specific," suggesting that any group with the word "black" in its name can be considered disruptive. (CDCR would not respond to my questions on this matter.) Taken together, the policy changes could mean that a Crip taking part in a hunger strike, a Black Panther with a drawing he made of his organization's namesake cat, or an Insane Clown Posse fan with an album cover and a concert photo could receive indeterminate SHU terms. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/...e-bauer?page=4 So is that "freedom" or "human rights" if someone who associates with the Panthers or wants to be a part of their legacy cannot commemorate it? Please note that the article was written by someone who actually suffered an immense injustice by the Iranian Revolutionary Court for entering their country. But regardless of how Iran treats those accused of sabotage and infiltration, one should not be blind to the gross injustices that occur in the US. Here is something insightful on far-leftist forum: Quote: And you know the whole thing [the number of people allegedly killed by communism] is [BS], people are simply so unoriginal that they can't fathom that they're engaging in a kind of herd mentality. If Stalinists were in power, we would dismissively claim that mistakes always happen throughout history and that while it's all tragic, it's not as bad as the deaths and butchery of liberal capitalism. We would claim that all those in labor camps, more or less deserved it by merit of being criminals and people who threatened the Soviet state. The first typical response in many of your heads is "Many of those imprisoned were innocent!" and yet no one realy bats much of an eye at the reality that many incarcerated in the US are actually innocent, or were incarcerated unjustly. Yet en masse, people can go about their day fine knowing that criminals are locked up. Such arguments, to we arrogant westerners are construed as ridiculous, and satire-esque. But the "Soviet state" carried legitimacy in a sense, it was something that DID have a magical ring to it in the same way "The United States government" or "The federal government" or "Law enforcement agencies" do for us. This is how power works. The truth is that only with power can the truth of history be wrought out. It doesn't matter what we say, we do not have legitimacy. It is through power that the average person thinks with their [butt] to claim that 100 million die, and it is through power that they will cease to think this. The claim that socialism is against freedom or that it killed tens of millions of people is pablum, and should properly be seen as propaganda used to influence the masses to support the political economy of capitalism. __________________ She has no patience for minds that do not inspire her or explode by trying.
