Fidel Castro Dies at 90. Today is the day Cuba is ..

[fiscorcle]

whatever people here are saying that doesn't change the fact that Castro is a hero and of course not all of people will agree cause this how politics work
he survived more than 600 killing attempts from the US and died at 90 , this is alone a great achievement 
 

A hero? I agree that with his death the cold war era is finally over. But what will Russia start up now that one of their allies have passed? Will they come to Trumps side now as an ally to fight ISIS?

Russia has been fighting the ISIS for the last two years. On the other hand, the Americans were indirectly helping the ISIS, by attacking the pro-government forces (the bombing of Deir Ezzor was the most brazen attempt by the US till now, to help the ISIS).

So you are saying that US is in league with ISIS in directly? That is a bold statement I would say if you are an American here having your leader in fact help the terrorists in doing what they do.
Didn't you hear the statement they put out saying that the Macy's day parade for Thanksgiving was the perfect place to impose their fear upon. Even if there are kids there:

More like the Americans and the ISIS having common enemies (Assad, Putin, Iran, Hezbollah.etc) and joint objectives (overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria, establishment of an Islamic Caliphate in Yemen.etc). At least some of the American politicians believe that the ISIS is a better option when compared to Assad in Syria.

You are right there.
But Hillary during her campaign run was saying that Trumo was Putin's friend. So this is going to play out sometime soon with ISIS being in the fore front of every super power's mind?

Fidel and Raul are very similar,in fact Raul is more extreme in a lot of aspects when it comes to the Socialist bend.
True change will not come under him either,in fact the changes right now are out of survival with the other Socialist superpowers all falling apart.
Would not dance on Fidels grave but I also do not shed any tears for the man as long as the people suffer for believing in or being forced to believe in a different way of life.

Can't agree with that statement. Rail seems to be a moderate compared to Fidel. I agree that before assuming power, he had a reputation for being a ruthless extremist. But his policies have changed since then. He has become more moderate and conciliatory. He is solely responsible for the recent upswing in the relations with the United States.

Really see no other options for Raul and you can tell he was opening up with gritted teeth when he had to make any public address.
Obama had to take some serious barbs/jabs his direction for keeping Cuba stifling under their thumb for so long. Raul is no dummy I do not see Cuba turning a new leaf so easily without a bigger picture in mind. Venezuela falling into disarray really cost Cuba a leg to stand on and I think this is just a emergency measure,since they do not want to be owned by Russia or China for the most part.
You may be right in Raul softening with age though because the old Raul would have bit off his arm before following through with this current set up.

not sure how this is related to this subject , but what I'm sure about is that Cuba will stay as an ally of Russia
and btw Russia doesn't need the US to fight ISIS , Russia only wants the americans to stop supporting ISIS

we all know that without US support ISIS wouldn't exist

And we know that without the support of Russia would not have been Assad. Who is better? Don't you think that the Russians and the Americans have nothing to do in Syria? It is an internal affair of the citizens of Syria. Let them solve the problem.

Al-Assad is the legal leader of Syria , there is no way to compare a group of terrorists with a leader and the Syrian army
Russia is fighting in Syria legally since the Syrian government asked them to do so , while US is making the situation worse

and for the 2nd time  we are talking about Castro here , there are many other topics about the war in Syria

[Your Point Is Invalid]

I dont see why you guys hate Castro and communism this much, communism is the future
Also, i dont think any drastic changes will be made under his brother, both of them think alike

No, I think that brother Fidel other Mymaridae?slania. View as of late has changed. Along came mobile phones, Internet. Allowed to do business. When Fidel was not. And the relationship with America?

These points are all showing that Fidel's brother is lax on his tight grip on the country. So not to allow a revolt to happen he has to let these technologies in as China and Russia has come to accept but still has control over it. Remember the google searches being blocked by China?

Not that he is not like Fidel's for sure, and then everything depends on the American leader.If he can explain to Raoul the prospects of a democratic society, Cuba will go the right way.

The Cuban government does not actively block the propaganda channels (like China and North Korea). Google does not face much censorship there. But first of all, not many can afford broadband internet in Cuba. Even if you try to disperse American propaganda through internet, it will reach only a few tens of thousand households at the most.

Crypto currencies would not survive under communist rule as it is free market capitalism. Internet censorship is also very widespread in communist countries. Why is it the future and why should the Bitcoin community support communism?

[Rmcdermott927]

Completely free!

 

First U.S citizens are allowed into the country and that might have caused him to have a heart attack.

One communist country has fallen and 4 more too go!

They need one more to kick the bucket before they stand a chance to have a non-totalitarian government again.   Seeing his funeral procession with citizens waving cuban flags during it made me think about how people could so quickly forget the firing squads, imprisonments, and awful general nature of the Castro regime.

All those who support ideologies such as communism and socialism are lazy welfare rats, who want to leach off hard-working people. The same is the case here as well. Those who don't want to work, will support communism.

His brother continue manage the country. In fact, nothing changes in Cuba. Cuba have a lot of antique goods - cars for example, so this country can get a lot of cash, if they start to export and sale antique goods. US tourists will no be interested in this poor country, except some antique goods dealers.
