  • Retarded Labour MP thinks Castro was a legend

    From JohnO@3:770/3 to All on Saturday, November 26, 2016 15:49:24
    Fidel Castro was a brutal dictator. He oversaw the executions of thousands upon
    thousands of his opponents and ruthlessly crushed all sorts of human freedoms. All in all a brutal despot.

    But Claire Curran think's he was a legend.

    Good work Labour! Next they'll be telling us how much they admired Stalin.

    Oi! He emptied the Cuban prisons and mental asylums! Shipped them all
    off to the US of A like the good widdle marxist the bastard was.

    It doesn't say much of people in the coalition of losers
    Who incidentally as expected are in a popularity freefall on tonight's
    TV1 poll.

    Long may they demonstrate their stupidity, ignorance and insanity to the voters.

    Quite so, but as agents for social progress and justice, US-backed
    Bastida and his murdering neighbours weren't so remarkable either,
    were they? And even today, the US and Britain - with the likes of New
    Zealand dutifully in tow - continue to kneel to totalitarian despots.
    Plus ca change.

    With the horrors of WW1 and WW2 still resonating, the boringly 'quiet'
    50's were now ending with Communism dominant in Space. The mounting
    nuclear faceoff between East and West now presented the distinct
    prospect of the world's two super powers destroying both us and
    everything other living thing.

    Enter Castro, the hair trigger; then add Cuba's geographically
    sensitive location and the 'romance' that was Che Guevarra to
    understand why Castro and a tiny island less than half the area of New
    Zealand are already writ large in the history books.

    But Claire Curran think's he was a legend.

    Clare Curran has no first-hand experience of the times, but lives her
    smug and unscathed talk-is-easy existence through the lives and
    actions of others.

    Here's the best account I can find of the zeitgeist when highest hopes
    and deepest doom went hand in hand. And as one who lived through it,
    it's as livingly vivid and fearsome as it was then.
