Fidel Castro is dead! Like Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez, he demonstrated through deeds the utter hopelessness and horrors of socialism and communism in practice. Thousands upon thousands of dissidents killed and in jail. Obscene mortality rates under backwater "universal health care." Their socialist economics starved the people to death, as their communist government murdered any who dared speak out.
Let's hope that his death will signal the impending demise of socialism in Cuba. That they will hopefully begin to transition away from the outdated economic and political systems of an earlier century and toward one of civilized societies: the free market and a constitutional republic.
Castro's failure to improve the lives of the people under him should be remembered for centuries to come as a reminder of why socialism and communism have never worked and will never work. And why any who espouse such systems here or abroad are fundamentally the enemies of all mankind. Let us never indulge the Castro sympathizers, because they desire the deaths of their neighbors.
