The subject is Castro's lack of mental capacity, and his thesis that Chavez' defeat in the elections was caused by the USA. Which of course shows the man is senile. Chavez was defeated by his own actions, surrounded by people who lack competence, and tend to be corrupt, the government has managed a very interesting trick: to have very high inflation, a negative GDP growth, and increasing crime. All things which impact the poor, and which led to a majority voting against the communists.

I have a thesis, which I have explained in the past, these "communists" are definitely not real socialists. I don't like it when they use the name to cover their true nature. They are people who use populism to implement a form of fascism, a militarist, arrogant, and fake populist method which reminds me more of the national socialist government of Germany. And I do want to remind you the Kims in North Korea, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot were communists. Communist rule under one party rule leads to dictatorship, and very serious human rights abuses. It has nothing to do with socialism, and it has been swept by history. Like a disease which is not completely eliminated, it will always come back, but it always leads to misery, and therefore human nature will always react and defeat it.
