1. Very interesting article
However, Fidel Castro supports some comments by the Mexican candidate Lopez Obrador which show he lacks a full of understanding of basic economic principles. This lack of education on his part may be a reason why he advocates marxism.

4. His "lack of education"???
You think because he didn't go to the Milton Friedman School of Economics, he "lacks education"?

:rofl:

Welcome to DU! I can see that you're going to be a lot of laughs.

5. Castro is no dummy. Look, he made the Forbes list of richest in the world.
He's even boasting about it. as seen in this picture ...


And as you can see, he's living the lifestyle of the rich and famous ...


Wearing $10,000 silk suits ...




The Cuban people in Cuba "get it". And they hate him for it!

2. Thanks, looking forward to reading this in the morning.
Glad the man is writing, hope he will continue.

People I respect who've met him and spent time with him have ALL said he is exceptionally intelligent, far, FAR beyond ordinary political figures.

Our world would be so damned ugly and dead if we only had right-wingers as heads of state.

Thanks for your contribution to our Saturday! Recommending.
