It's not necessarily Marxism that I would take issue with. I don't need to have an issue with a political philosophy to have an issue with a person who subscribes to it. Castro is one of those people, not Sulley as it may have appeared in the post. I've pretty much heard all the justifications as to the things Castro does, but at the end of the day, left or right, any political system that actively suppresses political dissension via imprisonment or 'disappearances', is not one worth supporting. True, many people worship Castro, it's called the cult of personality, and it existed with Stalin, and perhaps, most men in power. However, there's something fundamentally wrong with a place when thousands of people resort to placing themselves on makeshift rafts and brave starvation, exposure, and drowning just to have the chance to live somewhere, anywhere else. It might have been a cheapshot and for that I apologize, however, I still stand by my statement that Castro is a murderer. See: Che Guevara, Personal Assassin. So what were we saying about Derek Lee?
