I agree with most of what you said on your posting.
Communism has been dead for over 15 years, but we still have a bunch of people (people who their minds have been frozen in the past and we have a few of these dinosaurs on this message board) who thinks that communism is a major treat to the United States and the global economy. I donât believe these guys understand what is happening around the world.
I donât believe in communism, and I understand why that system canât work in the long run. But I always found Fidel Castro to be very entertaining and that does not mean that I agree with his economic policies.
Fidel Castro has always been a piece of work, but he is a very smart fellow. For example: The United States wanted the publicity of Cuban refugees arriving into American shores by the thousands. Remember in the 1980âs when we watched in the news boatloads, after boatloads of Cuban refugees arriving in Florida.
It made a great story at the time: look all these people taking a chance with their lives to escape from Cuba to try a new beginning in the United States. And they came by the thousands.
Fidel Castro accommodated the United States wishes and he arranged for emptying the Cuban prison system into the United States shores â he sent to the US not the political prisoners, instead he sent to America the worst that Cuba had to offer; the crooks, the rapists, the drug dealers, the assassins, and the lowest scum of the earth that they had in Cuba.
And it took a while for the United States to catch up to the fact that Fidel Castro had emptied his prison system into the United States Cuban refugee program.
To this day Castro probably still has some good laughs bout that one - you want Cuban refugees, I will give you the Cuban refugees.
I am sure that after Castroâs death Cuba will transform itself very fast and will become a free market economy, and will offer a lot of opportunities for investors.
But dinosaurs such a Nick Larsson Jr. with their âminds and reasoningâ frozen on the past will have a hard time recognizing the dynamics that is at play and how the new dynamics will push Cuba into the future. Today, change occurs at the speed of light and Cuba will be able to change overnight.
