A tribute.."They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?" Fidel Castro(and the Inspiral carpets drummer also died this year too..)

Maybe we'll actually have the chance to get down there now for the cool cars and the cigars. Well ok, I don't smoke but the boxes might be worth the trip. I'm certainly no defender of the corporate greed form of capitalism we have here in the U.S. which has led to thousands of people losing their homes and ecological disasters from mining, fracking, piplineing and on and on. Make America Great can mean lots of different things to different people. Depends on where your heart and your wallet are. Now back to finishing my non political Christmas song!
Thanks Jim interesting stories, I'm sure there is good and bad in most.
But he's gone now so it may be curious to see what happens next
Maybe a new Trump Cuban hotel perhaps?
Eek! I wish I had gone before the change it though just to see the cars.
;>)
Can you really says capitalism is a complete success though ?
Great music but I'm a little too close to the cruelty he showed to anyone who disagreed with him. One of my bandmates is here because some of his family members "disappeared" due to disagreeing with Castro early in his rise to power. Thousands of people came to the U.S. to escape his tyranny and the isolation he brought to Cuba. Don't get me wrong, I believe he did much good for the Cuban people but it came at the cost of eliminating anyone with a different point of view. Politics aside, you know I'm a big BUGGY fan!
