He defied US way to long. A rare feat by the mighty leader of this tiny island called Cuba, just 90 miles off Key West, the Southern most tip of Florida. He finally died a natural death, in spite of his unnatural death being sought after living dangerously too close to an adversary called America, the Citadel of Capitalism striving hard for decades to eliminate him.
Fidel Castro, the bearded, Chain "Havana Cigar" smoking leader who defied Cancer along with multiple assassination attempts on him, was deified by the Commies World over. From Bay of Pigs from the "Capitalist pigs", to more assassinations attempts. Apparently God was on his side for the man who refused to believe in God. Cat has only 9 lives, Castro reportedly had 638, incuding one by his ex-lover Marita Lorenz.
Revered by many world over for taking on the might of USA, the Cuban Americans of South Florida have a different take on him. He prosecuted and persecuted many in his island nation using brutal tactics, motivating many to risk lives to migrate to United States, just a few hours of boat ride away. Apart from his opponents, his repercussions extended to the Cuban gays whom he loathed as the carriers of the Western disease called Homosexuality.
Castro steadfastly stuck to communism when the rest of the world slowly abrogated it. He refused to endorse the winds of change blowing from the Big Bear Communist Czar land of Soviet Union led by Mikhail Gorbachev's refreshing Glasnost and Perestroika.
As communist nations all over the world crumbled around him, Fidel Castro refused to partake it. He took pride in being the Black Sheep amongst the commie nations, as the only nation to join North Korea in boycotting the Seoul Olympics in 1988. He banned the Russian magazine SPUTNIK in the late 1980s, accusing it of no more toeing the Commie line.
From Dwight Eisenhower in 1950s till Barack Obama, Fidel Castro had dealt 11 US Presidents - most of whom harbored anathema to him, except Jimmy Carter and Obama who were less enemical. In fact, the later lifted embargoes which targeted the Island nation.
The inaguration of Donald Trump in January would have completed the "Dirty Dozens" of the Capitalist pigs he dealt with. But he never lived to see that day, yet lived long enough to see the changing times.
His citizenry got a glimpse of the outside world and realized that getting rich is fun. As the veil of embargo lifted, with US Cruiseliners, a symbol of American capitalism started cruising towards Havana. His death marks the closing curtains of communism, which he painstakingly thrived over during his long reign. Adios Fidel Castro - Amigo to many, Anathema to the rest.
