Strictly Right

You’d expect that the man dubbed ‘the father of Cuba’s communist revolution’ would be advocating for the communist system. Instead, Fidel Castro is admitting that communism doesn’t work.

Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic, recounts his recent interview with Fidel Castro:

But during the generally lighthearted conversation (we had just spent three hours talking about Iran and the Middle East), I asked him if he believed the Cuban model was still something worth exporting.

“The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore,” he [Fidel Castro] said.

Now that one of the most stubborn supporters of ‘state controlled economies’ is rejecting the theory, it is even more outrageous that America is moving in that direction.

Perhaps Democrats should look over to the economically ravaged island of Cuba – it’s a preview of what America could become if they succeed.
