Read that as "Mel Gibson" and got excited for a second.

Michael Gibson is a military intelligence analyst who decided he wanted to spend his retirement making books about cyborgs fighting demons.
Strange strange but fun guy.

Fidel Castro died today.
So did Ron Glass.
I know which one I'm missing.

My latest book is now in stores. I'm pleased by that.

2016 sucked all round....except for Castro dying.
Which feels mean spirited but....yeah, Castro.
So I'm cool with that.

Weren't you calling for more radical leftism and revolution in a couple of threads a few weeks back?
Not everyone who's left is also a fan of Castro.

Soviet Leftism is pretty much the apotheosis of what I despise in government. Totalitarianism is what I despise most in government.
Anarchism, not communism on my end.
Don't expect people to see any difference between "Left" and "Stalinism". If you get anything for free it's evil and must be purged.
/edit:
Interesting, though not exactly new if I remember correctly.
But was that video narrated by a text-to-speech device? Holy shit, I could barely listen to it, all these weird emphases, stresses, and random speed changes really bother me.

While we're on the topic of Castro, whose leading Cuba now that he's dead?
Raul Castro, since 2008/2011.

Raul doesn't hate gay people but is generally identical in his politics to his brother.
Hard to hate gays when you've already killed them all tho.

So what are Raul's politics like then?
I mean, CT Phipps already pointed out that he's not as much of a homophobe as his brother, but what's he like apart from that?
How does he treat people with dissenting opinions for example?

He once said he would drop 3 atomic bombs on New York if he could. He's pretty much just Fidel2.

I just read up on that, and apparently he said it to life magazine in 1960.
While that was certainly a horrible thing to say, to be entirely fair, that was in the height of the cold war, and there was likely a lot of aggression between the two countries, so I guess you can kinda understand why he'd say that. Still reflects badly on him though.
I just hope that his views towards the US have changed as time went by.

Castro was little more than a living mummy idol, he hasn't lead Cuba in years so his death I doubt will actually bring anything new.
