Here’s our laugh or cry item of the week.
The Democratic Socialists of America have just issued a celebratory remembrance of Fidel Castro’s 100th birthday, not just praising the communist dictator, but accusing the U.S. of genocide for the Cuba embargo:
While Cubans are today desperately poor (90% poverty rate), Castro’s family are now reported to own 29 luxury homes, four yachts and a private island.
Monica Showalter, who used to compile Forbes magazine’s list of the world’s most wealthy, says the family now sits on cash reserves of $18 billion with many living in Europe and the U.S.
There are two ironic takeaways from this commemoration: first, DSA has finally found a billionaire they like. Unlike most billionaires that the DSA says shouldn’t exist, Castro really did steal his fortune.
Second, the Democrat socialists keep insisting they are NOT communists, but this award simply proves that they share the same impoverishing ideology.
