Fidel Fivel

I am a little mouse from America.

It became clear, from the mouth of the mouse, that he resign. I don't trust his brother Raoul.

Hm. I have always thought Fidel Castro, el Jefe, to be sympathic and strong. A dictator, yes. Despot? It depends. If not for the sanctions imposed by USA, Cuba would have the best functioning health care system in the world. They would have a selection of goods for everyone to buy. Lying 100 km from Florida, they don't.

Cuba has a lot of natural resources, but more importantly, inventiveness in abundance and a cultural focus making it one of the most important Latin countries. Film festivals, book festivals, music that is more alive than in most other countries.

And of course, a heightened sense of political awareness. Everyone in Cuba has a meaning. There is a lot of grumbling. There is a lot of broken families, caught between mafioso USA and stubborn socialism. It is difficult to get normal literature, if you don't buy it used on a market - everything is colored red. Cubans are very well educated. In science Cuba is well advanced within medicine.

Hail to Fidel! He has shown the world possibilities and never let invasions and propaganda in the name of "free trade" and western hegemony go unpunished.

What I have now written is very unconnected and loose. I will think of it as a sketch.
