The guy wants to nuke New York. 'Nuff said.

I guess brutally murdering your own people gets old after a while and you need to move on to greener pastures.

Next, you're going to tell me that Hitler isn't such a bad guy after all. Stalin was pretty swell too.

People showing their true colors.

People who show admiration to Castro are crypto-communists. A typical sign of this person is often that he doesn't get truly upset by atrocities like the Gulags or the Long March.

These people love the process that is going on in some Western European societies and USA toward the socialist totalitarian state, where free speech is prohibited because all opposing opinion is labeled as "hate speech" in some form.

A true leftist hates democracy. They are never satisfied, not until the whole world is conquered, and everybody has been made "equal" and suppressed under socialist ideology.

The only process going on is toward neoconservative neoliberal states. There is no indicator that we're moving to socialism.

Hasn't for example Belgium moved in a more socialist direction for 20 years now, with Cultral Marxism creeping in at the institutional level?

No government programs to raise awareness for feminism and multiculture? No safe spaces or trigger warnings at universities?

There's not a single left-wing party currently in the goverment of Belgium. It's a right-wing alliance true and true.

Belgium has a very complicated political system anyway. It's divided in 3 zones: Flanders (where right-wing parties are more popular than left-wing parties), Brussels and Wallonia (where left-wing parties rule supreme). These "zones" have a great deal of autonomy. You can only vote for Flemish parties in Flanders, for Walloon parties in Wallonia and you can vote for all parties in Brussels. Dutch is the official language for Flanders, French and a little bit of German for Wallonia and both Dutch and French for Brussels (although the majority speaks French, sadly).

You clearly don't know Belgium very well if you think it's heading towards a Marxist direction. Then again, anything that isn't extreme right is considered left or communist in the USA...

A recent study showed that 40% of the Belgians think sex without consent is ok in certain conditions (more women voted yes than men). Yeah, really feminist country... In the Netherlands only 15% voted that sex without consent is ok. Although I don't know how they asked the question, so this study could be bogus.

Yeah, because Fidel Castro is really comparable to Hitler and Stalin. The USA supported the Cuban dictator Batista by the way, as if that would have been a better option for Cuba...

They've been slashing a public funds for years now, the universities are being privitized, water is being privitized. Hardly a socialist direction.

The largest scandel where femminist protest came into action was a sexual offense scandal, which is not to be taken lightly.

Oh, and Cultural Marxism doesn't exist.

Both did horrible things to their own people and those who disagreed with their governments. Cuba was too poor and Castro was too late to have a even more infamous legacy.

My post was moreso about the post-death softening of horrible dictators to somehow not be horrid human beings.

But don't you realize that the American embargoes hurt the Cubans a lot more than Fidel Castro ever did?

Interesting.

Socialism and cultural marxism doesn't mean that the majority of the population thinks a certain way, it means that state policies are designed in a leftist way.

But it's good to know that Belgium is moving in the right direction! Perhaps you will close your borders too eventually.

I don't know why, but when I think of Belgium I think of muslim jihadists and I think of a multicultural Brussels with half the people on the streets looking like they come from the Middle East or Central Africa.
