Fidel Castro

[Omar del Sur]

What exactly in your view is the role of Fidel Castro and how do you view Fidel's role in Africa?


now to be fair, of course I am totally against what Fidel did as far as the Ogaden War.... I have read Cuban material and as I understand, this is what happened....

Siad Barre promised the the Soviets and Fidel that he would not invade Ethiopia..... and it was only after Siad Barre made and broke that promise, that Fidel made the decisions to support Ethiopia.... but that is going by the Cuban version of events....


I ask because I am watching his brother's speech and am curious how people view him. It is interesting to me that he had an impact that was beyond just regional.

I refer to him as Infidel Castro. My experience with socialist policies here in Chicago has made me very anti big government. Socialism is the complete opposite to traditional Somali culture. I believe Cuba was being spiteful towards Somalia for being uppity.

I believe the real reason why pan-Africanists don’t acknowledge Somali history and Stan for Cuba is because they’re communist and pro-blacks love Castro. AAs see him as a hero for equality. I’ve never heard any pro black or leftist criticize Castro for that. Mmmm. BLM are trained Marxists

Admirable people, we should emulate them

usury is haraam

 

[Octavian]

usury is haraam

not like that but work hard and get our act together

 

[Omar del Sur]

not like that but work and get our act together

Okay. If you want to believe it's cool to praise Israel and love Israel, you can believe that. But you cannot both believe that and be an anti-imperialist.

im not praising them im simply saying we should learn from them in regards to rebuilding our nation

For him its a zero sum game, you either love them or hate them. Israel is a great power.

 

[Octavian]

there is noting wrong in learning from ur enemy after all how do u expect to defat them if u don't understand them

Admirable people, we should emulate them

Admirable people?

I see one standard being applied to Fidel who took on the West and I see another being applied to Zionists. It only shows why there is a need for people like Fidel who do stand up to imperialism. Someone has to do it. I know a lot of the people here are openly traitors who praise Israel.

learning yes. admiring the Zionists? no.

we should study them both so that we can defat the evil zionist and atheist commie

Imperialism is just another form of socialism. White imperialists: You Somalis have too much land. Let me redistribute your property to the Ethiopians and Kenyans. Let’s add taxes, too. Open borders for the Gulf of Aden
