money grubbing

[BenLurkin]

How much wealth has Castro robbed from the enslaved people of CUba?

Billions?

[Mr. Mojo]

"American materialism threatens human existence"

That's alright, Cuba's health care system can save it.

[DouglasKC]

How long is the press going to support the fiction that Castro is alive and/or functional?

[RightWhale]

Funny stuff. Communism is pure materialism.

[dighton]

Thanks to Fidel, Cubans run no risk of destruction by material goods.

NEW YORK (Reuters) — Cuban President Fidel Castro was furious when Forbes magazine estimated his fortune at $550 million last year. This year, the magazine upped its estimate of the communist leader's wealth to a cool $900 million.

[Lurker]

As opposed to Castros materialism which merely threatens the lives of Cubans.

Oh and black Angolans.

Is Castro not a billionaire?

Surely if any Cuban who has any sort of a marketable skill is even willing to drive to the USA through shark-infested waters is threatening his materialism.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Why do I immediately see an image in my mind of Jimmah nodding in agreement?

[RightWhale]

That old truck was sunk by the Coast Guard, which seems a waste.

[tioga]

Funny stuff. Communism is pure materialism.

It's pure materialism controlled and enjoyed by the rich from the backs of the poor. Cuba is the primo example.

[2ndClassCitizen]

I bet they broke environmental pollution laws in sinking that truck.

[RightWhale]

Probably so. Oil and gasoline spill at least.

What the Poor Really Need
What do the poor need to escape poverty? Good advice? Moral support? Neither, according to Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who says the poor really need a little capital to start climbing the economic ladder.

CASTRO:"...quoting a former Russian defense official who says the world must stand up to the United States and its money-grubbing ways."

Money is created from a market system in which the people exchange goods and services. It beats sitting on your butt all day in future-less commie land.

[EGPWS]

Fidel Castro said Saturday that consumerism in the United States, the perennial enemy of his communist government, is threatening humanity's very existence.

And no human consumption will save humanity. /s

That statement is even more idiotic of a statement than Senators Ernest Hollings "There's too much CONSUMIN' goin' on out theyyyaarr!

[SALChamps03]

American materialism provides the highest standard of living in the world. It’s socialism and communism that sentences most of the world to poverty.

[cgbg]

It is interesting that he managed to ignore China--the greatest polluter in the world whose growing economy will exceed the US consumption in the not too distant future.
