"The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," Castro tells an American journalist when asked whether the Cuban economic and political system was worth exporting.
WASHINGTON Cubas Fidel Castro used an interview with a U.S. magazine to urge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to abandon Holocaust denial and refrain from slandering Jews and confess that the Cuban model doesn't work.
Castro, whose recent public pronouncements have been dominated by warnings that a U.S. or Israeli attack on Iran could spark a nuclear war, invited a journalist with The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to Havana to discuss the writers recent article on Israel and Iran.
In the first installment of several Atlantic articles on their exchanges, Castro told Goldberg that the Iranian government must understand the consequences of anti-Semitic theology.

In the second installment from a series of meetings with Castro, Goldberg says Castro was asked whether the Cuban economic and political system was worth exporting.
"The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," Castro responded. He didn't expand on the comment.
This does not pass the smell test. Castro has been a hard core Communist since the 1950’s. I can’t imagine him ever admitting that his Cuban brand of communism isn’t working anymore unless he has very advanced Alzheimer disease.

Or Ron Brown.
Funny how the O admin makes the scum of the Klinton admin almost look human.

Good analogy.
He sees the whole world going communist and wants to continue being the black sheep. It's his schtick and he's sticking with it.
I think you said a couple months ago that zero was now to the left of Castro.
No their not.
“Tito regime was commie but nothings compared to Stalin's or Mao's or anything like that”
Well 1.7 million does look small compared to Stalin’s 60 + million and Mao's 78 + million.
You don't think the government informed the citizens of
all the murders it committed do you?
Hell it took until 1985 for the Russian’s to come clean on
Kaitlin Forest murder of the Polish.
Those figures are real, count on it.
