"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 – Cuba’s 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 writer’s 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.
Horrywood must be devastated. Castro was one of their Gods.
Are you just saying that to make me feel good? Rather is out shopping for urns? (Proper libs are cremated, it acclimatizes them to their eventual fate...) And Baba?
Oh, that the days be short, and happiness soon...
And much like the Russian intellectuals, would be the first ones to get shot by the firing squad.
People like entertainers all too often back the wrong horse. They aren’t samrt about people. They have money, but like so many who make dishonest money, they don’t know anything about people.
Only after he is dead will that happen. He’s like Stalin, persecuting to the last breath and keeping that iron grip. Thankfully his successors will not be able to keep freedom from flourishing.
“..it’s a lot easier to espouse an ideology when you don’t have to live the reality of it. We have Hollywood liberals who live a lifestyle of incredible affluence, shop in exclusive shops, and vacation in all the ‘right’ places, but who like to think they are socialists. We have Upper East Side liberals in Manhattan who eat at the trendy restaurants, drink call name liquor and fine wine, and wear very high end clothes, who also like to think of themselves as ‘progressives’ and socialists. They have the luxury of being insulated from the reality of what they think they support.”
Brilliant comments. Think of Hollywood spoiled psychopaths like Sean Penn and John Cusack.
After the USSR was no longer funding them, things went downhill.
**********************
(Playing Devil’s Advocate) Soooo, what made the USSR so prosperous that it could prop up Cuber?
And don't forget a lot of "Western capitalists" were in business with the USSR.
I doubt he even said this. It doesn’t sound like him. I think the reporter didn’t understand the Spanish idiom or something.
“”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.”
Leftist media to Fidel Castro: “RACIST!” Ohhhh....
“Wish he would tell that to BHO, Pelousy and Reid. They’re still true believers.”
The RATS are now officially to the left of Fidel Castro...LOLOLOLOLOL...they are such tools...
Will the American left use their FAVORITE excuse(Cuba did not have the right leader to implement communism) as to why Cuba’s communism did not work??
“Maybe Shatner.”
LOL!
Seeing this, I was very curious what the DUmmies thought about this. Afterall, many of them are supportive of Castro and Communism.

They will play it off that he has become senile or is suffering from dementia.
We can only hope Castro is Catholic and not Muslim. Otherwise, the lies will rule.
"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Reuters quotes Chavez joking on a national TV broadcast.
Always knew he was a vast right-winger.
NAw, they’ll just say he’s senile.
Thank you for providing that link.
I laughed.
I cried.
I threw up a little.
This article made the DUmmies more confused than Anderson Cooper at the Playboy Mansion.
