To Cubans, Fidel Castro presents himself as a man of the people, claiming to make only 900 pesos a month (about $38) and owning no property other than a modest “fisherman’s hut” somewhere on the coast.

In truth, El Jefe is worth hundreds of millions and owns 20 properties, including a chalet where he goes duck hunting every year and a private marina in the Bay of Pigs.

...

Castro has always been a Communist in name only. It was for the consumption of Western Liberals and it worked. He’s really just another mass murdering, sociopathic dictator, whose real heroes are Hitler and Alexander the Great.

Kinda hovering around the poverty line just like the hildebeast and family being dead ass broke and barely making it now. Kinda like putin livin’ in a shack.

To be a Communist, Socialist, Progressive, etc is to be a hypocrit...That is their nature...

This is no surprise at all. The U.S., as far as I know, is the only country with sanctions against Cuba for many years.

When I read the article I was struck by the fact that I missed the reports by both Barber Walters and Ted Turner’s CNN on the disparity of Castro’s image verses his hidden wealth

I wonder how many times a US submarine periscope has had cross hairs on Fidel as he sipped a Mojito on the beach?
