Is it me, or do leftist hipsters either
1. Try to distance themselves from communism
or
2. Try to romanticize communism
So what is it, /leftypol/ + reddit lurkers. Is there a consensus that communism fails or do you still have wet dreams about living in Fidel Castro land???

Damn commies
>(((ABC news))) with George Kikenopolopius
Castro was a based nationalist. Shouldn't you people like him? He disallowed Cubans from leaving thus no immigration to America unless you defected.
>to tribute of notables lost in 2016
Whether you like it or not, Fidel Castro is definitely a notable man. He almost single handily put Americans shitting their pants with the missile crisis and was the leader of one of the most remarkable regimes of the 20th century, and most certainly the most remarkable Latin american 20th century regime.
When have lefties ever really distanced themselves from communists?
Did they just wait until society pressured them, and they said just enough to take the heat off of them?
commie detected
The fact that most people on the street would have a vauge idea who the fuck you're talking about when you say castro makes him notable.
ABC is not leftist... they shilled for Jeb! until he was out, then teetered around Trump
Fucking commie scum.
Fidel Castro's death was the greatest """loss""". Fuck off commies.
Russia made us shit our pants. Cuba was a plot of land to stage the missiles on.
>comparing Kim Jung Un to Fidel Castro
Come one now, let's be serious.
>Adding Castro to tribute that ends with "prayers to the families of those that were lost".
Can't wait for Kim Jung Un's debut!
>has nuclear missles
>long standing regime
>everyone knows his name
Yeah, totally not comparable, faggot.
>disallowed Cubans from leaving
Signs of communist paradise, comrade!
>>has nuclear missles
pakistan has nuclear missiles
>long standing regime
So? Other then memes no one gives a fuck about North Korea
>>everyone knows his name
Only because it's a strange sounding name. I doubt 80% of the population could not distinguish between the name of the father and the current one. I personally can't, and desu i don't know which one Kim Jung Un is.
You can't really compare the notability of Fidel Castro and Kim Jung Un
>most remarkable latin american 20th century regime
>not pinochet
gtfo
Tell me, where did those missiles come from? People were afraid of the missiles, not the irrelevant shithole containing them.
>People were afraid of the missiles
People were afraid of where the missiles were. American people knew very well that USSR had thousands of nukes.
So yes, it was Castro that made Americans shit their pants
Pinochet is only remembered by edgy right wingers online activists, people over 40, and of course, Chileans and South Americans in general
>Only because it's a strange sounding name
>doubt 80% of the population could not distinguish between the name of the father and the current one
Sorry, nobody is stupid as you are. Pronunciation is the only reason anyone pays attention to North Korea's leader? Yeah, Americans are SOOO interested by korean names. Stay dumb.
>So? Other then memes no one gives a fuck about North Korea
And everyone's excited about Cuba? Really, now.
>You can't really compare the notability of Fidel Castro and Kim Jung Un
You literally said that Fidel Castro being included in the tribute is a result of "single handily putting americans shitting in there pants" and having a "remarkable regime".
Kim Jong Un ticks both of those boxes, dumbass.
>muh soviet commie friends put nukes on my island and suddenly no-one wants to risk open war with me, SO ACCOMPLISHED
>Civic Nationalist View
Moors gonna Moor.
Well he's certainly notable. Probably the most notable person to pass all year in all honesty. I'm i glad he's gone? Sure. But even if I hate the man he's notable.
>only the leftists on Sup Forums are redditors
negro, plz
>"prayers to the families of those that were lost."
it's a "tribute". to tribute is to remember with fondness, which no one should do while remembering fidel castro
where's the video?
kys you cripplechan cunt
Where have you been the past few years fag? Commie threads were almost always ignored before the election.
Castro is a hero to workers all over the world
How do you feel knowing Hitler is loathed?
>And everyone's excited about Cuba?
The death of Fidel Castro sparked enormous interest around the world.
>Kim Jong Un ticks both of those boxes, dumbass.
lol no. The general public nover got scared of north koreans, i don't know where you are getting this.
And North Korean regime is as remarkable as playing Pokemon fire red again.
>Castro is a hero to workers all over the world
>implying commies know how to work
>notables
Are you saying he wasn't notable? retard.
Nice meme
>The death of Fidel Castro sparked enormous interest around the world.
Also celebration. Nobody likes commies until they are dead.
>
lol no. The general public nover got scared of north koreans, i don't know where you are getting this.
Nobody was afraid of cubans either. People were afraid of M.A.D. America wants Kim Jong Un gone, they can't do it. America wanted Fidel Castro gone, they couldn't do it.
But keep thinking that the Cuban regime is much more "remarkable", lol. You're fucking stupid- Cuba couldn't even have its own nuclear program without the soviets.
>tl;dr soviet nukes, castro didn't do shit
>tribute to notables
Do you understand what people do by making a "tribute" to someone? Get back to your goat.
>Try to romanticize communism
Yes. Yes they definitely do.
>Pic related.
>America wanted Fidel Castro gone, they couldn't do it.
Based Fidel
Since when do you need to like him to consider him a notable figure, which he surely fucking was. A lot more notable than some shitty actors or two bit musicians.
>Also celebration. Nobody likes commies until they are dead.
The only people who celebrated where the cuban expats iirc.
>Nobody was afraid of cubans either. People were afraid of M.A.D.
The only became a threat to USA because of Fidel. Ence is why i am saying that Fidel made Americans shit their pants
>But keep thinking that the Cuban regime is much more "remarkable", lol. You're fucking stupid- Cuba couldn't even have its own nuclear program without the soviets.
I'm starting to thin k you might be a Miami citizen...
>But keep thinking that the Cuban regime is much more "remarkable", lol.
It survived in a completely hostile environment, surrounded by enemies and with the most powerful country in the world just 50 miles away constantly plotting to bring down the regime.
I think it's much more remarkable then being a China puppet that not even South koreans take seriously
>brit bong with zero concept of what a tribute is
you shouldn't produce offpsring if you think that Fidel Castro was irrelevant, regardless of anyone's subjective opinion on him.
>The only people who celebrated where the cuban expats iirc.
And kim jong un would be its own news cycle if he died. Get real.
>The only became a threat to USA because of Fidel. Ence is why i am saying that Fidel made Americans shit their pants
Deflecting from the fact that soviet nukes were on his island
>I'm starting to thin k you might be a Miami citizen...
Not an argument.
>It survived in a completely hostile environment, surrounded by enemies and with the most powerful country in the world just 50 miles away constantly plotting to bring down the regime.
North korean sanctions, they have no friends etc etc.
We can call Fidel Castro a soviet puppet as well.
You really are an embarrassment to yourself.
amerifats can't grow to their 90's.
they're oldest person alive is 700 pounds.
You shouldn't produce offspring if you can't see the word T-R-I-B-U-T-E in the title.
He is notable because of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and was a player in a game that almost ended the world. But he has done more harm than good for his people and should not be romanticized like Che "I hate Black people" Guevara.
You shouldn't produce offspring if you can't infer the very obvious fact that I wasn't adressing the article but your blatant antogonism.
>antagonism
>small brain brazilian embarassed that he didn't notice the world tribute
I'm not bothered by the fact that Times magazine makes covers with controversial figures, but you probably inferred that also, did you? Hopefully you have an extra brain cell to rub against if you're going to reply with another sad comment.
First world leftists need to be given a free plane ticket to their nearest socialist 'utopia'
>And kim jong un would be its own news cycle if he died. Get real.
And the international attention would be a fraction of the one that is being given to Castro.
Are you forgetting about the fact that the father of Kim Jong Un died a couple of years ago? And pretty much no one really cared about the guy. I bet you don't even know the guys name without searching.
>Deflecting from the fact that soviet nukes were on his island
I'm not deflecting lol. That is exactly the point. USSR could have tens of thousands of nuclear bombs, but as long as the bombs stayed in USSR there was minimal threat. But once those bombs were in 50 miles range of USA, the story is completely different. And this was only possible thanks to Fidel. I don't even know what you are trying to say.
>We can call Fidel Castro a soviet puppet as well.
No because the regime survived the fall of USSR
>getting this triggered over a word in the title of a youtube video with 200 views
That is the definition of pathetic
>And the international attention would be a fraction of the one that is being given to Castro.
North korea is in international news FAR more often than Cuba, dumbass. Aside from the sanctions being lifted, Cuba doesn't get half the news headlines from the basket case in North Korea. Stay mad, though.
>Are you forgetting about the fact that the father of Kim Jong Un died a couple of years ago? And pretty much no one really cared about the guy. I bet you don't even know the guys name without searching.
Cute coming from the person who says he can't tell the difference between the father and son.
>I'm not deflecting lol. That is exactly the point. USSR could have tens of thousands of nuclear bombs, but as long as the bombs stayed in USSR there was minimal threat.

Still nothing more than what North Korea has done- actually, North Korea can have its own nuclear program unlike Cuba.
>No because the regime survived the fall of USSR
But North Korea is a puppet of China dispite having rocky relationships in recent times. LOL okay. Meanwhile castro's only teeth are a gift from the soviets, but he isn't a puppet.
>That is the definition of pathetic
>Responding to a comment that could have answered itself by reading the last reply
Stay mad.
>After the Nazi seizure of power Leow fled abroad. From 1935 he lived in the Soviet Union. He worked as an editor and head of the German state publishing house in the Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1936, he was arrested during the Stalinist purges and sentenced on October 3, 1937 for organizing a Trotskyist-terrorist group in the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR to death and was shot
Oh the ironing
Communist and Their Ideology in a Nutshell
>straying this hard from the initial argument
We were comparing personalities, not countries.
>We were comparing personalities, not countries.
>Muh Fidel personality was why he was notable
LOL yeah, faggot his personality was the only reason he was remembered and totally nothing about those nukes in his island.
Stay stupid.
Media conglomerates think that the marxists of today envisioned the exact same end goal as the Bulsheviks
This.
You can't just dismiss a guy based on his ideology. Not to mention the communism there wasn't so cancerous like in other parts of the world.
>>Muh Fidel personality was why he was notable

Liberals are communist, domestic enemies that will push their own cleansing.
Cuba is the only example of communism working relatively well, that is taking wealth from the rich and actually giving it to the poor and uplifting living standards. Havana was a cesspool of Jewish degeneracy until the Castro brothers kicked them out, with most of the wealth generated going to the dictator at the time.
Fidel wasn't great, but he was a lot better than the former dictator. And in the end, he at least acknowledged that centralized markets will never stimulate growth and encouraged his brother to implement more capitalist policies.
Fidel is the only commie I'll ever shill for, I recommend people look at the real facts and not just 'HURR DURR LE COMMIE' but seriously look at how it changed the lives of the people living in Cuba.
>Learn definitions of words
And where is his notoriety derived from? Soviet nukes.
Here's what you said first:
>We were comparing personalities, not countries.
Stay stupid. Kim Jong Un's personality is exactly the same by your own definition.
Thanks for the confirmation of your retardation.
Castro was based as hell.
Cuba is whiter and safer than most American cities. If "freedom" means the freedom to get Jewed out of everything you own and grab your ankles for niggers and faggots, I'll take Communism any day.
>And where is his notoriety derived from? Soviet nukes.
That was my first point you tard. You can see it hereWhat the fuck are you arguing now? Are you just insulting me for the sake of it?
But his notoriety is not only derived from the nukes...
>Stay stupid. Kim Jong Un's personality is exactly the same by your own definition.
?????
lol what are you saying?
> by your own definition.
What definition?
>That was my first point you tard.
Exactly. So why are you pissing yourself when I point out that Kim Jong Un is at the same level of "notable" as Fidel Castro?
You're the idiot walking around in circles.
Then you said that we need to compare "personality".
Here's the definition that you prefer:
>a person of importance, prominence, renown, or notoriety
Kim Jong Un has the same level of notable "personality" by this definition.
Typical dumbass doesn't even know his own argument.
>left-leaning media making a big deal over Castro
hmmmmmm really activates my almonds
He was pretty based, not even a lefty and I agree with that. He was a nationalist who secured his countries independence from (((American business))) and was staunchly anti-globalism. The only reason he implemented Marxism was because the USA was his number one enemy and he needed a strong ally against them.
Say what you will about Castro but he fought for his beliefs and won. Not just that but he was able to survive countless assassination and coup attempts by the most powerful military in the world, all from a little Island in the Caribbean. He died a warrior and a champion for his cause. A truly Honorable Death.
Like it or not he was one of the most important figures in the 20th century.
literally putting words in my mouth and inventing shit
>Kim Jong Un has the same level of notable "personality" by this definition.
lol wat? I cannot understand what you are saying.
You are just arguing for the sake of arguing, i don't even know what you are trying to say.
Fact remains Castro was one of the most famous statesmen in the 20th century, and is in no way comparable to kim jung un or whatever north korean puppet you want to invent.
>lol wat? I cannot understand what you are saying.
It's because you're too incompetent to rub together two brain cells. It's literally plain english.
>Fact remains Castro was one of the most famous statesmen in the 20th century, and is in no way comparable to kim jung un or whatever north korean puppet you want to invent.
>People only paid attention to Castro because of soviet nukes
>People only pay attention to Kim Jong Un because of his nuclear program
Keep trying to deflect from the fact that these two are both notable for the nukes and regimes- and SO are comparable.
Dumbass. Stay stupid.
With capitalism you build a wall to keep people out, with communism you build one to keep people in, that alone should show you that it's a failure of an ideology.
SAD
If we didn't care about the losses on their side we could have steamrolled Castro at any moment.
Check'em lads.
