BREAKING NEWS: Long time Communist Cuba leader Fidel Castro dead at age 90

Corruption levels are linked to culture which in turn is heavily influenced by how educated a population is.

Western countries have low levels of corruption because of their liberal culture.

It's not the educational level but the level of transparency and accountability provided by the instutions in place. The thing is Soviet society was way less corrupt in it's earlier stages, it was only when they abandoned the class struggle and got a rigid bureaucracy in place that they became more corrupt. Which you today see in the US especially in regards to their military industrial complex ex. the shitty F35.

A lot of Cuban Americans are celebrating.

Many of them were pissed because or Castro's land reform them greedy fucks.

IN the battle of economic ideologies there is only one winner: Capitalism and that's all I need to say!

Communism doesn't fit well with the human nature. The Communist model assumes that humanity will eventually share (common ownership) and there'll be no human greed present. An assumption history has proven to be false time and time again.

Human nature is not a constant as it adapts to it's enviromental surroundings(i.e. socioeconomic systems). To suggest that in nature there exists definite constants that are not effected by anything withing nature itself is not only crazy but also against scientific understandings of nature. We are product of our enviroment what else could we be a product of?

Capitalism will be replaced just as it replaced feudalism, people under feudalism probably claimed as people claim now that it was nature or "God's Will"(Divine right of kings). To call it human nature is nothing more than ideological hogwash, communism has actually existed for most part of human history ex. hunter-gatherers live in primitive communist societies but I wouldn't have the audacity to call it human nature. Greed is reaction to scarcity, in a society in which means of the production is owned by the people and in an economy planned for the needs of the people you'd probably not see any greed rather than one ruled by an "invisible hand".

I couldn't care for his ideology but I admire how he resisted the American colonisation attempts and how he survived their assassination attempts

Are you seriously suggesting that humans will ever be able to have common ownership and renounce the pursuit of personal profit? I don't think so.

Even Islam's economic model makes more sense than the centrally planned Socialist one.

It is a Utopian idea and I don't believe in Utopias.

And regarding your human development comment, Capitalism supplanted Feudal peasantry only due to the industrial revolution not because humans necessarily changed their 'psyche.'

I can't believe ppl on here worship communists.

The man was a hero RIP and I'll have him as my dp for a week besides Cuba or no Cuba the soviets would've crushed the SNA for getting too greedy.

Getting greedy!!!!whatever

It shows the level of inconsistency some of these users have.

They're admiring a man who was an Atheist and followed a ideology which runs contrary to their faith.

That's not the worst of it. In that sense, it's actually a good thing if you think about it, to be open to other systems etc, I just genuinely don't see the appeal

i think that was his point. capitalism can be supplanted just as it supplanted feudalism. no such thing as human nature, it all depends on external factors

I strongly disagree. How can you say there's no such thing as human nature it's human nature for people to cry at the passing of a beloved one for instance. Which reminds me of another absurdity of the Communist Ideology. How can there ever be a society without governance? This is in fact what the end stage of Communism stipulates.

I can understand Ethiopians here and sheegato Somali have every right to bootyclap the dead Cuban dictator,
but Somalis who are changing their PD to Fidel and supporting him, first the pig had killed your soldiers/your people in 77(loyalty ) Second, you all here are crying from siad barre day and night for being dictator. Then. Cry like orphan for Fidel who did worse than barre. Bunch of hypocrite and retards.

There were issaq soldiers who served and died in 77 by Cuban army. This same man send them to kill your people.
