From the Washington Post:

If this were a just world, 13 facts would be etched on Castro's tombstone and highlighted in every obituary, as bullet points — a fitting metaphor for someone who used firing squads to murder thousands of his own people.

• He turned Cuba into a colony of the Soviet Union and nearly caused a nuclear holocaust.
  
• He sponsored terrorism wherever he could and allied himself with many of the worst dictators on earth.
  
• He was responsible for so many thousands of executions and disappearances in Cuba that a precise number is hard to reckon.
  
• He brooked no dissent and built concentration camps and prisons at an unprecedented rate, filling them to capacity, incarcerating a higher percentage of his own people than most other modern dictators, including Stalin.
  
• He condoned and encouraged torture and extrajudicial killings.
  
• He forced nearly 20 percent of his people into exile, and prompted thousands to meet their deaths at sea, unseen and uncounted, while fleeing from him in crude vessels.
  
• He claimed all property for himself and his henchmen, strangled food production and impoverished the vast majority of his people.
  
• He outlawed private enterprise and labor unions, wiped out Cuba's large middle class and turned Cubans into slaves of the state.
  
• He persecuted gay people and tried to eradicate religion.
  
• He censored all means of expression and communication.
  
• He established a fraudulent school system that provided indoctrination rather than education, and created a two-tier health-care system, with inferior medical care for the majority of Cubans and superior care for himself and his oligarchy, and then claimed that all his repressive measures were absolutely necessary to ensure the survival of these two ostensibly “free” social welfare projects.
  
• He turned Cuba into a labyrinth of ruins and established an apartheid society in which millions of foreign visitors enjoyed rights and privileges forbidden to his people.
  
• He never apologized for any of his crimes and never stood trial for them.

In sum, Fidel Castro was the spitting image of Big Brother in George Orwell's novel “1984.” So, adiós, Big Brother, king of all Cuban nightmares. And may your successor, Little Brother, soon slide off the bloody throne bequeathed to him.

Farewell to Cuba's Brutal Big Brother

Grandpa Jetson was George Jetson's father on The Jetsons cartoon show. The show was about a family living in the year 2062 - one hundred years in the future. It was produced in the early '60s. Grandpa Jetson was 110 years old. In other words Grandpa Jetson was the future selves of the children who were watching the show in 1962. This was not lost on us. We were Grandpa Jetson. We were going to see great things happen in our lives. Perhaps not the things in the television show, but wondrous things indeed.

Then something came and killed it all. And it wasn't our getting older. It was the rise of Statism in the West that murdered the future. Statism kills everything good. And now children are actually afraid of making a future. Many want to unmake the future. Grandpa Jetson has been murdered in them too.

Fidel Castro murdered very real Grandpa Jetsons. He murdered the future in millions of lives and hearts by extinguishing all the fire in all the hearts that he could.

He is one of the many that murdered Grandpa Jetson.

And let's not forget your earlier post on this subject:

America just before LBJ's Great Society and Bernie

Thank Marx that the leftists saved us from flying cars! When else could the radio pravda indoctrinate me but in the daily traffic jams?

By the way: maybe if hillary would have worn military fatigues and an unkempt beard Fidel-Style, she would have had more street cred with milennials?

A good idea for the leaders of the future...

Alas! Too much madness and too little photoshop time!

yeah, greedy kkkapitalism ― that's all we needed! the moment we have been waiting for!
flying cars, even more CO2, and pumped directly into our precious air environment! /sarc.

on a second thought, hmm... if electric?... hurry up, hurry up, go tell Obama! He could do it, right now, before January 20th! give a dreamy flyin' moonshot speech! His legacy, His legacy! eureka!!!

Was that not what the pantsuits were all about?

PROGG OFF: Lest we forget, by urging the USSR to put nuclear capable missiles on his island, he created an incredibly dangerous and unstable situation that could have easily led to the deaths of tens of millions of Americans and hundreds of millions worldwide.

Comradette "ex-OSU-Staff" RedDiaperette : you mean, pantsuits as military fatigues, like in the era of Womyn SpecOps and Transgender―Agender―Bigender―Pangender SEALs ?

Also genderfluid. Ask not for whom the gender flows....

Gender Fluid...sounds a bit rude, dunnit?

Other Ivan,

Fear not-- that gender fluid stuff can be easily cleaned up with a tissue and some water,

Oh, and you don't want any of that in your jar...

In case your pixel-skimming software spots "Führer", and now all your bells 'n whistles go bananas in Shrillary Mode, please instruct your programmers to refine the said software [you know, the parametric lib of keywords], as that "führer" refers a piece of most nuanced art, otherwise known as Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

In case your software, now spurred on by "Bomb", again goes full amok ‒ please note (reference to sublime art aside, for a while) that we all here are peace-loving Comrades, and Mr. Minitrue first of all ‒ as you can clearly see here. Yes, we love no bomb (uh, well, apart from bombs like, say, Marilyn M), we love Supranational Peace ‒ like that one finally brought to Humanity by our glorious Nobel Prizer from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

On the subject of the future, I was browsing through Youtube and found this film from 1967. It's a big prediction of what 1999 would look like. It's interesting to see that a lot of this film has come true, we just brought it to life in a different form. Although the middle class in this film is a LOT stronger than it actually was in 1999!
