Fidel Castro, Conventional Dictator

Fidel Castro's ashes were buried in a sort of boulder yesterday after a nine-day cortege trip across Cuba, an island he left in cinders after the long, harsh dictatorship. The island is now ruled by Fidel's brother, Raul, part of the incompetent ruling class that has dominated Cuba since 1959. Change you can believe in? Not really. The reign of the Castro brothers pretty much follows the trajectory of the other prominent Marxist revolutionary movements of the 20th Century.
