I still find Fidel Castro to be an inspiration. I might even go so far
as to say Castro is the last original Leninist. His latest dispatches
regarding the administration of the alleged U.S. president sure have all
the proud contempt Lenin and Trotsky so rightfully showed Wilson and
company. Sure, most of what Castro says are utterances to be heard
anywhere on the left, but his status as a world leader provides these
utterances mass media coverage no one else currently enjoys. I was
especially delighted to read a bit on CNN online (Jan. 25) where Castro
ridiculed the alleged U.S. president, saying 'I hope he's not as dumb as
he seems.' Millions of Americans read that. Made my day.
'Defending banners in easy times is not difficult at all, it's nothing
particularly worthy of merit. Defending banners in difficult
times---that is what's really worthy of merit' (In Defense of Socialism,
Pathfinder Press 1988, p. 32).
