Where are you Fidel Castro?

I’ll tell you what the rebels in Libya need. A Fidel Castro-type leader. Someone capable of pulling off a revolution from the grassroots. A dedicated idealist. Maybe even a communist ideologue. Castro pulled it off in Cuba. In dazzling fashion. And the Cubans have been better off for it. They’ve molded a decent society. Much better than what they had under capitalist dictator Batista. And in Cuba, it’s been a long-lasting thing. Truly appreciated by most Cubans. Castro has shown that communism can work. When the system is run properly. I suppose capitalism could work, too. If run properly. But too often it’s corrupt. And turns into an oligarchy. Meanwhile, if the rebels in Libya fail to come up with an extraordinary leader, they may fail. Because Gadhafi is ruthless. And merciless. He’ll see to it that innocent people are killed. Murdered. Just to save his own regime. The Libyans deserve something better. But they won’t get it. Unless they are willing to die for their cause. Unless they get the proper leadership. Where are you Fidel Castro? –Jim Broede
