Fidel and the Patriotic 90%
By A. Shaw
Those people in the picture [G10, Dec. 4, 2016, Houston Chronicle] celebrating Fidel Castro’s death look like ghouls.
Are they?
Do most Cuban Americans in Miami look like that?
The dictionary says a ghoul is an evil spirit that robs graves and feeds on the dead.
Those people in Miami will likely flock to Santiago de Cuba to dig in Fidel’s grave.
But how can they eat Fidel’s remains?
Fidel asked that his remains be cremated into ashes.
Perhaps ghouls don’t care how their supper tastes.
The living in Miami are probably thankful that their ghouls feed on the dead.
Unquestionably, reactionary Cuban Americans [not Cubans] in Miami are evil spirits.
Fidel shared the food on his plate but did he offer you a puff on his cigar?
Capitalists or cappies dominate the world. And at least 90 percent of the world lives in extreme poverty.
About 10% of the world is fat and comfortable.
So, capitalism is a disaster.
Like ghouls, the privileged 10% feeds on the oppressed 90%.
Fidel was a proletarian democrat who insisted that the people must chiefly exercise state power and chiefly exercise power  for the 90%.
Most of the so-called “patriots” are either bourgeois democrats or lackeys of bourgeois democrats who insist that the 10% chiefly exercise power and chiefly for the 10%.
The 10% are rotten and parasitic.
True patriots are proletarian democrats like Fidel Castro.
Long live the 90%!
Power to the 90%!
