Santa Castro and the left wing Irish. english version

Fidel Castro is a kind of Santa Claus of the Irish lefty. Bearded, cuddly and grandfather, the Commander is a myth so important for Marxists as Santa Claus is to children.The journalist Eric Le Monte wrote "The Irish leftist factions want to believe that its icon, and most importantly the ideology he represents actually exists. And when you take a look at the political map of toys hidden in the attic or the Wardrobe - (in the case of Cuba, hundreds of political prisoners, the thousands and thousands of exiles and economic migrants for convenience) - the true believers are blind eye is not that the show is so grotesque that could shatter their dreams. "
He continued: "Gerry Adams has visited Santa's grotto in which Castro asked Santa an Irish Socialist Republic, a free health service and even a request that bearded fellow sliding down the chimneys of west Belfast for a visit”.  Although critics of this system, I think would be a perfect solution to the problem of health in the United States and the third world or as Westerners try to disguise it with the name "in developing countries" (?)
 Far from these achievements, of course, Santa Castro's Cuba is not perfect. Who said otherwise? The bureaucratic system is infested, full of officers filling and duplicating the same letter of request to Santa Castro, with derogant not ask what they would most like to have, that would consumerism. Rationalization is partner to all in the material and intellectual. Santa Castro does not want their toys end up in the attic or garage, much less use it against him (many in the United States requested and obtained from Santa Claus a rifle with digital telescopic sight)
Gerry Adams to get any of these things for Christmas present or future is very uncertain, since his party first has to manage to the rule of Stormont in Belfast, while one of his ministers trying in vain to save the dysfunctional NHS in Northern Ireland. Perhaps his last wish can be fulfilled even if the Cuban people will ever have the opportunity to choose their leaders and decide to send to Northern Ireland Santa Castro in a package, excuses me, in a sleigh pulled by "camels"(a kind of urban bus with the shape of a camel) of national production.

Gerry Adams has retired from active politics but always will have more opportunity to throw his arms around Santa Castro that some of his former comrades, as East Germany Erich Honecker and the former president of the Czech Republic, Gustav Husak. Unlike the gray men of poly bureaucrats in Eastern Europe, the combination of rum, cigars, beautiful women, sand, beach and the sun always gave the brand Santa Castro as a sort of sexy  and charisma among the Santas .

 Cuba is a magnet for tourism and ideologues, historians, and curious dreamers worldwide. Even anarchists have modeled a society like Cuba's, of course it is a contradiction, the anarchists in Cuba go to jail. But perhaps Christmas is a contradiction?, we buy things that we do not really need, most gifts are resold as unwanted gifts on eBay and car-boot sale, or just after a couple of goes finish it in the dusty garage or in the living room forgotten  corner    

Many say that Cuba now resembles China, socialist in name only run on Leninist-capitalist lines, combining free markets with a free political system is clearly not a single party. Although not one had proved that  multi-political  society work more efficiently than China.
 Cuba's economic achievements is unfair to compare or even criticize. For many, the embargo is the justification of economic failure in Cuba under  Castro regime. That was one of the objectives of the embargo, Cuba economically weaken and create a catastrophic political and economical situation and with it the end of Castro’s regime. But it is more than 50 years of this embargo and the Cuba doctrines is still stand up and followed by millions of dreamers, from politicians, celebrities and people looking for something more than a bunch of snobs ruling and ruining  their live .  Those who planned a Cuba embargo, did not take into account that a country with financial constraints are unlikely to reach maturity in political opposition. Blocking Cuba failure since its conception, is therefore unjustified, inhuman and criminal anti-Cuban law
According to Eric Le Monte, “the so-called terrorists like ETA and IRA members were housed in Cuba, to escape justice back in Spain and Ireland.” The members of the CIA and MI5 are not lucky enough to be called "terrorists" this is only for the left and Muslims, although CIA organization have caused more deaths, they have more arms, have better technology with the ability to terrorize and militarize five planets earth with its five moons.
According to many sources, including Amnesty International has more than 300 dissidents in Cuba, including trade unionists and writers detained in prison simply for their beliefs. But just because their beliefs there are more than 20 thousand people have been and are imprisoned and tortured by American’s military and secret organization in each corner of the world. According to George Bush in his autobiography (recommended) use of water board torture was necessary to save lives in the UK and U.S.. Amnesty International as the largest organizations are supported financially by the United States and the European Community. All this supports are of course on the wish list to Santa Claus by these organizations.
Many astonished, alarmed that the Irish media did not refer to any of the unpleasant aspects of the scheme during the visit of Gerry Adams to the grotto of Santa Castro. But, neither the U.S. government has imposed a blockade on China and on a recent visit by British Prime Minister David Cameron stressed Chinese President Hu Jintao to the issue of human rights and the case of Liu Xiaobo Nobel Peace Prize for his opposition to prison Chinese government


In the minds of Western leftists, Ireland and Castro's Cuba evokes images of a world that most of the rest of the world has ceased to exist. The legends of "Socialism or Death" and "Hasta la Victoria" with murals of Che, remains as that of Christ in immortality, to recreate a lost arcade, so comforting and intellectually soporific as memories of childhood Christmas. But in the real world of adults is always more complex.

Beyond the slogans of Venceremos  and the five-hour speeches in the attic, out of sight of the children of the revolution, there are some unpleasant memories of the dark side of the system, things that Western leftists rightly never tolerate at home - (oppression, censorship, monopoly of power). Also for Western , because thanks to many emerging hidden truth in Wikileak the world view is at the merge of the political shift. Democracy and Liberty concept has to be rewritten

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all of you……..and to me.
