The last big leader remnant of the Cold War era is finally dead.

It's kind of... sad. Sort of, in a weird way. But yeah, rip.

Ironically, I was just reading Cold War era stuff yesterday.

I'm not really sad though, hopefully this opens the door for better US-Cuban relations.

So, did the CIA finally get an assassination attempt to work?

Really? What kind of shit school did you go to? Castro was one of the biggest players during the 60s and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I feel like Deci not paying attention in class is much more likely in this situation.

Makes sense.

I don't know about that. He was kind of a big enough figure to where you'd think he'd have heard his name somewhere at some point.

You're not one to talk if I did or not, Nuka.

Seriously, the only thing world history talked about the most was World War 1 and 2. We didn't really learn jack shit about the cold war let alone the Cuban Missile Crises.

Gee. I'm sorry that I've never heard of this guy before. Even my own family was like "Are you serious?"

I am. I never heard of the guy, but after this, I'm going to start taking a look at who he was.

Well I know who he is now. Or should I say was since he's dead. I'll give you guys the abridged version in case I'm doubted now.

Prime Minister until the 60s and then President of Cuba until 2008. He formed a group called The Movement during The Cuban Revolution in the 50s. If I'm understanding this correctly, he was the face of Marxism?

Verbatim · November 26, 2016, 11:35:50 PM

...

No. Karl Marx was the face of Marxism.

You could argue that El Che was the face of marxism in a more literal sense, but that's a bit of strange case.
