Fidel Castro, Cuba’s communist dictator, former president and divisive world figure, died on November 25 at 90 years old—53 years and three days after his nemesis U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Despite their adversarial status, both men were born into wealth via extremely ambitious fathers, both loved sports, both had a mistress weakness, and both fought for their country to oust dictators. That’s where the similarities end.
JFK died young and Castro lived a long, well-heeled life. Castro survived 11 U.S. presidents. Although he didn't live in a palace and streets weren't named for him, Castro still lived more extravagantly and hypocritically than he wanted the world to know. Cuba’s revolution leader wasn’t as modest as he led on. A decade ago, Forbes estimated Fidel Castro’s personal net worth at $900 million. That's a lot of socialist rationing for one person. Luxurious living arrangements were especially appealing to Castro. But for security reasons (after hundreds of assassination attempts), Castro's paranoid personal life and residences were top secret. Even Cuban citizens didn't know where he resided.

This article shows what an absolute joke communism is. The ones in power still have immense wealth whether communist or capitalist. More cons, nothing changes. Whatever ism you choose Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Fascism etc. they all are different forms of deception. Just laughable.
