Ohhhh yeah, forgot about the USSR/USA ones.

But outside of those, I think he was the last one. Not that I know much about them...

On normal internet forums, threads devolve from content into trolling. On Bay12, it's the other way around.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Well, quite frankly if this is the scenario, then one would likely anticipate a power struggle to follow suit, with castro being dead and whatnot, correct?

He was retired for the past 8 years, so I think not really, no.

Yeah, Raul Castro (who's 85) has taken over as leader for the past 8 years. I read somewhere that he was going to step down at the end of his term (whenever that is) and allow elections, but nothing's a given (or guarantee) with a dictatorship.

There have been legit elections all the time.

My hat off to a true legend, who now joins the ranks of giants. The struggle continues.

A lot of Polish media is actually talking about Castro in positive light.
Huh.

The worst I heard was that he was controversial figure and quite sarcastic article about how Fidel died out of boredom.

Castro was a guy who had so much great press and recognizable style it pretty much didn't matter what he actually did, he'd be remembered well regardless. Kind of like the political equivalent of Snoop Dogg.
