Castro resigns as president, state-run paper reports - CNN.comWell, son of a bitch! I guess being a communist dictator can lead to a long life, ending in retirement. I wonder if technical colleges will be developing courses for budding communist dictators.
HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) -- Fidel Castro announced his resignation as president of Cuba and commander-in-chief of Cuba's military Tuesday, according to a letter published in the state-run newspaper, Granma.

Sorry, but to be a successful communist dictator your need upper middle class or higher parents who are willing to allow you to waste a lot of time in college getting multiple degrees where you can finally see the light - poor people need you to lead them.
If you think I'm just being snarky, look at a biographies of Castro, Lenin, Che, etc. They weren't any different than the Shrubbery as far as background goes.
Ghandi was an upper class lawyer, like Fidel, before he started his movement.
Apparently poor people don't know what they need, so their "betters" have to show them the way.
Power to the people! [as long as they are the right sort of people. know what I mean?]
