Oh, no, 2016. It's too late to start sucking up to us now.

Goodnight, sweet Dictator.

Hopefully Cuba is a step closer to the end of their nightmare with his death.

I'm wondering if Jesse Jackson hit his head on an ambulance that stopped unexpectantly.

In many ways, after 1959, the oppressed the world over joined Castro's cause of fighting for freedom & liberation-he changed the world. RIP pic.twitter.com/ReOLnMCxE7

I'm not sure Stein would be any better than Trump...

Fidel Castro was a symbol of the struggle for justice in the shadow of empire. Presente!

I think Stein is the only person I'd like less as president.

Complex person in complex times.

Probably a lesser evil than Batista

But still evil

We have to stop celebrating and jumping in the streets everytime someone we don;t like as a nation dies. It's not a good look internationally, and it's wrong. Dorothy doesn't celebrate as much I saw people (we have a lot of Miami folks here at SHC) did.

I agree with the gist that we shouldn't celebrate anyone's passing, although I could give a rat's ass how we look internationally anyway. We shouldn't celebrate simply because it is wrong, no matter who dies.

We, however, are under no obligation to celebrate this person's life, nor is it wrong for us to decry anyone who comes out in his favor, if that is our opinion
