Colin Kaepernick, Round II.... Colin the Communist

Kneeling in obeisance to Castro, a mass murderer.  Good one, Colin!

I've already had a go at Nike, in my previous post of about the New Nike kNeeler, Colin KaeperNike.
There's more:

If you ever wondered what it would take to get the woke Social Justice Warrior crowd to loudly support a multinational corporation with nearly $35 billion in revenue in 2017; that pays its assembly line workers about 2.5 percent of production costs; that faces accusations that its factories bar independent inspections of working conditions; whose workers frequently faint from heat and exhaustion, and suffer wage theft, forced overtime, restrictions on their use of toilets, exposure to toxic solvents, and padlocked exit doors . . . well, apparently Colin Kaepernick is all that it takes.

What about Colin to Communist? There he is, above, with a T-shirt commemorating a meeting between a couple of lovely lads: Malcolm X and Fidel Castro.
Castro was horrible.  Horrible, horrible, horrible.  For Cuba, for Cubans, for the world.  Here's one write up of just how horrible:

Fidel Castro represented the worst of the worst of Latin America’s centralizing tradition. In the region’s history, nobody had so much control over so many aspects of people’s lives for so long a period as he did. He achieved it through sheer intolerance and cruelty. From the beginning of the revolution, he did not hesitate to imprison and execute his closest allies, “friends” and even children when it served his purposes.

How could he fool so many for so long?  Well, the likes of Colin are either Fools or Knaves, and I think Colin is the former.  He was and remains bamboozled, because:

... he [Castro] was a master of deceit and a cunning manipulator of public opinion; in person, he was a “snake charmer” in the words of Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa. As Yale Professor Carlos Eire notes, “His lies were beautiful and so appealing.”

Even The Guardian faults Castro, though Zoe Willliams reverts to the "it wasn't true socialism" meme.  Castro was "an insult to the left", don't you know.  And the worst that Zoe can find to say of Castro is that he was "authoritarian", a "dictator".  Well, sure. A dictator who killed millions, jailed millions and impoverished still more millions.  And had a baleful influence on millions in other parts of the world that decided to follow his benighted ideas, from Angola to Zimbabwe. That's his legacy.
So shame on Colin for having his heaving hirsute visage on his T-shirt.
Just Don't Do It!
