I don't think Fidel said it. He is comparing Gadaffi to a legitimate democratic government that had a militarist putsch that initially failed and dragged out into a civil war that acted as the first stage of WW2.
For this analogy to work the rebels would have to be identifiable as reactionary insurgents and in control of parts of the government. This is not an apt analogy and is frankly quite disgusting. Regardless of the international anticipating for another orgy of bombs falling on civilian sites - like the Spanish Civil War - one cannot draw paradigms between the political programs of 2011 Libya and 1930s Spain.
That is some shameful rhetoric. Fidel, you sir, are engaged in mindless shock rhetoric to defend a poor point. Gadaffi may have been some anti-imperialist hero. 40 years of power turns all men into tyrants and crooks.
As for the no-fly zone, well, it is being instituted - let us hope that the collateral damage is not too widespread. What happens now will simply happen. Accusing other leftists of grevious transgressions against The Orthodox Thought is counter-productive and won't move any discussion forward. I can understand why al-Jazeera (that mouth piece of American propoganda) is showing images of the people of Benghazi celebrating this international action - for them it will mean protection and survival in the short term - it means destruction in Libya in the long term.
No, no, Papal Bull,
What Fidel is saying is that the Libyan People are asking for support, just like the Spanish Libertarias were asking for support.
The Spanish Libertarias wanted support from the people of the U.S.S.R. (they got that until the end of 1938) and Britain and France. What they got was bombing from the Luftwaffe (Nazi German Air Force) and Regia Aeronautica d'Italia (Fascist Italy Air Force.)
The Libyan People want support from Liberated People (Libertarias) around the world.
What they're gonna get is a U.N. mandated U.S./E.U./NATO enforced no-fly zone and air-to-ground war.
SOMETHING THE (LIBYAN) PEOPLE DO NOT WANT!!!!!!
