In the wake of the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, several college professors defended his legacy and praised the man for what they described as his vision, courage and strength against colonialism, capitalism and racism.

Take Erik Loomis, a history professor at the University of Rhode Island, who in his blog post “Castro: It’s Complicated!” argued against thinking about Castro “in terms of simplistic moral judgments.”

Says the guy who is part of an ideology that regularly screams 'Hate!' 'Bigotry!' 'Racist!' and 'Ignorant!' uncounted times a day all over the country.
The Republic is lost.
