Castro To Obama, A Case Study Of Egoism and Egotism

The Young Castro Enjoys a Cubano With Confidence

What type of man wants to live as an Elite Socialist Leader? The two leading Socialists of the Western Hemisphere can give us an inside look at the personality of an entry level Socialist President and the final days of a Socialist dictator.

Jeffrey Goldberg writing for the Atlantic has scored a major scoop of an interview one of the first of the twenty first century, an interview with Fidel Castro. There were three profound subjects expressed by Castro that can and should affect the Socialist Ideology of our own President: the Cuban economic policy, the Cuban Missile Crisis, as well as Castro's views on Iran and Israel.

The two leaders, Castro and Obama, have both been susceptible to egoism and egotism. Castro is now retired and reflecting back on fifty years of trying to build a Socialist Utopia in Cuba, but in the beginning he was both the consummate egoist and egotist. (In a literary definition, rather than a neurological definition) An egoist perceives all questions in relationship to oneself and having exalted opinions of self and the ability to derive and know the correct answer or direction in all matters. With a leader the state becomes the self, the ideas of others or their wishes are only obstacles to that they must over come to see the wisdom of the Elite Leader. The egotist is merely wrapped up in his opinion of himself, a Narcissist who is easily identified by over use of the word "I". He merely occupies conversation with boastfulness and boring expressions of how he is accomplishing all the mundane challenges of life, job, or office. At first, people are interested until they realize the speaker is no more unique than anyone else and possibly less. A common result of over exposure for the Narcissist.

The difference is a measure of degree and possibly of neurosis and psychosis. An egotist may just be a bore and an insecure person, not necessarily selfish to the point of being pathological. An egoist has advanced the disorder to the point of a psychopathic disorder or to a degree that the earth or at least a country revolves around him.

The young Socialist is only just realizing that reforming the US into a Socialist Utopia isn’t going that well. He stills seems to be enraptured in egotism and is still overly fond of his persona;

"Young socialist" is only half of the equation where Obama is concerned. For that reason, he will not stop what he is doing. He wants to bring America down:
