Oh happy day.
Nothing makes May Day more festive than the presence of tyrants and their puppets at massive rallies.
Havana (AFP) – Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro joined President Raul Castro at a huge May Day rally in Havana on Friday in a show of socialist unity at an uncertain time for both countries.
Dressed in his army general’s uniform, Castro saluted thousands of people as they passed the reviewing stand at the Plaza of the Revolution in the Cuban capital.
As the guest of honor, Maduro, the leader of Cuba’s closest ally and longtime benefactor, was at his side.
The annual rally and parade is being held this year against a backdrop of a thaw in Cuban relations with the United States and a deepening crisis in oil-rich Venezuela, which has undercut public support for Maduro.
“Some steps have already been taken to re-establish diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States, but we have a long and difficult road to travel,” said Ulises Guilarte, the head of the Cuban Workers Union, the sole speaker at the rally.
“We will only advance toward the normalization of bilateral relations on a basis of respect for the sovereignty, the independence of Cuba, which includes the lifting of the blockade and the return of territory usurped by the US naval base at Guantanamo,” Guilarte said.

The dynasty propaganda is not using recent photos of Fidel Castro with his mouth agape, reminiscent of Chairman Mao in his last days.
Creaky old men really should not wear military garb in public, especially when they were never real military in the first place. It’s an insult to both propriety and intelligence. Of course, it fits perfectly with the characteristic Castro kitsch, which however familiar remains eternally cringe-worthy.
