Communist Manifesto II: The Quickening

Fidel Castro has released a 1,000 page memoir according to Cuban officials.  The document, detailing his life and times as well the rise of Communism in Cuba, is said to be a very enlightening read.

I dunno how to go with this joke: 

1) Fidel Castro can't understand how a capitalist like Steve Jobs will be better remembered with a book than a man who sent a small island paradise into a Communist wasteland.

2) He feels Kim Jong Il stole his communist thunder as World's Craziest Communist.  It hurts to be second best.

Either way, I am not much of a history buff so I can not really comment.  I would love it if a communist diary hit the best seller list, though.  The irony is spectacular.
