FIDEL Castro decided his life was complete after watching America destroy itself, it has emerged.

The Cuban revolutionary passed away on Friday after realising that his life’s goal, to witness the demise of the United States and liberal democracy, had come to fruition.

A spokesman for the Cuban government said: “Comrade Fidel drew his strength from the fight against America. That fight is now clearly over, and Fidel won.

“He died peacefully, with a copy of Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal beside him and a big smile on his face.

“Very soon, probably some time in January, the people of New York, Los Angeles and even Miami will realise that democracy is an empty lie, and they will embrace the ideals of Fidel’s communist revolution.”

Political commentator Eleanor Shaw said: “Castro’s Cuba was admired by people all over the world who think access to healthcare, education and vintage cars is more important than free elections.

“And when a free election hands power to a hate-fuelled business amphibian, you wonder if he might have had a point.”
