    Savimbi used to say first - "Mr.President....I've come here like a friend. I've come here not to ask for something...No...."

    Reagan was charmed by him.



    But!








    What game was he playing....

    What was in his head....

    Only Devil knows.






    Well educated, charismatic, inspiring confidence among the powerful.
    And a demon at the same time.

    Controversial figure....and, for me, Negative.
    What a good person Savimbi is, but what happened to the army after his death?

    As far as we know, soon after his death UNITA abandoned armed struggle and participated in electoral politics.
    His soldiers were granted amnesty.

    Savimbi was not a good person, of course, he was terribly splitted inside.
    He was torn by an inner contradictions.

    One of the most important his contradiction was - nationalism vs internationalism.

    May be it has something to do with his childhood, relatives, father......we don't know everything.
    Something made him deep nationalist inside.

    At the same time, he was a "commie sympothizer" as the west would call him.

    Not only sympothizer but being a well eductated person, he understood it.
    He grew up to be a communist inside.
    Fool or not-educated person will never be a "commie sympothizer". It's impossible.

    He wanted his party fellows read and understand dialectical materialism.
    He was an understanding communist inside.
    Not some motto-shouting communist, in heart.

    At the same time, he was ill with nationalism.
    But communism rejects any nationalism. Nationalism contradicts communism.
    Only internalionalism.

    He knew it.....and was torn inside.

    (May be it was one of the reason why China was closer to him than Soviet Union.)

    In the meantime he had to be in alliance with South African racists.
    Military circumstances forced him to become their friends.

    He didn't like them.

    It's clearly seen in his interviews where he mentions them.
    It's written all over his face.
    Especially when he is trying to protect apartheid regime in South Africa.
    "They're in minority and they're afraid..."

    How can african nationalist like south african white racists?!

    This made him even more torn inside.


    The man was made of contradictions and they tore him apart.
    Which could not but affect his character and people around.
    What made him sometimes extremely violent.






    And we shouldn't forget how long time ago....in Portugal... he refused to pass the exam on the knowledge of fascism.
    He didn't get diploma because of that!

    So many years of study, work and not to get a diploma at the very end.

    Such a simple exam.

    It would seem - say a few words and take it. He could justify himself later that he was forced to do it. Everyone did it.
    But he refused.
    I think it says something about him.
    He was a man of principle.

    And when he died... many people refused to believe it.
    A man under the protection of gods can't just die in battle.

    Central Television had to show his dead body from different angles, for people to believe it.


    After all, a controversial figure.
    A man who was awe inspiring by his mere presence.

    Torn by internal contradictions and torments....

    ...which affected his violence.

    The map probably won't have any regions of snow. But a desert-like area is probable as Cuba has small desert areas. What I'm trying to say is it seems like it will be missing only one of the five to six major natural environments in many open world games. Snow areas, deserts, beaches, grasslands, mountains, and forests/jungles. I lumped in tropical with temperate in the forests/jungles category.

    But the world is changing.

    It is hoped... for the better, in the end.


    Anyway, the long Cubans' Odyssey in Africa has brought positive results.
    Apartheid was over.
    Namibia and Angola gained independence.

    As they say - By their fruits you will know them!


    And a huge role belongs to Fidel Castro in this.
    In all this, he personally played a major role. From the beginning to the end.

    Only to get all these soldiers, secretely, across the ocean was very hard.

    Local people in Angola said later that when the cubans came...."For the first time in our life we saw that white people could do something good."
    They were sure that nothing good could be expected from the whites in principle.
    Who did they see? Portuguese commandos and South African racists.

    Cubans came with doctors, teachers, engineers, builders....

    Nelson Mandela wrote from the jail - First time people came to our continent not to take something but to give.
    Cubans came not for resources but to help.

    That's why for many africans Fidel Castro is a hero.
    Even the western press recognizes this.

    Amazing, but some said that Fidel Castro was a hero and a villain

    Spartacus. Is he a hero or a villain?

    Let's imagine us in the time of Rome.....


    For oppressed - he is a hero.
    But for Rome - he is a villain.

    He is a troublemaker. Someone who dared to go against the System.
    Someone who didn't want to play by the generally accepted rules and who didn't want to be integrated into that system.


    Castro. Is he a hero or a villain?

    Let's return to present times.
    And......

    Nothing has changed.

    For oppressed - he is a hero.
    For "Rome" (present day "Rome") - he is a villain.

    A troublemaker. Someone who dared to go against System.
    Someone who didn't want to play by the generally accepted rules and who didn't want to be integrated into the system.

    Nothing has changed.



    Where is Rome and where is Spartacus now?

    No more Rome, no more its system.
    But Spartacus is more than alive!

    Mothers call their sons by this name, football and sport clubs are called by this name....
    Spartacus today is a symbol of heroism.
    Absolute Hero.

    And what about Rome? Symbol of what is Rome today?
    The same will be repeated again.



    Speaking about revolution in general......

    The development of humanity doesn't always proceed smoothly and peacefully.
    It evolves to a certain point but to move to a qualitatively new level a revolutionary changing is needed.

    The water is heated 30 degree... 50, 70, 90....99 and then there is a revolutionary changing - water becomes steam.

    The same with the development of humanity.
    It evolves, evolves, evolves, 99 degree....and - revolutionary changing.
    Evolution, evolution, evolution ...and revolution. New level.
    Then again evolution, evolution...and revolution.

    There were and there will always be people who don't like the revolution.
    People against whose interests this revolution is being made. Minority. Minority taking advantage of the existing order.
    People who want to leave the things as they are.

    Revolution is always made in the interests of the majority.
    If not - it's only coup d'etat and clans share power.

    That minority inside country and people who can't get their benefits outside country - they hate the revolution and its leaders.
    These people want everything back as it was before.

    Such people will always say that revolution is evil and revolution leaders are villains.

    That minority inside country will always colloborate with those, who had lost their benefits because of revolution, outside country.
    They will not only say that revolution leaders are villains but do everything possible to convince everyone around using mass media.

    Just look at all these movies about Cuba, documentary or feature.
    They all have anti-Castro message.

    All!

    But every who considered himself an educated person should understand this simple formula:
    Anti-Castro = Anti-Socialist.
    Anti-Socialist=Anti-Cuban people. (majority of the Cuban people)

    Anti-Castro = Anti-Cuban people.


    So happened that it was Fidel Castro who led the revolution and became its symbol, and its soul.
    Everything happens for a reason.

    The Cuban land, its soil and history itself gave birth to Fidel Castro.
    Who is Fidel Castro, what is Fidel Castro?

    A Character!

    When he was 13 years old he took part in a rebellion against his farther!
    (His farther was a planter.)

    Can you imagine yourself doing something like this?!

    It can be said a lot about this man.....
    Fidel Castro - is a character, will and courage.

    A man who survived many assassination attempts. ( some say up to 638)

    A man who lived a long life and died undefeated.


    Whatever happens to Cuba in the future - Castro was.
    Whatever happens to Cuba in the future - Revolution was.

    It can't be erased from people's memory.
    It's something that has changed Cuba forever.


    (Just as Spartacus went down in world history as a Hero so will Castro went down in world history later.)

    The country isn't Cuba, so they can tell the story they want. And 'overboard' kinda fits with Far Cry.

    I would prefer they make Far Cry 6 a little less overboard compared to how overboard Far Cry 5 was, and it seems its kinda doing that while still making some things zany. Each Far Cry game was kinda overboard in their own ways, but they each somewhat made sense and used it to compliment the world or the story. Far Cry 5 just went off the rails in terms of being overboard.
