Castro is much like many ATSers now. After his last two "Reflections" made some very bold predictions, and they failed to materialize, he has lost a lot of his credibility.
First he lost his health, then control of his country, and then he lost his celebrity status. He has recently been writing these thought-provoking articles and making public appearances to resurrect his importance, but world politics has moved on without him, and they are not cooperating with making his predictions come true. Now he is just an old man desperately seeking stardom and wanting for his old status back.

The last time someone mentioned Castro made predictions that hadn't come true I went back and read his letters...
"I am neither a prophet nor a fortune teller."
-Reflections by comrade Fidel KNOWING THE TRUTH TIMELY.
I guess he was too direct.

Ok, you are right, but I think they were getting at the point that this guy has been practically dead several times over the past few years. His own brother and country practically announced his death just a year or two ago and somehow he battled back. He survived the Bay of Pigs, and other assassination attempts. He survived handing off power to Raul when most thought he would have a tragic accident shortly after ceding power.
I don't think the poster was wishing for his death, just wishing he would get it over with. He is beyond his 9 lives at this point!
