Write 8 page essay on the topic Controversy whether or not Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a part of the communism due to his relationship with Fidel Castro.

Despite the controversies that Gabo’s relationship with Castro raised, I believe that Gabo was not a communist and did not share Castro’s ideas of communism as the discussion below portrays.

Communism is a totalitarian socioeconomic system structured on common ownership of the various means of production. The socioeconomic system often vouches for the absence of money, social classes and the state. Additionally, the system discourages any political, social and economic ideologies and movements that seek to develop a different social order. In thwarting such social, political and economic movements, communist leaders often use force in curtailing some of the basic liberties of the people. Gabriel Garcia Marquez could not have subscribed to such a school of thought. Firstly, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a writer who made a living by selling his books and novels among other write-ups. His most celebrated book, One Hundred Years of Solitude sold more than three million copies. As such, Gabo believed in money and was among the few people who made millions of dollars by selling their works (De la Mora and Ripstein 55).

Marquez’s friendship with Castro was just like any other. Marquez prided himself in being a self-made a self-styled socialist who believed in the dictates of the socio economic school of thought all of which differ from those of communism. The friendship was unique in the sense that Marquez often opposed Fidel Castro and criticized some of his decisions, which often sought to sustain his communist ideologies. As a journalist and a critic of international politics, Marquez used his friendship with Castro to influence some of the decisions Castro made. His personal decisions and actions showed that he opposed communism despite his friendship with Castro, which a number of critics have argued that should not influence Marquez’s audience since it was personal and never affected his professional life.
