I wonder how how history will view him? Probably compelling arguments for him as a villian and a hero.

RIP to the old bloke. It'll go down as a sad thing because future generations will be bright enough to understand that diversity is interesting, even essential - whether that be the diversity of people, places, governmental systems...

Ruled by fear, executions and propaganda. Very much a pig in Farmer Jones old house.
If he happened to be Thatchers mate he'd be looked upon very differently

US sanctions on Cuba have been classified as “genocide” under the Geneva Convention of 1948. They cost the Cuban economy $1trillion dollars. Cuba has sent more doctors throughout the world to minister to the poor than even the World Health Organization. Lest we forget, Cuba was the biggest single provider of healthcare workers to the Ebola crisis in West Africa, more than all richer nations.Cuba has the best literacy rate in the world because it spends five times as much on education than war - the opposite of what America does. "Under Castro, Cuba achieves the same health care system outcomes as the US, at 5% the cost." ~ Noam Chomsky "They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America" - Fidel Castro

RIP Fidel.
If I'd been born dirt poor in the 60's I'd rather Cuba than any of the capitalist paradises like Haiti, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala etc.

Castro's Cuba has one of the best health care systems in the world whereas Thatcher wanted to make us all pay for ours! The problem in Britain isn't that we can't evaluate the propaganda of the hard left but that we can't evaluate the propaganda of the hard right!

But he was a damn site better (and more popular at home - important for a dedicated democracy fan like yourself) than Thatcher's mate Pinochet. And any number of other western puppet leaders for that matter

Found an interesting quote The left are just as bad as ignoring Castro's human rights record as the right are with Pinochet Both cunts If they're both so equally awful, why did the west install one of them to power and then prop him up for decades, while denouncing the other and subjecting his citizens to awful privations via sanctions? Why the lack of consistency?
