All you need to do is to point to the million+ Cubans who escaped his iron fist rule who were out in the streets celebrating as soon as his death was announced. Many of whom left family members behind who were incarcerated under his draconian laws.

Castro went the way of most revolutionists. Start with a noble ideal, gain some traction, become powerful and influential (and immensely rich), and then do everything possible to keep the power at the expense of your ideals, your country, and its people. Damn the torpedoes.

The Human Rights Watch is just a vague biography and the Wall Street Journal needed a log in after the first couple paragraphs.

The level of oppression I'm seeing is a tiny fraction of America's War on Drugs. And that's just one thing.

Only America would **** a little country like that for several decades and then totally refuse to believe they're the root cause of their oppression.

Ever hear of a few little things called The Cold War, Communism, and The Cuban Missile Crisis? By aligning with Russia back then Cuba brought it all on themselves.

And to echo The Bat:

Yeah, American imperialism hasn't been Cuba's best friend ever since we took it from Spain, but that doesn't make Fidel Castro not a murdering thug.

Fuck Cuba. It's a communist dictatorship ran by a murderous *******, who we put in power then did this little thing called the Cuban Missile Crisis. Almost every unfortunate human born under Castro's rule will tell you how evil he is.

Well now they're going to go from the devastation of our endlessly cruel embargo to joining Trump's oligarchical fascism. Thanks to brainwashed fools and capitalist scumbags.
