FIDEL Part I

[willow61ful]

All I know is that the special interest of this filmmaker is dangerous in trying to convey a side of Fidel Castro that does not longer exist. Yes Cuban has an embargo posed by the U.S. however, this is not excuse for the hundreds of human rights violation that go on there daily. If any of you still think Castro is a saint, I challenge you to visit the country and find out for yourself. We might have in U.S. human rights violation, but at least we can talk about it and voice our opinion.

Dicen que el Mercedes Benz blindado de este hombre costó más de medio millón de dolares. Eso es verdad ? Porque si es verdad, yo no creo más en el socialismo. Porque yo soy humilde y no tengo carro para sacrificarme por la revolución.

[InfantryFodder93]

Fidel is my hero so whatever you say to him goes for me bitches!

[EticayMoral]

Dios bendiga a Fidel Castro

@kromando33

Fidels Cuba is not socialism its Castroist dictatorship

[NEWYORKLIBRE]

He did not even cry whe his mother died.

[AXA0032]

Sir it is a pity that you should not better inform yourself, the vast majority of working class Cubans when they have a brief respite from the daily odyssey of having to survive another day amidst so many privations are always trying to escape their bird cage. Many dont have the means or connections but as a Cuban who is the son of a Communist Cornell and secretary of the Communist party allow me to tell you we have all desired to escape.

Thank you

Pueblo heroe porque Fidel se enfrento a USA? pero el que sufrio y sufre es el pueblo no Fidel y su cupula. Que facil es hacer vivas cuando no es uno el que sufre no? Ademas un Presidente esta para beneficiar al pueblo no para hacer realidad nuestros suenos personales como ha hecho Fidel. El sacrifico al pueblo por sus odios personales. El presidente de un pais tiene que ceder en bien del pueblo,tiene que comer orgullo por el pueblo para eso se les elige o para eso hacen revoluciones.

[josewreyes]

viva el david latinoamericano que se enfrento al goliath del norte, y aun con un bloqueo nefasto este pueblo digno a soportado por casi 50 años !viva cuba¡

[vimein]

si ustedes buscan en google "poeta invalido especulador" les aparecera en la primera pagina un precioso video sobre ese maldito comunista. Miren que bien viven él y sus amigos

[StoogeWatcher]

Ah, the joys of Communism: No freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, no freedom of the press, no democracy, no right to vote, no prosperity, constant poverty, extreme rationing, no human rights, people jailed just for supporting democracy and human rights (read about Oscar Elias Biscet, or are you scared of the truth?)

Do you think Kim Jong-Il is a good leader as well? Maybe you can move to North Korea as well because you think that Communism is such a good thing!

[StoogeWatcher]

I find it ironic that the same people who won't welcome hard-working Cubans have no problem letting welfare-grabbing Mexicans flood the United States.

[StoogeWatcher]

That's why champagne socialists like you live in capitalist countries all while praising Communism. Apparently, freedom is a foriegn concept to ultra-leftists and pro-Fidel apologists.

[Wistman]

VIVA FIDEL!! 81 años y mas al comandante. Patria o muerte! VENCEREMOS!

[yammer123]

@Wistman eat shit and die you shit skinned fuck

[danypb01]

viva fidel!

[StoogeWatcher]

Yeah, Castro is so great. That's why people LEAVE Cuba!

[henryzx]

I'm willing to sacrifice myself inorder to eliminate hunger in my country...but not our principle and "famine" revolution! what he "announced" was so contradictory....

[elsuperzaz]

Guys, you cant compare Fidel with Bush... Bush is evil, ok, but Fidel isn't an alternative... they are both evil in their own leagues. You can argue in what areas they can be good or bad... But Fidel has done a lot of damage. By the way I'm Cuban, and its not a alcohol drinking paradise. Don't confuse freedom with alcoholism.

[denbenenki]

elsuperaz:"Fidel has done a lot of damage."

-----------

you must be one of those cubans who left cuba b4 getting an education. tsk.., tsk...

but ur on the internet and can spell... so how is it ur ignorant of all the great things fidel has done: 1) total education for all; 2) health care; 3) babies that live-- all 3 better than the percentage of washington d.c.!

dont confuse urself about what is evil. fidel is not in the same room as bush.

[elsuperzaz]

Your are one of those dickheads that have smoked too much pot to make sense at all... your lack of respect to me is just a sign of that. I probably have much more education than you do and you dont know shit about Cuba. Go and read a book, or better, come and live in Cuba for a couple of years but as a cuban... without your cute american dollars

[davidtha]

fidel, an inspiration!!!!

[StoogeWatcher]

Inspiration to idiots, stupid liberals, and champagne socialists nitwits. You can't vote in Cuba. You can't be prosperous. You can't say anything against the government or else you get a 25-year jail sentence.

[davidtha]

yes but you can vote in usa, where people are to stupid to build a machine which can count votes, and where blacks are pushed out of an election, where jewish votes get counted for right wing, where someone can become presisent despite the fact that the majority of the people did vote for someone else. where a president can start torture other people an kill and destroy like in mideavel time,s this democracy you can stick up your .a..... viva cuba viva fidel

[StoogeWatcher]

Since you think Communism is so great, then why don't you move to Cuba or North Korea? Then again, you wouldn't be allowed to comment on YouTube.

And if you care about fair elections, then why do you liberals sue to throw away military votes? And what about dead people voting Democrat? Or blacks voting six times in six different polling places?

[InsurgenistCujo]

Cuba is Socialist and North Korea is just a plain dictatorship.

[AdamVikingen]

aka, wanbie communists like china

[InsurgenistCujo]

China is a joke.

[SimplyLatino]

@InsurgenistCujo: no wonder everything its make in china right? hahaha look at your toys or your kids toys,cloth, and other materials its says MADE IN CHINA haha stupid moron travel northern to NYC or something maybe u will learn something

[NEWYORKLIBRE]

@InsurgenistCujo

Really? Because there has been political change? c'mon

[garyboxe]

I would love to be a cuban citizen, and live in a society who doesn't tax it's people to death while pretending to be a free society. People in Cuba can sit in a public park all night long drinking alcool if they choose and be in security. Try that in the states or even Canada....you will either get mugged and maybe killed or arrested because it's illegal to drink in a public place and even illegal to be in a park past midnight. And they call this a free country.

[denbenenki]

garyboxe-- the reason cubans can in a park all night long is most of cubas miscreants left cuba and are now in miami. where no one is allowed in a park after midnight.

[StoogeWatcher]

Fidel Castro and human rights don't exactly go together. In fact, how many have been jailed by Castro just for opposing his Communist dictatorship? You don't see Bush throwing people like Tim Robbins, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, or Susan Sarandon in jail just for being Democrat.

[garyboxe]

you are so ignorant, it' s not even worth trying to make you see reality. Bush is the devil in person. wake up dumm ass. You know nothing about Fidel and what he did for humanity troughtout his entire life. pick up a book and get informed. and I don't mean a propaganda book from some bush ass kisser, I mean a real impartial essay. Try something from author Noam Shomsky. learn something.

[StoogeWatcher]

What humanity? Castro has done nothing but increase poverty in Cuba, eliminate people's freedoms, and made life miserable for Cuba. Noam Chomsky is a Communist propaganda supporter. And if you think Communism is so great, then take a one-way trip to Cuba and stay there! But then, you wouldn't have YouTube to state your opinions, right? (computers are forbidden in Cuba).

[garyboxe]

you are so way off base, 1st of all I have been there and for long periods of time and know very well the system and its benefits that you don't have in the states..free education university level, free healthcare...even dentist care. subsidised food and housing, free electrical power, and more individual freedoms than in the states. wake up. Noam Shomsky is a very educated impartial author who has the guts to say the truth that too many so called liberals are afread of saying.

[denbenenki]

stoogewatcher: "(computers are forbidden in Cuba). "

----------------------------

Ahhh! So you are a dis-informer! I thought u were trying to learn—- u r trying to mis-inform ppl. Tsk.., tsk...

I just got back from cuba and not only do they have computers—the internet is free!

[StoogeWatcher]

If they have the Internet in Cuba, it's probably censored.

[garyboxe]

Bush is just sending thousands of innocent poor kids to die for nothing in Irak for big profits for Haliburton and the likes, and lying to the people to convince them to do this...also destroying that country and killing and maiming thousands more innocent people in the process. And by the way Nancy Pelosi Howard Dean are just a little more hypocritical . I wonder if their kids and grand kids are part of the soldiers who are dying in Irak with the poor kids....I think not

[davidtha]

oh yes we see bush building torture camps even on cuban soul, are you blind? viva fidel

[StoogeWatcher]

If you like Castro so much, then give up all your possession, move to Havana, and live in dire poverty! And those Gitmo prisoners? They get their Korans, prayers, and Islam-approved meals! GETTING THE WRONG KIND OF DORITOS IS NOT TORTURE!

[denbenenki]

stoogewatcher: "doritos is not torture."

----------------------

imprisonment itself is torture. have u ever been locked up? of course, if u committed a crime, there is a way to accept being jailed, but when u are innocent-- drives you mad!

even if they give doritos!

[denbenenki]

stoogewatcher: how many have been jailed by Castro just for opposing his Communist dictatorship?"

-----------

A: 0 (zero)

u may be thinking of those that support batista or the US--

those are treasonous citizens that have no respect for the lives lost to rid the island of those 2 evils.

[denbenenki]

stoogewatcher: You don't see Bush throwing people ... in jail just for being Democrat. "

----------------------------

bush jails people that are just muslim or just because they aided muslim people.

I can count and name some jailed for just being muslim by bush. Can u count or name any jailed by Fidel?

Here is one: Dilawar. he was jailed for just being a muslim taxi driver. beaten to death at Bagram Air Base by US jackals. Watch his tragedy: Taxi to the Dark Side (oscar winner)

[StoogeWatcher]

Oscar Elias Biscet, human rights advocate, Christian, anti-abortionist, pro-democracy advocate.

And if Cuba is so great, why are people leaving to come to America? One reason: FREEDOM!

[denbenenki]

stoogewatcher: Fidel Castro and human rights don't exactly go together. "

----------------------------

in a REAL fact: fidel is considered a CHAMPION of human rights by more people than not; by more countries than not--

so, you would be correct to say-- now u have been informed-- that "Fidel Castro and human rights exactly go together."

ur welcome!

[StoogeWatcher]

Is that why Castro throws people in jail for not supporting his Communism? Do you know about Oscar Elias Biscet?
