  • The sad part is Cuba allowed anyone who wanted to get out of the country during the 50's-60's. The US closed the borders and disallowed people from "fleeing" cuba. Because the people who fled were a liability to the US...The US considered most of those who fled criminals and crooks.

  • It is a shame that there are so many ignorant people on this website who type up hate comments on any video they want just because they have the "right" to do so. Well just was we have the"right" to type up ignorant comments on Youtube we also have the "right" to pick up a book and read so we learn the truth and not just base out understanding on some stupid website that has now reliable source backing it.

  • The castro family has been in power in Cuba for 53 long years, slaving the Cuban people and ruining the nation. The castro received billions of dollars from the formal USSR and they are receiving millions from chavez now, and even so the country is falling apart. More than 2 million Cubans left the island and everything they had behind, still the nation can't survive without the help from the Cuban relatives abroad, they love those dollars. The end for that tyranny is near.

  • @PureSoapCleans really because i just went there last june and the nation is healing and booming, its pretty much a normal country....its American propaganda that you believe in that keeps everyone else hating Cuba when its the U.S. own embargo that crippled Cuba but they wanna blame it on someone else

  • @Estiloyrumbo TheRealCubaDotCom Just check it. I know that a lot of people think everything is great in Cuba because of that stupid Michael Moore documentary, but not everyone is terribly happy. The thing is, is that Cubans were living under a horrible government system before communism, and sure, and the idea of everyone being equal under common communist ideology seemed very appealing. However, things hardly ever work out that way. Read Animal Farm by George Orwell, it's pretty enlightening.

  • I want U Fidel........

  • @ Quex01 I am female you moron !!

  • What is wrong with his throat? Too many revolutionary speeches?

  • Long live comrade Castro :)

  • what a liar, he said he found support in Canada. I'm canadian and we've always been very anti-communist. Our Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau at the time was a left leaning liberal and maintained good relationships with Castro for diplomatic reasons. None of us support Cuba's Communist country tho

  • @Freethinker12341 so you speak for all of Canada then?

  • @mexivato210 no. on the contrary. Castro was trying to make it sound like he received a crapload of support from Canada. which wasn't true. Castro doens't speak for all of Canada, was what i meant. obviously i dont speak for all canadians... we have a communist party for instance. but less than 1% of the population support them.

  • @Freethinker12341 i respect your opinion and it just sounded like you spoke for every Canadian but now i know what you meant....im a proud Socialist and also Socialism and Communism has a history with Latino politics as well

  • @mexivato210 thats fair, i have respect for socialist ideas, but I've never respected Castro. I'm not sure where you stand in particular with regards to left views, but personally I'm straight up anti-Stalinist. I put Castro into that category. People who hijack the term "socialism" or "communism" and abuse their power over their people, and create a really awful, tryannical statist regime. And only spread propaganda and fill their people heads with nonesense and fluff.

  • Comment removed

  • @mexivato210 the main point is, communism has never been even remotely popular in Canada from what I can remember. Our various leaders over the years however dealt with Communist leaders a little differently than American leaders. We were more or less on the neutral side of things, put it that way. Pierre Trudeau dealt with Fidel Castro very carefully and peacefully.

  • VIVA FIDEL CASTRO

  • VIVA FIDEL!!! A MAN WHO STOOD UP AGAINST ANYONE WHO TRIED TO EXPLOIT THE COUNTRIES OF THE 3RD WORLD.

  • @ninonica All he did was ruin a once beautiful country to take all of its money and resources. Cuba was such a great country when he took control, that he STILL hasn't been able to completely destroy it.

  • @DJEnvyOfficial oh yes it was so great under batista when the aristocracy and american companies controlled cuba, when all income was in the form of weapons to keep the people down and the batista dictatorship going and when the peasants were nothing more than slaves who couldn't read or write and who were left to die when suffering from curable illnesses because all the doctors were reserved for the rich in havanna and all the teachers kept for the rich children your right it was better then.

  • @hellom12345 God damnit I love you man! Exactly! Sure maybe Castro's Cuba was not exactly the most ideal situation. But anything is better than living under a puppet regime that holds everything for an aristocracy and enslaving the lower classes. Sure, people died during the revolution. So what? People die all the time in wars for various reasons. Is one death more noble because of one reason or another? Does it matter whether is life is given for the red white and blue or the sickle and hammer?

  • I'm sick of hearing about how Cubans are struggling under the Castro regime. There are plenty of people in the US struggling under this regime. But Cuba has many advantages over our system - no homelessness, better health care and - yes America, Cubans have a higher literacy rate than we do. Oh yes, capitalism is so wonderful. If you're rich. If you're poor, not so much.

  • @Brenda2OOO No homelessness? Go to Cuba for yourself! Even the tourist areas have people begging for money and sleeping under very poorly made huts. Cuba is not better than the US. People speak without knowing what it's really like. Go to the camp towns and live for a week. It's not like when you're living in a fancy hotel. Try and live with no A/C, scavenging for every scrap of food so your kids don't go hungry. The truth hurts.

  • @DJEnvyOfficial If the crybaby American government would lift its stupid embargo, Cuba could have a reasonable trade policy which would restore its economy. Americans need to get over the Bay of Pigs.

  • @Brenda2OOO That is very true. Cuba would be in a much better state than it is right now. The US government is just very stubborn. The embargo has gone on for 48 years, I think it's about time the US got over it.

  • @Brenda2OOO There's no homeless people in Cuba only because you can be jailed for being one.So this is not an advantage.The main disadvantage of Cuba is lack of personal freedom,Cuba's regime (despite some advantages) tries to have complete control over all population that's why it's not better than USA.USA and other capitalist countries have their flaws but one thing's for sure - they allow much more personal freedom than Cuba does.Personal freedom is one of essential ingredients for happiness.

  • "You know what, joe?, I think Adam and Eve were Cubans"

    -"Why do you think that?"

    -"Because they had no clothes, they had no socks on, they wouldn't even let them eat apples, but still they always said to them that they were on paradise"

  • Ask any Cuban if they love Fidel Castro,oh but don't ask the ones in cuba,ask the ones that made it out...

  • Americans have freed more people and done more good than any other group on earth, except of course for the Jews. In the mean time, communists like the fat Castron in his mansion continue destroying families, killing all who disagree with them and eating more steaks!

    TheRealCubadotCom

  • Fidel Castro is the greatest man alive.

  • @smezec u cuban or no

  • @brandonisawesome11 No. What does that have to do with anything?

  • @smezec maybe thts y u think hes the greatest man alive u must be a commy

  • @brandonisawesome11 Christ... if you had been educated in Cuba, your spelling wouldn't be so fucking terrible...

  • FIDEL CASTRO KILLER!!!

  • Throughout his career as a bloody dictator, Fidel always looked pretty robust (fat) while the people he oppressed had to search through trashcans, form an underground black market operation and depend on the free Cubans in Miami for all their sustenance. And isn't it aways the same with the fat communists despots.

    TheRealCubaDotCom

  • @espressotub Wait just a minute! How about the more than a hundred thousand which have escaped the island and went to Miami? There have been two Cuban U.S. Senators and there's talk of one of them being the next vice-president. The thing is that unlike Castro they can't stay in power for 60 years while living in a nice capitalist mansion while the Cuban people risk sharks to get to the USA!

  • @farleftloon USA sucks, fascists.

  • @farleftloon Fidel doesn't live in a mansion, if he lives in a big house it is a shithole compared to any of the houses of the rich you find in Florida or L.A. Now, why cubans flee the island? The USA gives a very special treat to cubans, housing, healthcare, and of course LEGALITY, all kinds of support. Weird that doesn't happen with other immigrants don't you think? Most cubans in the US are very well off. Capitalism is attractive I know, but if the world is to survive it has to stop.

  • @espressotub

    You confuse something: Cubans in the USA and all people living above Panama are fat ugly bastards - that´s nothing, that only matches Fidel. It´s just the scum of the earth you call "Americans".

  • @espressotub Fidel Castro's father was rich, he could provide everything fidel needed. Fidel has a lawyer degree, he had money, he could become a bourgeois. Instead he took his friends, a couple of weapons and headed for the mountains where he almost starved to death to save his nation from Yankee imperialism and the barbarism of a dictator, what is more noble than that? You clearly have no idea about Fidel and the Cubans. The Cubans are honorable people and they love their leader, Fidel.

  • @espressotub Amen! my friend. The way out of the filth that is communist Castro, the Soviets, and Jong il is Ayn Rand. Between you and me, I heard Castro sniffs the asses of dogs. His brother Raul is no better. They will go down just like their murderous henchman, Che. God bless.--EABII.

  • @espressotub That's simply not true. It's well known that Fidel doesn't live in luxury, you probably only have a brainwashed, misinformed view on Communism. You never hear about the Cuban healthcare or education systems which are better than the USA's

  • @espressotub the real cuba is a fucking bullshit anti-communist website... dosen't take a genius to work it out. It's so over the top it makes it obvious its fake... I mean smeared shit on the floor? I didn't know in a hospital you just take a dump on the floor.

  • Respond to this video... Fidel Castro, the worst tyrant ever in cuban history. No other tyrant in cuba has killed so many nor no other tyrant has come ever held the country hostage as he has. No other tyrant in cuba has causer terrorism in latin america like him. He trully makes Stalin look like a kinder garden teacher when it comes to killing. all he cares about is him him and him. thats why he always wants to be the centre of attention and always impose his views on the rest.

  • @Defwildwolves Stalin's killed more people than this guy ever did.

  • @Karlos9986 Where do you live? Cuba Let me guess. yes you immigrated there from Mexico, China RUssia

  • FIDEL CASTRO O GRANDE ASSESSINO DE LAS AMERICAS...

  • communism is good on paper but in real life they are always dictatorships

  • "Our idea is that everybody has the right to think as they want" hahahahah what a croc of shit that sounds like when coming out of his mouth.

  • you prob are for gay marriage.

  • @Karlos9986 so is Reagan

  • Fidel Castro, the worst tyrant ever in cuban history. No other tyrant in cuba has killed so many nor no other tyrant has come ever held the country hostage as he has. No other tyrant in cuba has causer terrorism in latin america like him. He trully makes Stalin look like a kinder garden teacher when it comes to killing. all he cares about is him him and him. thats why he always wants to be the centre of attention and always impose his views on the rest.

  • Fidel was so SEXY back then,I'm getting all wet just looking at him!!!!!

  • @andresbasketxiclana Hy. can you tell me more about that. Im interested in knowing a little more about that if you dont mind :) ...

  • im watching this to copy his accent for a project i have for history XP

  • @scghostart maybe i am not gettin laid. why don't you help me. A white guy in Atlanta? Suburbs? Glad you claim a big city. Streetsmart as me , NO WAY. you probabaly try to act black. Look around you . at the culture. Do you anticipate any projective problems.

    Dominance answers your question. who is willing to say that their race is less dominant in the short run in current conditions. Well time to spank it.

    your wife is probably .5 white like Obama and raised

    by whites, hence the reason you 2

  • @scghostart who is this reply to it doesnt say and no black people are not denied const. rights. white males are. Affirmative Action. you want to be black.

    Just kiddin. I agree with your statement about corp. greed but that is socialism

    just cause you support unions

  • @scghostart r u black? they are basically dominant and have more reproductive rigfhts with women to be honest. I am white which you already know. You are not black you said before. Where are you from, the SOUTH

  • @scghostart I am sayingthe black man is in first place here

  • @WhiteshadowMFG Where do you live

  • RUN THROUGH LITTLE HAVANA SCREAMING VIVA FIDEL

  • Been there as a child, guess you'd get lynchmobbed

  • @scghostart for starters 1 case is of someone found with possesion of cocaine...totally irrelevant ahem....and the other happened during the civil rights era....where segregation was still an issue.....where racism still existed. First off: i really do not know what in the hell your getting at but im not interested because my interest was in communist cuba and not your rascism issues with the u.s. Second off, my black ass has not gone to jail for marrying a white man.

  • @marinski61709 MARRIED A WHITE MAN Thank you, took courage

  • Democratic principal. Been waitin Fidel

  • @scghostart Bullshit the black man is #1 here.

  • is this clip about us?! NOOOO. and i never heard of anyone spending 7 years because..thier wife was black so get real. if you have issues with the us then whatever i have no sympathy. a commie is a communist which is what you are so maybe get "further education" on that. ha im not wasting my time talking to you sorryyyy

  • @marinski61709

    Sco is sounding like a political spin

    I hope sco see this his comment was downsome.

    Surprised to see a black woman marry a white guy. we r hated.

  • @marinski61709 o yeah Tell Him

  • @scghostart and what the fuck is your point?!?! seriously leave this country and go live in cuba instead commie

  • Wow. People actually support communism still? Lets take a look at some communist countries... Vietnam. Yeah they're doing great. And who would want to live in North Korea. Especially when South Korea is doing amazing as a country. Theres a reason why there are about 4 Communist countries in the world. It is horrible. China may be doing well economically, but their people live like cockroaches. I will stay in United States, where I get rewarded for hard work and can do anything I really want

  • @MyLastUsernameSuckd One thing that most self-proclaimed opponents of communism don't understand is that A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER EXISTED AND IN THEORY THE CONCEPT OF COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT IS INHERENTLY CONTRADICTORY. The totalitarian governments criticized by the noble, yet misguided opponents of communism were (are) not communist but rather state socialist. The distinction between state socialism and communism must be understood when one wishes to (accurately) challenge communism.

  • @afroninja515 Well you said it, communism is contradictory and never been. any more excuses. YOu live int the U.S. Why not vietnam?

  • @Defwildwolves Vietnam, China, and perhaps soon Cuba are Neo-Communist. While these countries still are technically command economies they can hardly be considered communist, by the inaccurate contemporary or Orthodox Marxist definitions. I don't live in Vietnam because doing so has no merit for a true communist.

  • @afroninja515 Why here then. DENIALISM Are you the

    ninja wit afros. 2 , one upstairs and 1 downstairs

  • The man is a hero - end of.

  • for anyone who supports this pig try living in a country where they imprison you for speaking out. where food that is sup. to last you a month according to the gov. lasts a week. my father is a politcal refugee who left that shit hole. his brother was in prison for 7 years for killing a cow to feed his newborn. sickens me. try living there "Supporters" you wouldnt last a fucking day

  • Most ignorant people think that communism is the opposite of democracy, but that is wrong. They are two different subjects. Democracy is a system for electing government officials whereas communism is simply an economic system. Therefore, it is possible to have a democratic-communist country, they are not conflicting ideologies!

  • Why are there no other partyz allowed in

    Democratic Communist countries.

    only if Democratic Socialist

  • @alejandrod619 oh yeah? how about you go and live in Cuba or China? Just saying

  • @alejandrod619 Communism is much more then Economy :) ... Karl Marx´s book "Capital" is Economy, Humanism, Antropology, Psicology, etc,etc,etc. Yes, Democracy and Communism is diferent. But you cannot have Communism without democracy. And Democracy can only be achieved with Socialism towards Communism. We can have Capitalism without democracy, but we cant have Comunism without democracy.

  • Comment removed

  • @alejandrod619 Communism is definitely a form of government..

  • @TheIgonoranceSlayer

    no it is not, the actual definition does not describe a government structure. It describes an economic structure

  • @alejandrod619 yes but that wont exist for another 10 or 15 years when America becomes an Empire

  • @alejandrod619 The truth is, Communist Governments are always dictatorships in real life, with no exception whatsoever throughout history. So, you are the ignorant person, my friend. Cheers.

  • @alejandrod619 Well show me a democratic communist country and I will give you thumbs up.

  • @alejandrod619 @alejandrod619 um ur wrong socialism is the economic system to communism. smh dont call ppl ignorant if ur ignorant too. Democracies are sometimes socialist like Canada and England, even the U.S is a capitalist and socialist country example public education and the NFL

  • @johncquiroz hahaha, my friend you coulnt be more wrong. Socialism and Communism are both economic systems and they are separate from one another. Therefore a country can't be both socialist and communist as you have implied.

  • @alejandrod619 That is why Castro says he is Marxist/Leninist. If you want to see the result of Communist reign, go to Cuba for yourself. See all the propaganda reading: "Socialism: Today, Tomorrow, Forever." Go to Cuba for yourself and see what it's really like. The people have their birth right to choose their leader, yet Cuba under the Castro regime have never been able to say a word about the government without having a gun put to their heads. I've had family members executed. Truth hurts.

  • La Dictadura de Cuba tiene que terminar

    El mundo exige una apertura real sin adoctrinamientos los cuales han llevado a Cuba al desastre Económico Político y Social

    Para Cuba es hora de Libertad...

    CUBA EJEMPLO DE LA DESGRACIA DE UN PUEBLO SIN FUTURO

    DONDE LA VIDA DEL HOMBRE NO VALE NADA

    DONDE LA MENTIRA NO DEJA ESPACIO AL PENSAMIENTO

    NI EL HAMBRE LUGAR PARA UN ESPACIO.

    VIVA CUBA LIBRE SIN LOS ASESINOS CASTROS.

  • viva fidel

    

  • Now thats qui gon jinn!!!

  • Viva Fidel !!! Thank you so much for your roll in African Liberation Struggles and struggles for the underdeveloped peoples around the world !!!!

  • @psiko20 The "roll" was played by young Cuban kids who were forced to serve in an army that did not wish to fight battles for anybody else. Thousands of those kids died in Africa just to appease a tyrant who has enslaved Cuba for 52 years.

  • To all those that think Castro is a "great leader", I invite you to visit Cuba and live as a native. You will live in a one political party system and any protest of a government resolution will land you in jail. You will not be able to enter tourist facilities; you will eat, dress and behave the way the government tells you to. Freedom to assemble, to travel or protest will be fforbidden. In other words, you will give up freedom! Would you want the same president in your country for 52 years?

  • Great leader

  • Why do we hate castro so much? After all he helped defend our pentagon against the zombie invasion of 63

  • @th3toiletguy9111111 well said toilet guy, lol

  • @th3toiletguy9111111 cold war atom bombs near america scary (:

  • @vampirodrako I'm not an American... just so you are aware. I can understand why someone from Cuba would not like the US, but most countries are better off because of them.

  • @javakris TONTO!! LA GENTE DE CUBA ES MAS FELIZ QUE NINGUNA, SON LOS MEJORES DEPORTISTAS DE LATINOAMERICA !! SU CULTURA ES TAN RICA, SU MUSICA, , ELLOS SON FELICES NO NECESITAN DE DROGAS, O GRANDES COMIDAS RAPIDAS COMO LOS NORTEAMERICANOS Y SI ELLOS VIVEN EN POBREZA ES POR QUE U.S.A. CONDICIONO A TODOS LOS PAICES PARA QUE NO TUVIERAN COMERCIO CON CUBA!!ANTES DE QUE U.S.A. LES DECLARARA LA GUERRA, CUBA ERA UNA POTENCIA ECONOMICA TODO ES CULPA DE LOS GRINGOS PENDEJO!! MEJOR ESTUDIA !! !!

  • @vampirodrako I know Cuba has a rich culture, great music and perhaps one of the most interesting histories in the world. That's why I'm happy to be a Canadian who can freely travel there. And I think the US embargo's on Cuba were unfair and stupid. But you can not blame a people for their governments mistakes.

  • hahaha!! It sounded like he asked Fidel Alejandro Castro if he will have an erection soon. @1:30

  • U.S.A. = NAZIS

    THUMPS UP

  • @vampirodrako Saying the Americans are NAZI's is stupid. A world without the Americans is a world with less freedom, racism and instability.

  • ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • Where's his cigar? D:

  • CALL OF DUDTY BLACK OPS FIDEL CASTRO

  • BARACK OBAMA SPEECH .JA , JA ,JA.

  • @TrickyEddy8

    I like games that are historical like black ops though personally, I find that castro is not as bad compared to american leaders.

  • 1. Radical Nationalism 2. Autoritarian Leader 3. Nation is over everything 4. Corporate State. 5. CDR (Comité de Defensa de la Revolución) fulfil the idea of big brother state 6. There is not freedom of speech 7. Fascism could be socialist or liberal don´t forget this 8. there is only one political party without opposition 9. reject modernism 10. life is struggle and everyone is educated to become a hero do you need more?
  • @jcvyul read books and shut down the tv... 

  • fidel castro recently admitted having made mistakes and then took sides with israel. it would have made more sense the other way round.

  • I think few people in Cuba know he speaks English.

  • this guy started off very good, but he lived too long and became a tyrant.

  • @theguythatcould same applies to you. (my comment down below). please answer the questions.

  • @ryanbinrichard i'm not american. i would never go to war. castro loves my country.

  • Treyarch certainly did a good job at this guy's character, he looks the same in the game.

  • like half the people here, yes, i must admit i do very much enjoy playing as Fidel Castro on Black Ops. but that's not what is being discussed here. if you Americans bothered to watch a few films ( specifically Che: A Revolutionary Life) and read a few books (specifically Guerilla Warfare by Che Guevara) you might understand that the oppressive Batista regime was the dictatorship destroying lives and bowing down to America, not La Revolucion. America is not the whole world, Americans must know.

  • I wonder if Fidel himself plays Black Ops....

  • @HawkLeader12 no, he doesn't. Black Ops was banned in Cuba because in the game you assassinate Castro's double.

  • @ryanbinrichard Well that makes sense. I'll be honest I had no idea this guy was real. I thought he was a made up character. As you can tell I do not know much about Cuba at all.

  • @HawkLeader12 please don't think this is aimed at you individually, but i find it rather ironic how i have, after viewing this video, viewed several other videos on American ignorance. explaining how America doesn't know enough about the rest of the world. and you have just said that you don't know much about Cuba. are you proud to be American? would you fight for America against Cuba? Why/Why Not?. if you knew why Castro hates you guys so much, you wouldn't want to fight for america anymore.

  • @ryanbinrichard I'm proud to be an American, but I don't know much about Cuba. I know a lot about Germany, America (obviously), South America, Hawaii, and Russia. Just not Cuba.

  • @ryanbinrichard u der?

  • ahhhhhhhh call of duty black ops

  • thumbs up if black ops brought you here

  • thumbs up if u only looked this up because he was in Black ops:D

  • headshot beeeeeeyoch

  • @TrickyEddy8 hahaha COD BLack Ops

  • Komendante!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Seems a nice chap I expect he will be president after Obama

  • hail fadel castro

  • People who are opposed to Communism don't understand Communism. Americans think of Communism as a totalitarian dictatorship, but Fidel (and Guevara) were Lenninist-Marxists, which calls for democratically elected officials in a Communist system. Communism existed even before Marx. Mayan communities shared communal farms with the village, and the produce was for everyone. There are good and bad sides to Communism and Capitalism, but you need to remember, they are ECONOMIC systems, not government.

  • @07wade3 Also the 1381 Peasants Revolt in England where the peasantry seized power was a type of socialist revolution.

  • @07wade3 everyone want`s to leave,all the buildings are falling apart, they drive beaters from the 50s, they are terrified of the cops and in the south the main form of transit is the ox cart, no power, crappy food and tourist jobs pay what you tip them. But it is all worth it because, NO AMERICANS, no Ronnie Macs and no clear cuts and every one gets medical, dental and school.

  • @07wade3 Fine, that all sounds great, but what if I don't want to be a comunist? What will happen to me under a comunist government? What if I don't want to "understand" comunism? What if I don't want to be part of that "economic" system? Don't I have the right to choose? Let me answer, NO! Under comunism there are only 2 kinds of people, comunists and FORCED comunists. What gives you the right to ENFORCE your comunism upon others?

  • @mcmlxvi Firstly, after the triumph of the revolution in 1959, do you know what happened? All the rich land owners, supporters of Batista, Batista's government officials, and Batista himself fled Cuba. Castro did nothing to stop them. He let them leave. Better for them to leave than to stay and try to cause problems.

    And finally, I'm not forcing communism on anyone. My initial comment was simply to attempt to understand what it is. And if you have no desire to learn other systems, tis a shame.

  • @07wade3 Lets see now .. how many countries have prospered under communism ? Hmmm ??? ahhhh... that would be ZERO and counting. You are talking about antiquated agrarian communes and cultures. In a post modern world, communism is neither just nor possible. Communism is a perversion of a free liberal society and a pipe dream tyvm. The cultures with which you refer to were also built on the backs of slave's. The merger of state and corporate powers is what has happened to America i.e. Fascism.

  • @ZoneTelevision In all honesty, I think Cuba is the most pristine example of the triumph of Communism. Consider the US backed terrorism by the Cuban exiles towards Cuba, and the trade embargo (which the United Nations has pressed America to lift for many years). But another example, that shows why there are not many examples of communism, is Chile, when Salvador Allende was democratically elected. The economic bombardment by the CIA limited progress, and the CIA backed coup d'état ended progress

  • @07wade3 A triumph? This is a perverted view of progress when you have the majority of a nations population employed and regulated by the Government... essentially implying that the people are too stupid to make wise and honest business discussions on their own thats what communism is/does. "We will only let you have as much as we think you should have" is or should be the mantra of any and or all communist countries. Tell me, i don't see people making a mass exodus to live in in cuba...

  • @07wade3 ..so why don't you live there ? This "pie in the sky" idea that the government knows best is delusional it is and has been designed to eliminate the nuclear family and core family values. Since the state will take care of you why would you want or need family? Making people dependent on government produces bums and illiterates Your Cuba has been propped up by banks and controlled commodities nothing more nothing less, follow the money. They are attempting to do this here in the US,

  • @ZoneTelevision Could not have said it better myself.

  • @ZoneTelevision And yet still, Cuba is standing tall and strong. Sure, they have suffered. Sure, they are not the richest country in the world. But even with limited commercial prosperity, they are one of the world leaders in literacy and medicine. Cuba, a tiny little island, has provided doctors to all corners of the world. Although, I do agree that communism is and antiquated system. However, based on morality and decency, communism is more moral than the current form of capitalism.

  • @07wade3 are you aware that it is illegal for Cuban citizens to eat red meat?

  • @whoopin65 Yeah, these hippies would love the drug laws

  • @07wade3 Seriuosly, when exactly has Fidel been "elected" democratically? Even Fidel himself has admitted in numerous interviews that he is a dictator. Hugo Chavez who happens to be Fidel's Maximus Adoratius has labeled the Cuban government as a dictatorship. What is wrong with you? Has it ever occured to you to explain your point of view without insulting people's intelligence? You really should give it a try.

  • @07wade3 You're completely WRONG!! Fidel and Che were Marxist-Trostkites(Leon Trotsky). They DID NOT believe in elections, they believed in gaining power by force, which they did Cuba. Please read your history.

  • @Nightravel fidel was no trotskyist, he wasnt even a communist. fidel castro many times admitted that he was not a communist, the only reason he made a pact with the soviet union was for one reason he needed support because the soviet union was the only advanced power other than america. che introduced fidel to the USSR, because he was a self-proclaimed marxist-leninist, but after he was betrayed by fidel and the USSR he became a trotskyist.

  • @metalgearanarchist He is not trotskyist or marxist; he is a fascist! the worst dictatorship of the XX century

  • @jcvyul fidel was a stalinist, but che started out as a marxist-leninist and then leaned more toward trotskyism after he was betrayed by the soviet union when he tried to spread revolution around the world.

  • @metalgearanarchist

    Thats bullshit.

    Stalin was already dead for years before the Cuban Revolution. And Castro only worked with the Soviet Government because the US didn't want any exchange. Before that Cuba and Castro didn't even think about that. They where on there Third World Island and had other problems.

    It was the Soviets who came towards Castro after the Americans proclamed to murder him.

  • @Florrezmax do you even know what im talking about? Stalinism is a term used by trotsky when he discribed the soviet union under stalin. under stalinism you have the increased bureaucracy of the state which is controlled by an elite group of men. its similar to fascism, but not quite completely such. it is sometimes called red fascism or a degenerated worker's state. look it up if you want.

  • @jcvyul

    You live on an Island even more isolated than Cuba. The Island of your twisted brain...

    Not even the C.I.A. would agree with you. Name one fact that backs your opinion.
