The Cuban revolution and the agrarian reform reduced not increased hunger, and he eliminated illiteracy within a few short years. Your just sad the US NEVER stooped comrade Fidel.
Reduced hunger? Nope. The workers in Cuba --before Castro's dictatorship enslaved them -- received higher wages than comparable workers in Europe. Cuba was actually a prosperous country before the communist crackpots invaded from South America. Fidel and Che visited a real tragedy on the people of Cuba.
Wiki says this: Before Castro Cuba had Latin America's highest per capita consumption rates of meat, vegetables, cereals, automobiles, telephones and radios. Gross domestic product per capita had been approximately equal to Italy and significantly higher than that of Japan. Cuban's workers enjoyed some of the highest wages in the world. Cuba attracted more immigrants, primarily from Europe, as a percentage of population than the US!
While you were sleeping, Wiki has become THE most reliable Internet source of ready FACTS. Get with the times. Real teachers know that Wiki is 99% reliable.
Wiki is accessable and changeble by anyone. Names and places can esily be altered, they don't even fact check 1/3 of the material in there. For example, most of the Wiki information is gathered though "The Black Book Of Communism" I single and biased source material, but acceptable by wiki standards because as long as there is a book about a subject it makes it a wiki fact.
"Changeable." Exactly. Why don't you or your friends "correct" the untruths in Wiki? I'll tell you why you don't. There is a dispute resulution process on Wiki. Only a recently-posted article on a new or obscure subject should be viewed with suspecioun because it has not yet been through this verication process.
"Comrade Fidel" nationalized private property, shut down all opposition newspapers and took control of radio and TV (and your mind.) Moderates, teachers and professors were purged. In any year, about 20,000 dissenters were held and tortured; 15,000 to 17,000 people were executed.
Never stopped Castro? Cuba became a client-state of the Soviet Union and after the Bay of Pigs, the US did everything in its power to KEEP CASTRO ALIVE, fearing his murder would touch off WWIII.
Come on. Dig through your stack of propaganda. Surely you can find SOMETHING that could be twisted to back up your ridiculous claim that the "US tried to kill Castro 22 times." Go ahead. Make my day.
I gave you it, a non-fiction documentary is a source. I would also bring your attention to What Fidel has said himself, as well as the journalists of Granma.
Okay. You win. ""Filmed in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, this massive biography of Cuban leader Fidel Castro begins in the 1950s, when the title character, then a young and hungry lawyer, bristles at the iniquities and corruption of the Batista political regime. Inspired by the words by left-wing radio commentor Eddie Chibas (Hector Elizondo), Fidel becomes active in a revolutionary movement aimed at toppling Fulgencio Batista (Tony Plana)."
From what i see of your opinions i wouldn't expect much from you. Although wiki is up-datable very easily, for example my recent ascension to vice chair of the socialist party of Florida has been put up. I don't know how they teach, "yungins" in Mississippi, but in my class wiki is not a verifiable source and i don't allow my students to use it. However for some students i allow then to read world papers like Granma to learn the truth behind the propaganda.
You win again. Castro SAID so. It is certainly true. But "Granma"? The Granma was a boat. I didn't realize Fidel had journalists aboard when he and a few others "invaded" Cuba. I give up. Any "journalist" is more reliable than Wiki (even if they exist only in the mind.) Bye. Keep up the good work.
You're right again. Not only am I "ignorant" but I'm not too good with numbers either. But I'd guess that WELL OVER 100 million people have died IN MY LIFETIME because of your socialism.
And another 50 million are in Marxist slave labor camps TODAY (not counting prison inmates). Do you know that people in Marxist countries live in poverty and fear, risking their lives to escape? Yet no one is trying to escape from the USA... Why is that, Einstein? Why do you push this crap?
DO I have a file, ow please tell me i do. I was infected by a education infection. I couldn't stop reading and learning how wrong people like you are, that's all.

Real teachers don't even let their students use wiki as a source material. Maybe in Mississippi standards, but we in Florida have higher standards.

The US has tried to kill Castro a documented 22 times, nice try.

Document them for ME. Prove it. (Try Wiki. Its a good starting place for people who know nothing about a particular subject.)

Einstein was a socialist.

So. Why do you do it? Is it because someone infected your mind with hatred? Tell me about it. I have time.
