Cool video but I cannot read the comments...they are moving quickly. Is there any real evidence that USA did back these Dictators. I just cannot read the comment portion.

This vid is the poster for why teenage ' radicals ' suck . The music is horrible , no one with any taste in music would give it more then 15 seconds . The ' political ' message of the vid does not go beyond hyper moralist , sentimentalist garbage .

The point I'm trying to make is that you said the current regime is good, this video is not ragging on modern-day Cuba but when it was ruled by Batista. Cuba was very profitable for US corporations at the times with the sugar plantations but now it's Cuba is hardly backed by the US with it's embargo. That is the point of this video, to educate on US-BACKED dictators, not just dictators in general.

castro was in power for 40 years no election held absolute power he a dictator and what the hell has the missle crisis got to do with him being a dictator

[Callum Hickson]

Please don't call me stupid when you don't even know history, the only time Cuba had a US backed dictator was with Batista - so either you are ignorant to the fact that he was ousted in the Cuban revolution in the 60s or you are purposely trolling. Not to mention the numerous attempts to assassinate Castro with his relations with the soviets.. the cuban missle crisis ect ect.

[ImperialGuardofIran]

are you really that stupid? i said that was "very bias" it was very and anti dictator and therefore i am criticizing the anti dictator video that means i dont think all dictatorships are bad. then i said i went to cuba and it was fine meaning good and was therefore a further criticism of this anti dictator video meaning that i have in fact experience a benevolent dictatorship for my self. how could you have interpreted my comments this way? plz reply im curious

[Callum Hickson]

Just because something is a dictatorship does not mean it's bad, there have been many benevolent dictators in history.
