I honestly agree.
I just think it is ridiculous to claim that Castro was "a great leader" when Cuba has fared very poorly under Castro in almost every respect. I felt obliged to point this out.

- chinhodado 10y agoExactly. It doesn't help that the biggest country in the international stage is doing everything it can to stop you from succeeding.
- blahi 10y agoWell, they made their choice. They had the actual biggest country doing everything it can to make them succeed. Or is it better to forget because it was a failure? Communism failed. Mistakes like that are unforgivable.
- Piskvorrr 10y agoBut it sort of helps that the other biggest country is doing the opposite. Of course, it gets complicated when that country stops existing - in the case of Soviet Union, that was in 1993, IIRC.
