[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2503698, member: 56035"] ive listened to the democracy now interview about castro a few times now. so he was close to nelson mandela and cuba helped with ending apartheid. in the interview they mention something about 500,000 cubans showing up at midnight to save the day. the cuban economy is pretty bad, but of course you have to factor in US responsibility with that. i saw a graph the other day and it was pretty good relative to other latin american countries. he was an authoritarian. he had a surviellance state set up initially to protect against the US, but it turned on its own citizens. your not allowed to dissent under castro. he did some really great things with healthcare including healthcare as a right, and also education as a right. i think cuba exported alot of doctors. i think the biggest thing is he stood up to US empire and set an example for other latin american countries.
