Castro was a dictator, but this is hyperbole at its finest. There was no mass murder in Cuba, and Castro remains popular with cubans
-
There is hyperbole on both sides but I don't think noting that Castro was a totalitarian dictator is incorrect.
-
Most historians (non-twitter) would agree. Am I a fan of communism? Nope. Also, not a fan of clinging to false narratives? Nope.
-
Castro wasn't Stalin - I get that. Many South American leaders were also bad. This doesn't make Castro a good guy.
-
So, to be clear, the US issue wasn't tyranny, it was a communist tyranny, which they (wrongly) believed was a Soviet puppet
-
my issue is tyranny - regardless of the political stripes of the actor behind it.
-
well that's a nice sentiment.
