Castro: Socialism or death = suppression of personal and political freedoms

Putin: Supresses free speech and social/public media

Might I ask why you would ask that question?

Why shouldnt I ? You make a comment like that which is groundless and basedd on pure Propaganda.

Wat? There is a reason Stevie Wonder gets somebody to buy his paint, you know. You see to Stevie, all paint is the same because it all feels and smells the same. I think you'd gather better evidence about being a citizen if you moved to late-20th century Cuba yourself and took a whiff.

Castro did some great things! He reduced illiteracy, helped spread electricity, abolished legal discrimination, and pushed forward free healthcare and education. But he also squeezed the citizens political and economic freedoms. No elections, no private businesses, thousands of political opponents jailed, and an authoritarian position over housing and consumer goods shortages. There is a reason hundreds of thousands of Cubans left for the USA when Castro took over.

Cuba, under Castro, was one of the most corrupt states in the world. If you can claim that you'd like to live under Castro and that 40+ years of recorded history from multiple sources is a lie, is groundless, and is pure propaganda; then by all means see what your wall looks like when you're done painting. I for one would never want to live under Castro.
