What da fuck do you know about cuba, on the outside it looks all good and charming "the island trapped in a time machine" "the caribbean pearl" you clearly dont know shit youre saying fucking ignorant go ahead and ask a real cuban you dont know what it feels like till you live it!!!
Cuba is one of the most successful countries in Latin America despite being under heavy sanctions. It has high employment, low poverty, some of the best education and some of the best doctors and despite being under sanctions, they still held up their internationalist duties and actively supported revolutions all over the world. Real Cubans are currently in mourning, you don't need to look far to see real Cubans actually crying in the streets because of Fidel's passing.
This is a face of a man who counted regular people as garbage and sheeple, who took everything and lived like a king when people of Cuba lived in poverty.
This man is a hero to me because he inspired and triggered revolution not only in his own country, but else where around the world. Being from Southern Africa, my ancestors were treated unfairly by our government and without Castro's interventions, we would still be under imperial rule.
FreakingSweeeet nicee a hero to and a fucking disgrace to the cuban community, this guy would speak about human rights in all his speeches but no cuban in cuba has human right my uncle went to prison for 15 years of his life just for saying that he disagreed with his thoughts. This same hero of yours has murder more than 10,000 cubans and thats not even half the amount of the people that has died trying to escape, so try to think about what kind of man your hero really is.
Bruno56 Of course, there's crime, but can you name a country that doesn't have any form of breaking laws? Hell even our goverment does it. My point is that we're free to go wherever we want, do whatever we want and be with whomever we desire! Those things alone wouldn't be possible without Fidel and the many people around the world that contributed to the abolition of apartheid.
This is the exact reason he was so evil... people fell in love with how he spoke.. his lies were going unchecked because people were going by HOW he spoke, instead of WHAT he spoke.
Just because Cubans are not financially wealthy doesn't mean they are dirt poor. Look at Haiti vs Cuba. Haiti adopted the capitalist model and that place is in shambles. Everyone is not compatible with the capitalist model so you shouldn't force it onto people. Some people want, all organic food, high life expectancy, high literacy rates. Some people don't want to go nitpicking wars every year with other nations, they just want to be left alone. It's stupid because ; why do want a lot of money? Answer, organic food is expensive. Answer, schools are expensive Healthcare, daycare, all expensive stuff. But when all that stuff is free or next to free, why do you need a lot of money ? Why then if you already have the stuff you want why would you need money to buy them?
omnomthebeast yes, you're right, but I didn't mean it that way I meant in the US it's expensive. Makes sense, there's no pesticide, no phosphates. So why should it cost more. Good point.
Richard Dimpske oh dont worry i didnt mean it as an offense i understood what you were saying, other than that this is the best comment ive seen on yt for the three months.
Men you should post this one comment all over cuban revolution, che guevara and fidel castro's interviews and any other reactionary capitalist critiques to communism. Right to the point: If one truly can live with the basic necessities, education and health care available and a few occassional commodities here and there why would he/she desire a capitalist regime? Thats exactly what they want: to force you to want, to spend, to be nonconformist and break your back for years to get a 'profit' that will go right bacl to them..
Vinicio Blanco exactly comrade. I only need to work one hour a day to feed my family, with aquaponics. I only need to work 4 hours a day to have clothing and shoes and miscellaneous supplies. All in all I only have to work 35 hours a week to completely supply my family with necessities. People need to stop and think. What are you going to do when the power goes out? When food isn't being trucked in to you? when water isn't being pumped in to you? People don't know how to think for themselves at all, they just believe whatever propaganda the news spreads across the screen.
LeafyIsHere He resisted a corrupt dictator, Fulgencio Batista and provided universal health and education and expanded land ownership 90 miles from a country whose land was stolen from Native Americans and whose accelerated development owes much to man stealing and slavery.
LeafyIsHere After the American Revolution, John Adams became a Dictator. During the Civil War, Lincoln became a Dictator. Castro had to struggle to hold a Revolution together as the most powerful country on earth within the same hemisphere used every method both fair and unfair, legal and illegal to undermine his Revolution often covertly and in violation of International Law.
Jason Ford Whatever you say. You don't really have any evidence on how they were dictators, and you clearly do not see Castro as the people of Cuba see him
LeafyIsHere The people of Cuba were given the option to Leave at Mariel in 1980.

Fidel Castro was an amazing revolutionary. Although his first attack with his group of rebels had failed and he was exiled to Mexico with his brother Raul Castro and many other Cuban rebels he kept persistent. While in Mexico he planned with other revolutionaries like Che Guevara. He then headed back to Cuba where he took control and became Cuba's new leader in 1959. As soon as the United States got involved the situation quickly escalated. It all started when Castro seized "American Factories and other buildings that belonged to the United States." First off the US had no right to own land in Cuba. I believe that Castro did the right thing for both him and his people. I believe that every one of Castro's actions can be justified. Just put yourself in Castro's perspective and you will see how easily it is to agree with his actions.
Capitalist-imperialism is in its geriatric stage. The parasitic empires of the world, especially U$A have created the conditions that will lead to World War 3. It us up to us to save ourselves.
I believe that there is no country in the world including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country's policies during the Batista regime. I approved the proclamation which Fidel Castro made in the Sierra Maestra, when he justifiably called for justice and especially yearned to rid Cuba of corruption. I will even go further: to some extent it is as though Batista was the incarnation of a number of sins on the part of the United States. Now we shall have to pay for those sins. In the matter of the Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban revolutionaries. That is perfectly clear. ” - U.S. President John F. Kennedy, to Jean Daniel, October 24, 1963

Maybe it was when he made Cuba the ONLY country in the world that complies with ecological sustainability. Maybe it was when he made Cuba a classless society meaning that people actually have to give a fuck about eachother and rich people no longer had the privileges that they had and rich people can no longer take advantage of the ones struggling? I know that's like a real pet peeve for Americans! You know, actually I think that the day he made Cuba the only country in the world that was able to eradicate the mother-child transmission of HIV. Or perhaps when he sent thousands of Cuban doctors to countries all around on mission trips to help ? Maybe you should move to Cuba. I heard they have a great education system better than America actually. Seems like you kind of need it. :/

There were undoubtedly some failures of the Castro government that continue to this day, but I think it's important to keep a sense of perspective when considering this man's legacy. Fidel et al saved Cuba from the escalating rape of its people by the crony capitalism and gangsterism of the Batista regime. I shudder to think what modern Cuba might've looked like had that revolution not happened. Hasta la Victoria Siempre.

Eh aqui aqui una prueba de los grandes pensamientos de Fidel Castro. “Que hay clase media, ¿por qué si aquí todo el mundo debiera ser clase media? (APLAUSOS.) ¿Por qué si en nuestra patria no debiera existir un solo pobre? ¿Por qué si esta es una de las islas más ricas y fértiles del mundo? ¿Por qué si aquí pueden vivir 30 millones de habitantes? ¿Por qué si Holanda, si Dinamarca, si esos países con más habitantes, con menos tierras, con menos fertilidad, son incomparablemente más ricos que nosotros? ¿Por qué si en Cuba había medios naturales de sobra para que todo cubano tuviese lo necesario para vivir decorosamente y, además, le sobrara? Si aquí cuando se sacan unas cuentas elementales y analizamos lo que se han robado, lo que se han llevado, lo que le han esquilmado al pueblo, habría para haberle construido una casa a cada familia, 20 escuelas en la aldea más pequeña, 10 000 carreteras, hospitales, acueductos, industrias, y haber desarrollado la vida económica del país de manera que este fuese hoy el pueblo más feliz y el pueblo más rico del mundo, y que no lo ha sido por el egoísmo, por la explotación, por la intervención de factores extraños en nuestra tierra, y por la forma dolorosa e infecunda en que se ha desarrollado la historia de nuestro pueblo”. Fidel Castro. Po que hoy en 2014 hay tantos pobres en Cuba? Quien es el que roba hoy? Quien explota hoy? Quienes son los egoistas hoy?
I know many people hate this guy, I know for sure after a period of time after his death, he will be regarded as a great leader. Although many of his actions were non-humanitarian by some people's standards. Nevertheless he was an able leader driven by necessity, and he was a successful one.
All those may be true, I don't doubt the fact that he committed crimes of his own. But when I read about Fidel actions, it's like I am reading about Philip II of Macedon (Alexander the great's father). Many of the things Philip committed, Fidel did so as well, he made and unmade things, changed the orders, made the rich poor and the poor rich. And look at how people spoke of Philip after his death, they revered him as a great and accomplished monarch. Even today people believe Philip was a great monarch, the same will happen with Fidel, people will consider him to be a great leader. Also can you please send me a link to a video where Castro denies being a communist, I would appreciate it a lot.
If the United Sates Government really wanted Castro overthrown, they never should have cut off diplomatic ties. In pretty much every country where there has been a CIA sponsored coup, there were embassies and consulates, to get the right people in. What is ironic, is Castro fought a guerrilla war in Angola, and Vietnam fought one in Cambodia. I despise communism, but if I has a choice between Castro's Cuba or Saudi Arabia, I would pick Cuba hands down. Baseball, beautiful women and great beaches, no wonder it's easy to keep the Cuban people happy.
i am an indian and christian ,but castro is my hero,he is not only a hero of cubans but also to all those loves poor people truely with their heart.....
Spot on Fidel ..spot on. I myself wish I had your courage and your know-how to be able to stand up and fight for my exploited and opressed brothers and sisters. VIVA FIDEL & CHE!!
At the beginning of 1959 United States companies owned about 40 percent of the Cuban sugar lands-almost all the cattle ranches-90 percent of the mines and mineral concessions-80 percent of the utilities-practically all the oil industry-and supplied two-thirds of Cuba's imports. ” - John F. Kennedy
They also use the same argument against Mao's China. Forgetting of course that famines were a regular occurrence throughout Chinese history & The Communists only had to deal with one before they eradicated that problem.
Yeah, he only had to make his country authoritarian in response to American imperialism and aggression. It's America's fault, but many people can't see that
Fidel speaks the truth back then us Hispanics from Latin America struggled as we're being treated like shit. Fidel and Che Guevara did what not many of our ancestors did fought in guerrilla warfare. I can care less shit about people beliefs. They fought for what they believed in now we have politicians running our wars. When back then a small group want it what was there's. Open your eyes if it's not us who will make a difference ?
The revolution was not clean, but no revolution has been. The Batista regime is responsible for the conditions that brought about Castro and revolutionaries like him. The allegations of torture are true, at least during the times confined to the Sierra Maestra mountains. But when you consider that the regime they were fighting were slaughtering the civilians near them in an effort stop them, you can see why equal retaliation was used. Castro and his regime were directly supported by the vast majority of people, along with the things they did. The prisoners taken, and those that fled the country were people complicit in Batista's regime, and wealthy landowners who directly profited from it. His dictatorship was of course unfortunate, but nessesary given the countless attempts by America to end it. The dictatorship in Cuba is now nonexistent, the communist party is forbidden to take part in elections, local communities elect their own officials and representatives, and the general secretary his now a figurehead. The real power is separated between the Prime minister and President. Cuba is indisputably better than before, and nearly every Cuban living in the country sees it that way.

I approved the proclamation which Fidel Castro made in the Sierra Maestra, when he justifiably called for justice and especially yearned to rid Cuba of corruption. I will even go further: to some extent it is as though Batista was the incarnation of a number of sins on the part of the United States. Now we shall have to pay for those sins. In the matter of the Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban revolutionaries. That is perfectly clear. ”
- U.S. President John F. Kennedy, to Jean Daniel, October 24, 1963
Great words.
Long live to FIDEL.
NO. IT IS DEAD !

Funny one
dictator? "Doesn't care about Cuban people" Buddy if anyone needs to do research then it's you my friend :)
Jango Fett YES! He was such an asshole! Tell me when did you realize he was an asshole? Was it when he lowered illiteracy in Cuba in one year? Or when he lowered the infant mortality rate from 42% to 4%? Or maybe when he created vaccines against cancer! Maybe it was when he made Cuba the ONLY country in the world that complies with ecological sustainability. Maybe it was when he made Cuba a classless society meaning that people actually have to give a fuck about eachother and rich people no longer had the privileges that they had and rich people can no longer take advantage of the ones struggling? I know that's like a real pet peeve for Americans! You know, actually I think that the day he made Cuba the only country in the world that was able to eradicate the mother-child transmission of HIV. Or perhaps when he sent thousands of Cuban doctors to countries all around on mission trips to help ? Maybe you should move to Cuba. I heard they have a great education system better than America actually. Seems like you kind of need it. :/
LiveAventura XD, yeah and forget all the political prisoners and firing squads. Funny one though.
The great heroic man. I first heard about him in 1979 regarding NAM Conference in Hawana. Really very impressive and charismatic leader who leaded the Cuban Nation from the front. Salute from Pakistan

KULO: RIP him into pieces !
There were undoubtedly some failures of the Castro government that continue to this day, but I think it's important to keep a sense of perspective when considering this man's legacy. Fidel et al saved Cuba from the escalating rape of its people by the crony capitalism and gangsterism of the Batista regime. I shudder to think what modern Cuba might've looked like had that revolution not happened. Hasta la Victoria Siempre.
Great speech, only it wasn't in 1967, but 1957
It cannot be 57, he talks about Vietnam
+Claudio Costa the Vietnam War started in November 1st 1955
Yes, but direct intervention of U.S. army started in 1965... I'm puzzled...
@@ClaudioCosta1900 But before US intervention, there was a war of independece against France. Fidel talk here about fight against "imperialism" not only "US imperialism".

Hasta la victoria siempre comandante !!! jamás te doblegaste ante los caprichos de usa, degraciadamente muchos ciudadanos de Cuba todavía no se han dado cuenta que el único causante de la miseria que se vive en Cuba , es por causa del imperialismo yanki, en toda Latinoamérica hay hambre, nesecidad y violencia, mientras que en Cuba hay hambre nesecidad, educacion gratis, cuidados medicos gratis y las personas caminan por las calles sin preocupacion de que alguien les meta un tiro practicamente por gusto. soy mexicano y tenido la oportunidad de vivir en estos tres paises, Un saludo a mis hermanos cubanos de todo el mundo, esto no es para ofender a nadie, es simplemente mi humilde opinion. en México hoy en día hay miles de niños analfabetos, niños sicarios que realmente nos es el camino que desean , pero es el camino que el gobierno les ha obligado a tomar, y en México reyna la '' democracia '' ......Patria o Muerte la historia lo absolverá Com andante.
From Iraq, we love you Castro ❤
Can some Cuban tell me why his accent is much clearer than every other Cuban I have ever heard talk.
Tito Rocha I speak Spanish and I noticed this too. It might be the fact that contemporary pop culture has embedded a lot of slang in the language ....
FreakingSweeeet yup I'm Cuban and it true
Did some more reading and it might be because his father was from Spain so his accent could have rubbed off on him.
VezlaDeCalle Because people were ignorant of batista, you clown?
He had 5 uni degrees.
Although I am no fan of communism. Castro and Lenin are the only two that I probably might like. All the others like Stalin and maoh zeidong are all mad with power and they didn't really fight for a good cause.
Lenin was a mass murderer, a terrible dictator.

Mas claro ,imposible ,uno de los grandes pensadores del siglo pasado ,fuente absoluta de constante inspiración !!!
Eh aqui aqui una prueba de los grandes pensamientos de Fidel Castro.
“Que hay clase media, ¿por qué si aquí todo el mundo debiera ser clase media? (APLAUSOS.) ¿Por qué si en nuestra patria no debiera existir un solo pobre? ¿Por qué si esta es una de las islas más ricas y fértiles del mundo? ¿Por qué si aquí pueden vivir 30 millones de habitantes? ¿Por qué si Holanda, si Dinamarca, si esos países con más habitantes, con menos tierras, con menos fertilidad, son incomparablemente más ricos que nosotros? ¿Por qué si en Cuba había medios naturales de sobra para que todo cubano tuviese lo necesario para vivir decorosamente y, además, le sobrara? Si aquí cuando se sacan unas cuentas elementales y analizamos lo que se han robado, lo que se han llevado, lo que le han esquilmado al pueblo, habría para haberle construido una casa a cada familia, 20 escuelas en la aldea más pequeña, 10 000 carreteras, hospitales, acueductos, industrias, y haber desarrollado la vida económica del país de manera que este fuese hoy el pueblo más feliz y el pueblo más rico del mundo, y que no lo ha sido por el egoísmo, por la explotación, por la intervención de factores extraños en nuestra tierra, y por la forma dolorosa e infecunda en que se ha desarrollado la historia de nuestro pueblo”.
Fidel Castro.
Po que hoy en 2014 hay tantos pobres en Cuba? Quien es el que roba hoy? Quien explota hoy? Quienes son los egoistas hoy?
Fidel...u are Legend ,love from Vietnam
Слава му и хвала!
Миљан Самарџић слава му
Badass, kinda mean, but damn did he live
I know many people hate this guy, I know for sure after a period of time after his death, he will be regarded as a great leader. Although many of his actions were non-humanitarian by some people's standards. Nevertheless he was an able leader driven by necessity, and he was a successful one.
All those may be true, I don't doubt the fact that he committed crimes of his own.
But when I read about Fidel actions, it's like I am reading about Philip II of Macedon (Alexander the great's father). Many of the things Philip committed, Fidel did so as well, he made and unmade things, changed the orders, made the rich poor and the poor rich. And look at how people spoke of Philip after his death, they revered him as a great and accomplished monarch. Even today people believe Philip was a great monarch, the same will happen with Fidel, people will consider him to be a great leader.
Also can you please send me a link to a video where Castro denies being a communist, I would appreciate it a lot.
*****
That was so well said...
He did do one good thing like helping Mandela ending the apartheid in South Africa.
He fought based on ideal and moral conviction that's why he survived everything!!
jdtrickster4 You mean what the CIA wasnt able to do.lol
R.I.P. Fiddle Casserole 1926-2016
If the United Sates Government really wanted Castro overthrown, they never should have cut off diplomatic ties. In pretty much every country where there has been a CIA sponsored coup, there were embassies and consulates, to get the right people in. What is ironic, is Castro fought a guerrilla war in Angola, and Vietnam fought one in Cambodia. I despise communism, but if I has a choice between Castro's Cuba or Saudi Arabia, I would pick Cuba hands down. Baseball, beautiful women and great beaches, no wonder it's easy to keep the Cuban people happy.
If they wanted him overthrown that bad. They would have overthrown him. simple
barnetthejosh I wonder what was going on in the shadows? I don't trust our government, or someone like him.
***** I think the CIA and Castro's Intelligence Directorate are in collaboration in the drug trade.
He was right

At the beginning of 1959 United States companies owned about 40 percent of the Cuban sugar lands-almost all the cattle ranches-90 percent of the mines and mineral concessions-80 percent of the utilities-practically all the oil industry-and supplied two-thirds of Cuba's imports. ”
- John F. Kennedy
They also use the same argument against Mao's China. Forgetting of course that famines were a regular occurrence throughout Chinese history & The Communists only had to deal with one before they eradicated that problem.

Fidel speaks the truth back then us Hispanics from Latin America struggled as we're being treated like shit. Fidel and Che Guevara did what not many of our ancestors did fought in guerrilla warfare. I can care less shit about people beliefs. They fought for what they believed in now we have politicians running our wars. When back then a small group want it what was there's. Open your eyes if it's not us who will make a difference ?
RIP Fidel
The revolution was not clean, but no revolution has been. The Batista regime is responsible for the conditions that brought about Castro and revolutionaries like him. The allegations of torture are true, at least during the times confined to the Sierra Maestra mountains. But when you consider that the regime they were fighting were slaughtering the civilians near them in an effort stop them, you can see why equal retaliation was used. Castro and his regime were directly supported by the vast majority of people, along with the things they did. The prisoners taken, and those that fled the country were people complicit in Batista's regime, and wealthy landowners who directly profited from it. His dictatorship was of course unfortunate, but nessesary given the countless attempts by America to end it. The dictatorship in Cuba is now nonexistent, the communist party is forbidden to take part in elections, local communities elect their own officials and representatives, and the general secretary his now a figurehead. The real power is separated between the Prime minister and President. Cuba is indisputably better than before, and nearly every Cuban living in the country sees it that way.
