Castro saved Cuba from a worse fate when he took over government.
And he was extremely clever to get Russia's backing early in the piece because the US were
going to screw him over big time. He couldn't trust anyone else at that time and please remember
he was not a communist dictator. He ran his own show, yes, with somewhat an iron fist but
put support systems in place for the people. He had to make do with what resources he had.
It was far from perfect and the way of life a lot of us have known, but their system has worked
for Cuba back then and it still works for Cuba today.
I say let them be.
