He also murdered 10,723 Cubans.
But we really do need to invest more money into housing.
I mean…sure he built some stuff. Even authoritarian leaders must do things for the people, on occasion. Otherwise, a new revolution will be inevitable. He also built a system of control and was responsible for imprisoning, torturing or simply murdering rivals, dissenters and anyone that didn’t want their property stolen by the government.
But, sure, they built some stuff. Good for them.
He’s still hated by the fat mosquitoes in Miami. 😂😂
With the money and prosperity of previous governments.
Seriously murdered over ten thousand and responsible for nearly 80,000 others who died fleeing his regime but man those roads are great

Everyone in this thread that wants to know the truth of the matter just needs to drive down to Miami and spend 10 minutes talking to Cuban expats to realize every pro Castro idiot in this thread is completely wrong and a douche.
He also fathered Justin Trudeau
The utter tyranny
Oh gosh – that is terrible. No wonder he was hated. By the US.
They cannot do the same 60 yrs later.
