Aside from all of the horrible things, Castro was actually a solid guy. Good cigars and hospitals.

Their seems to be an endless supply of people wanting to be eviscerated by Tucker Carlson.
Cuban Donald Trump. All the idiots in the mountains who can’t read love ’em. Life is better now for the average Cuban than it was before ’59. No more segregation. Everyone can read. Kids all play piano.
No one is defending totalitarianism. Typical black and white polarized bullshit for the masses that need black and white explanations of everything.
Like we didnt massacre an entire race of Indians, enslave an entire race of Africans. Hang kids on trees for whistling at people. AND nobody learned to read in the process. No one will ever come close to being as evil as we were.
Fidel Castro hates freedom. Sure. So let’s ignore everything that they did right in Cuba that we could learn from here… in our utopian society where we have 1%+ of our population behind bars.
Typical FOX news being rude as fuck to the people they invite on their stupid shows. Network is owned by Saudis that want America as stupid as possible and now you have cashed in on the same thing. Nice ads on the website. Page views are all that matters. You dumb down America and get paid for it.
70% year over year increase in views on IBC!!!
You could get 70% more blowjobs if you switch to fat girls and roofies too
You’re a disgrace to intelligent journalism.
Go drink the water in Flint, Michigan son
I dare you to to leave behind your capitalist comforts here in the USA, assuming your sorry ass lives here, and go live and bask in the sun in shit hole Cuba where any Cuban that had the cojones and was fortunate to risk getting eaten by sharks swimming the 90 miles tried escaping the dictatorship of the failed experiment called communism! BTW the lefties say it’s all “peaches” and cream over there. Give me cancer and illiteracy over freedom! LMAO
You sir, are a retarded person. It is Apples and Oranges to compare US and Cuba. Compare Cuba to another Latin American nation.
Would you rather live in Nicaragua than Cuba?
Honduras than Cuba?
Mexico?
Colombia?
If Fidel Castro took over the most powerful nation on earth then we would have a comparison between the two… but he did not.
Have you ever put yourself in the shoes of a foreign country? Would you just sit there and let a bunch of foreigners bleed your country dry? take all your resources and leave nothing for your people? Casinos, Hotels, THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF ARABLE LAND… owned by people who don’t live there? who use the profits to paint their boats while your people starve?
Castro took over an Island that grows sugar. Then the most powerful nation on Earth 90 miles away tried to assassinate him, tried to overthrow his government and failed.
And they still managed to learn how to read. All of ’em. We got people here who don’t know what WWII was about. Most people think the Germans were evil in WWI. Some people think it started cuz someone got shot!
Americans are literally retarded. We’re all idiots. Except me. Of course. I’m super fucking smart.
What Castro did right in Cuba has nothing to do with Communism. You guys are just too stupid to see past that word.
Not one tiny sugar growing Island Latin American nation has ever come close. I went to Panama last year. GDP growth astonishing. Downtown looks like Dubai. There’s even a Trump Hotel. The slums look just as slummy as ever. It takes even longer to get to the rural areas, airplanes arent landing in villages that were promised runways 20 years ago. They just elected a millionaire from the family that owns the largest distillery. He’s now destroying the government. But the poor people love him simply because his name is on the cheapest bottle of rum.
Electing rich people whose last name everyone knows just because they “know how to run a business” is typical donkeybrained bullshit.
Welcome to Latin America you ignorant uneducated little squirrel lookin mother fucker.
Anybody who says “I’m super fucking smart” is code for “I’m a dumb ass mother fucking piece of shit”.
I really got a good one for you Peaches. I married a Cuban girl and non of the crap you spew justifies the suffering and horror her parents and siblings underwent in her country under El Dictador Fidel Castro. They were fortunate to be sponsored by one of their relatives already living here in the USA. They came here with only their shirts on their backs because it was so wonderful in Communist Cuba. They tell me about the atrocities perpetuated in state prisons like El Paradon for those whose only crime was to politically question your Hero Fidel Castro. I own much of my success in having a good wife with morals and integrity that are only a remote theory to liberal ideological scumbags like you!
Cuba was one of the richer nations in Latin America when Castro took over with a GDP per capita of just over $2,000. 40 years later it was virtually unchanged during a period when the world (including Latin America) underwent massive growth.
“The lefties say its all peaches and cream”
Who are “The Lefties”
Is that a band?
“The Righties” say KILL ALL THE JEWS. Shit. That’s what it says on my Instagram.
Must be true.
Don’t care what you think.
If we’re all commies then you’re all Nazis.
This right here is some real fucked up shit from a deranged psycho.
Peaches.
you’re a fucking retarded moron, typical shitposting millennial. Take a step back and literally fuck yourself.
Thanks.
You should be thanking me for making this blog interesting Fly.
pure ignorance.
That Fidel cock sucking “intellectual professor” got pwned big time.
Tucker’s becoming a must watch.
Every time like clockwork. It never fails. They are all the same. Miserable dog shit human beings are commies.
Peaches clearly doesn’t make it out of mom’s basement too often.
Colombia , Mex, DR, and just about every other place he named is better than Cuba.
Interesting that the only place worse , which Dum dum didn’t name is Haiti.
Get back on your meds my friend.
Regards
Chuck Bennett
Great argument.
Your grandchildren will love Fidel more than you.
Communism is, unfortunately inevitable.
Turn on the TeeVee and pay your social security…
Your comments aren’t worthy of a reply.
tucker brings on sub 100 IQ guests and eviscerates them… listening to that feeble good for nothing minded prof was offensive….
@peaches: it’s easy to idealize communism when you dont know history nor have experienced it firsthand….all forms of anti-capitalism like communism, socialist and fascism (they are close cousins of each other) work exclusively against the citizenry in whichever country they are being practiced — this is verifiable across time and in the present too. go read some books and learn (if poss) before you shit all over this place again.
Truth is, you’re better off staying home than going in a hospital in Cuba. It’s “free” healthcare if you bring your own blankets, your own lightbulb, your own toilet paper, and everyone over the last decade has desperately sought to get out of Cuba to the extent that over 2 million people died trying to escape, not including the Che and Castro firing squads without any trial and jailing political opponents without trial. And the quality is absolutely terrible.
Fidel is a murderous dictator who over the course of 40 years had zero GDP growth as a result of policy. How can the quality of life be anything but terrible?
The fact that people can wear a Che Guavara shirt like an ignorant hipster or a shirt with a communist symbol when Castro jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin and murdered more Cubans in his first 3 years than Hitler murdered Germans in his first 6 may be reason for leftists to rethink their life.
If you would be offended if someone wore a Nazi shirt but not offended if you see a Che Guavara shirt when both are equally terrible goes to show the double standard that people accept without really knowing why.
Has the left really become so radicalized that they idol worship a murderous dictator that every president since and including Kennedy tried to have assassinated?
Yes
Hattery, the left has no morals left and the right is rapidly losing them. Things are that screwed up.
Tucker Carlson, have you ever picked up a weapon and fought for people being brutalized by a dictator? I mean actually picked up a weapon and, with the threat of imminent death on a daily basis, fought for human beings who were too weak to fight for themselves? Castro did. So to answer your assertion that “all he did was raise literacy rates and train a bunch of doctors” no, he picked up a gun and fought for people. That is why he is adored. And you know that but you selectively leave it out because you have an agenda. Castro risked his own death to fight for people. Have you? Or have you just sat in an air conditioned facility and passed judgement on someone who did? Death was the most likely outcome for Castro from the moment he picked up that weapon and fought Fulgencio Batista. You know who Fulgencio Batista was, right? Castro not only had to fight Batista, but he had to fight Batista’s backers as well. Those backers included the number one military power in the history of the world (United States), the American Mafia – extraordinarily angry at the loss of their criminal enterprises and free reign of terror in Cuba, and the most powerful corporations on planet Earth – equally angry at the loss of their free reign to exploit the human beings in Cuba. Castro took all of them on at the risk, no, the likelihood, of death. Tell me once again about your credentials? I try to give everybody the benefit of the doubt. But you are truly a coward. You should be intellectually honest and say this is an extraordinarily complex set of circumstances that goes much deeper than Cuba and offer serious analysis. Saying “he raised literacy rates and trained a bunch of doctors so what’s the big deal” is sort of like the analysis I’d expect from a three year old. And further, consider this when assessing what Castro risked when he picked up that weapon. Fighting as an American soldier you have a far greater chance of killing than actually being killed. It’s risky. But fighting on the other side is the opposite. You have a far greater chance of being killed then killing. You, Tucker, have never had to deal with that dynamic – your country being controlled by a far more massively powerful entity and picking up arms to fight it. You are always Goliath in these battles. I wonder how you – Tucker Carlson, would react in that situation. Would you risk your own death to fight? Or would you simply do what was necessary to save your own skin? I’m guessing you’d do what you do now – sit in an air conditioned room in make-up doing power’s bidding. Funny, the country you love never tried to assassinate Fulgencio Batista. He tortured and killed Cubans before Castro drove him out. But the US never tried to assassinate him. No, they actually gave him money and weapons. That’s another reason for the widespread affinity for Castro – your nation’s hypocrisy and selective outrage. You could have mentioned that divergence in US treatment of successive Cuban dictators in your discussion. But you left it out. You also left out that Castro is adored around the world because he sent troops to oppose colonialism and apartheid in Africa and they played a decisive role in ending both. And Castro did this even though he knew the US supported and armed the other side. There are dozens of other reasons Castro is adored by masses of people around the world. But you left them out. Tucker Carlson, what you say doesn’t betray you as a mouth piece for power. It’s what you don’t say.
