Today is his birthday, and Twitter is filled with idiotic comments praising his revolution and "leadership". The guy was Stalin, but just on a smaller stage.

I know Twitter isn't real life, but this kind of trend is disturbing.

He murdered anyone who stood in his way and denied human rights to his countrymen.


But he made the trains run on time....

Hopefully some prominent Dem political figures get in on the Castro praise too so Trump can lock up the Cuban vote in Florida.

Che Guevara was more the heavy handed one than Fidel, but that ain't a stretch.

Could people freely leave Fidel’s Cuba. A lot of people were imprisoned or died trying to leave. Communism can only survive with an enslaved population. Oh, they don’t have our rights and they get a one-sided indoctrination. I wish the progfilth would move there

He killed people who disagreed with him politically or sent them to prison.

Do not doubt that today’s left wants to do the same and would if given enough power.

Biden's wife was down there praising the regime following obama's castro slurpfest.

The photo of obama standing in front of the Che mural should have soured all of Florida's cuban population.

Someone should find the quote by "Che" on his opinion of Black people.

"As for Guevara's views on race, he did not mince words. After the Revolution's victory in 1959, he famously said, "We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing."

And no, it wasn't just hard feelings over how Cuban blacks had supported the biracial dictator Fulgencio Batista. With Guevara it was more of a conviction, as we can glean from another quote. Speaking of blacks he said: "The ***** is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent."
Yes, quite a model that Che Guevara. You'd buy a car from him, wouldn't you? What will Mercedes-Benz come up with next? The Baader-Mienhof super coupe?"
Che

It's not a stretch.

He didn't have near the population, or resources Stalin did but you can bet that if he had, the results would have been similar.

I’ve been to Cuba. This is not true. All the trains are inoperable. What his revolution did to that country is sinful. You can see that it used to be a beautiful, prosperous place. Now, it is nothing but poverty, filled with desperate people.

Che was so obnoxious, Castro sent him to Bolivia to “spread the revolution” just to be rid of him...knowing that they’d kill him.
