" Legacy: "He Stood Up For Peace And Freedom In Africa"

And Death, rules and restrictions and destruction at home
Then he fought off and minimized any potential rivals
creating irreparable damage .
Does that remind you of anyone ?

Castro didn’t even stand up for peace and freedom in Africa; Mugabe and Idi Amin were pretty brutal communists/leftists.

He stood for communist revolution in Africa, that's not the same thing.

“Freedom” for you to tyrannize, and your opponents, resting in “Peace”.

Mr. Douglas : "Hilter built the Autobahn" nopardons :" Which is a far better accomplishment than ANYTHING Fidel ever did!"

Don't let Jay Leno go to Cuba
It has the best collection of 1950's Chevys and Buicks, that are still working !
Castro could sell 60 year old classics at face value and pull Cuba out of financial depression.

Peace and Freedom in Africa? He sent troops to kill people and break things so that communists could rule.

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery.

You’re only partially correct. Those cars have been kept running with spit and bastardized parts for more decades than most can imagine and they are wrecks. Oh, they run ( sort of ), but are really just junkers.

Isn’t saying anything nice about a brutal murdering dictator “hate speech”?

Good one!

I saw a Ry Cooder video of a performance at the Buena Vista Social Club (it’s in Cuba) and there was a lot of footage of them driving around in an early 60’s convertible. The whole scene looked like it was the early 60’s. The sheer quantity of classics was astounding. It’s like they are frozen in time.

this pass-ant little Caribbean country fought or
supported wars EVERY where!-

cuba lost-
around 15,000 dead in Angola
3,000 in Somalia
Mozambique
the congo
chile
tried to get NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!- almost started WWIII

there has been a systematic destruction of ALL Jews
(now less than a thousand)and SATANIC worship into all
Christian faiths (( Many persons consult with practitioners of religions with roots in West Africa and the Congo River basin, known as Santeria. These religious practices are commonly intermingled with Catholicism, and some even require Catholic baptism for full membership!!)

this was the most VILE man- castro burn in hell
hope your brother follows you soon

“He stood up for Communist dictatorships in Africa.”

A suitable leader for the Democrats.

Ellison is an ignorant son of a bitch. Castro used the war in Angola as a training ground for his troops.
