He certainly had a lot of enemies, even tho he killed quite a few of them in his day... and we may never know the numbers of innocents that drown trying to leave his Utopia.

The lefties liked to fantasize about Pres Bush suspending elections and becoming a dictator, but when Castro does it it’s something to be admired.
