Fidel Castro "educated the kids, gave them health care ..."
"but, you know, it’s simply unfair to say everything is bad,”
Fact: more than 100,000 people died at the hands of the Castro regime. By firing squad. By beatings in prisons. Starvation. Drowning trying to flee.
I wonder if it's fair to suggest that Castro's literacy program and health care were inconsequential when held beside the devastation to Cuba (a once quite productive society) and it's citizens under the Castro regime. Great to say that you can read while you die of starvation or are beaten to death as a political prisoner. That health care doesn't mean much while standing in front of 5 rifles while tied to a pole and blind folded.
And Bernie says: "I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator", refering to Kim Jung Ung, as if Trump approves of the human devastation in NK. Trump is trying to get NK to abandon it's nuke program; not trying to adopt it's governmental methodology. "I am no friend of Vladimir Putin", as if Trump is. And Bernie has plenty of praise of Russia. Hell, he honeymooned there.
But he is quite complementary of Fidel Castro ... a murdering dictator and architect of Cuba's Socialist state.
There have been over 600,000 people escape Cuba to get away from the Castro regime since 1959. That is ESCAPING. For a country the size of Cuba, that would be like 20,000,000 people trying to ESCAPE the US. Fortunately with the US, you don't have to escape. You are free to leave any time you want, for the most part.
Sorry, Bernie, you really need to rethink your positions.
