He wasn’t soft spoken at all, just watch any of his speeches in Spanish. The reason he sounds soft spoken in this interview is because his voice is so hoarse because he had just given a several hour speech right before the interview decrying all of his enemies and he had almost no energy left.

It will always be hard for people in the Western world to form a clear opinion about Castro. The propaganda from western sources made him out to be worse than he was, whereas Castro's own propaganda made him out to be better than he was. As is often the case, the truth probably lies in the middle somewhere.

@@BradsPitt Communism doesn't work and I oppose it. Castro wasn't great, but it's hard to figure out exactly what individuals like him were actually like. The US likes to take things that already have problems and then make up a bunch of hyperbolic nonsense to add onto the problems. The war on drugs is a good example of this. Trying to get a clear picture of someone considered an enemy of the US is like trying to get a clear understanding of marijuana by watching Reefer Madness.

As for staying in power by force, that is not exactly true as he was very popular in Cuba as a whole, perfect proof of this is when the United States tried to overthrow him during the Bay of Pigs, they expected support from the population which did not occur.

For 64 years families have been torn apart because the government has restricted who can leave the island. For 64 years opposing political parties have been denied the right to seek office. For 64 years freedom of speech has been prohibited by the government. For 64 years citizens have been imprisoned when they have expressed opposition to government policies. For 64 years Cubans have been denied freedom of the press and freedom of assembly. From 1959 to 1992, religion was outlawed in Cuba. For decades, Cuban baseball players and boxers have been denied the right to make money overseas and return home. Once they left they were banned. Every single block in Cuba has a home dedicated to the Committee for Defense of the Revolution (CDR). The sole purpose of the CDR is to report citizens that do not toe the Communist Party line and this will cost those people their jobs (since the Government controls all jobs). You obviously are not Cuban nor do you have a loved one that was impacted by these atrocious policies.

@@DavidMars You let children have the choice what to eat every day they will probably choose candy, sometimes such freedoms are destructive in uneducated and immature hands. These people who fled may have been morally corrupted according to the ideals of the Cuban leadership under Castro's reign. In a household you will find that the parents make the decisions (usually for what they think is best for the children) but for Cuba it was for the people and the country as a whole. When does a religion become a dangerous cult that penetrates the minds of these adult children? Also the qualities of the religion are to be questioned. We are seeing the Buddhists in countries such as Myanmar resort to violence in order to fight back the Islamic religion (A toxic cult IMO) from infiltrating the country.

Castro, unlike other Communist leaders such Lenin or Mao, became converted to the ideology AFTER he took power while the others were Communists before sezing power. In fact the transition years (1959-1962) demonstrated how ideologically ambiguous the Revolution was. Khrushchev said it best to reporters in NY in 1960: "Fidel is not a Communist, but will be one in two years thanks to American Pressure". In 1962, that prophecy becomes true.

In 1959.... Castro still had no idea what direction his country would go to... The fact that the US showed hostility during the last year of Eisenhower merely encouraged him to hire Socialist and Communists in order to consolidate his position. The Cuban Revolution did NOT a have a clear ideological standing like the Russian one until 1961. Nikita Khrushchev said it best in the UN conference 1960: "Fidel Castro is NOT a Communist, but will be one in two years thanks to American pressure".

Like all the languages, it has a little bite of difficulty. I talk about a level basic, for example: when you need to conjugate a regular verb in enghish you have to say: (to drive) I drive, You drive, He drive. But in spanish, you have to chances the way of write the verb: (Manejar) Yo manejo, Tu manejas, Él maneja. Italian and Portuguese is even easier for hispanics because those languages are very very very similar. I study languages, but i´m not a good student jajajaja Thank for write.

@@javakris You have got to be a communist automaton. What hacienda? My mom grew up in a 3 bedroom house with 8 siblings. My grandfather made his living with a small family plot that he and his kids farmed to sell at markets. My other grandfather had a tiny grocery store, most of his sales were paid with an IOU from local small farmers until their crops came in and they came back to the store to settle their bills months later with not one penny of interest ever charged to them by my grandfather. Both that tiny family farm plot and tiny grocery store were stolen by the communist and my family was left with no means to earn a living. Whatever nonsense koolaid you have been drinking, your synapses obviously stopped firing decades ago. As for slavery, that ended in 1880 and formerly abolished by decree in 1886. Unless you are referring to the fact that we are all slaves to this leftist totalitarian regime that has been choking us and our economy to death for over 6 decades. Most of those small family farms that use to be the lifeblood of the Cuban economy producing food for the population and some surplus for exports, have been sitting there for decades growing nothing but thorny weeds. No food for the people, no food for export, just weeds. Very few want to work under this system, they don’t get paid enough to make it worth it. Everyone is busy with their little street hustles where they can make a little more without working.

@5oclocktea I admire Comrade Fidel as well. He has done much for his country and for socialism. Cuba is much better today than it was under America's control. Fidel shows us that Communism works. He is the most humanitarian president in the world. He walks among the people and asks how he can help them. I dare anyone to name one US president that's done that. Long live Fidel and long live the Cuban Revolution!

Apparently yes, he did not want communism. Che conducted some secret talks with the Kennedy administration to retain the system. This created some differences and friction with Castro. It is said that Castro ended up hating him, and that's the main reason for Che to leave for Bolivia which he tried to take over with 12 guerrilleros.

Actually there are some Latin American countries who have a better healthcare rating than Cuba. Costa Rica is ranked above the U.S (36th), Chile (33rd) and Colombia (22nd). But this is beside the point. Cuba can flaunt its healthcare accomplishments and education all it wants, but it doesn't take away from the fact that Cuba is a dictatorship, where individual human rights are not respected, with the highest number of political prisoners in the Western Hemisphere.

like half the people here, yes, i must admit i do very much enjoy playing as Fidel Castro on Black Ops. but that's not what is being discussed here. if you Americans bothered to watch a few films ( specifically Che: A Revolutionary Life) and read a few books (specifically Guerilla Warfare by Che Guevara) you might understand that the oppressive Batista regime was the dictatorship destroying lives and bowing down to America, not La Revolucion. America is not the whole world, Americans must know.

Again, Socialism can be made compatible with Democracy. A Socialist Democracy is a "FAIR" MARKET instead of a FREE MARKET. And with any freedom you need laws and regulations in order to "keep" that freedom. But this is not possible under Capitalism unless you heavily tax the rich, and that's never going to happen. A free market must be fair! And that is where a Socialist Democracy comes in Property unless for "your person" & businesses should be owned and managed by the people (free state)

Apart from that, the website has ads which help the owner to earn money. So, no, it is not "the real cuba", and it is something made just to make money, your money, the money you give to the owner of the website, the donations.

homohug0 And there is also changing from within; there is Reformation instead of Revolution, changing from the outside by force To reform the system, it takes patience, thinking, and work; it takes freedom of speech, love, and tolerance. On the other hand, Revolution is when you have lost patience, you see no hope of change, and have resorted to the use of force in order to make that change I would think the most effective tool is not the sword, but spreading truth, educating others.

To say that Fidel was an improvemnt to the Batista's governement has no factual support, other than the problem that arose near the end of the Batista reign involving a climbing unemployment rate.... We could argue forever about which government was better, but it doenst really matter. 3. I was only trying to point out how often 'history repeats itself' and how 'Power corrupts all', which is for more or less the true picture Orwell was trying to paint.
