OH there's more... Bernie actually publicly praises multiple communist countries and had a honeymoon in the Soviet Union.
Oh cool. So you think this is a black and white question? I asked which one do you think has more problems? You can support capitalism but say it has more problems. You can support communism and think it has more problems than capitalism. So let me ask you again. Which do you think has more problems? Just your opinion...
Not that they aren't perfect? LOL Let's see here https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080213000914AAWUvrH What atrocities has Fidel Castro committed? Fidel Castro's regime is guilty of numerous documentable crimes stretching from the jungles of Peru to the deserts of Ethiopia. Castro funded terrorist "guerrilla" groups throughout the hemisphere generating terror and fear for decades. At home Castro's regime has created the most repressive police state apparatus in the Western Hemisphere. Cuba is an Orwellian nightmare set in the tropics with Big Brother sporting a beard and cigar. Cuba has refused to ratify any major international law enshrining fundamental human rights. It has refused to sign the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Castro formed Committees for the Defense of the Revolution(CDR) which operate on almost every block in Cuba. Spying on neighbors and reporting back to the regime. Negative reports can land one in jail. Large numbers of individuals are incarcerated in Castro's prisons for political crimes ranging from speaking against the regime to trying to leave the island. Trying to leave Cuba without government sanction is a criminal offense punishable by prison. Due to this Cubans are unable to build larger more seaworthy crafts, and resort to innertubes, and in some cases fiberglass cannisters in search of freedom. The Castro regime's response to the AIDS crisis has been mandatory nation-wide testing with forced incarceration for anyone who tested positive for the HIV virus. In addition, Castro has had a long tradition of imprisoning homosexuals and transexuals as "undesirables." Imprisonment is often based on mere suspicion and rumor. Recently it was reported that young people in Cuba are purposely "shooting up" with HIV infected blood so that they can go to these camps to avoid forced labor. Castro's achievements bear mentioning and we shall list them here. First, his regime has had the longest serving political prisoner in world history: over 28 years. Cuba, in 1959 was economically self sufficient, and did not have the tourist-Apartheid of today. Tourist-Apartheid is the situation in which Cuban citizens don't have equal access to certain beaches or restaurants that Tourists do. In forty years Fidel Castro took an island with pre-existing progressive healthcare and drove it into the ground. In 1959 Cuba had 337 hospitals in 1989 the number had decreased to 264. Disease in Cuba has steadily increased since 1959. Suicides in Cuba more than doubled from a 1,011 figure for 1970 to 2,220 in 1989.
Do you really not understand what he's saying or are you just being obtuse on purpose? He said Castro and Cuba are certainly not perfect, but to expect an uprising from the Cuban people was a mistake because not all Cubans shared Reagan's opinion of Castro.
No, I was saying it was not a black and white question. I don't think I'm really a huge fan of either team. Well, Trump is a capitalist, so that pretty much settles it. Capitalism has the single biggest problem. barfo
He's not perfect is putting it mildly. Kinda like you are defending his communistic support. Remember he had his honeymoon in the Soviet Union as well. Anyone that thinks he doesn't lean communist has blinders on.
Ha! Amazing! But then, if you asked the usually suspects on this board, they would most likely answer the same. Hillary, Sharia? You bet!
