Progressives everywhere are mourning the death of Fidel Castro, as Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau observed, Castro "made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation."
Hmm: Hitler created a really great road system, which inspired the U.S. Interstate highway system, His scientists demonstrated that cigarettes cause cancer. He dramatically reduced unemployment, implemented an innovative campaign to reduce population and thus the ecological load on Europe, as well as massive redistribution of wealth (much into governmental coffers), and a very low cost urban renewal program.
See how easy it is to be a progressive?
He also was responsible for the development of the Volkswagen - the "people's car."
ReplyDeleteNow Castro can spend eternity with Fulgencio Batista.
ReplyDeleteHere's a challenge that folks can pose to their Castro-defending friends: name ten freedoms that exist in today's Cuba that did not exist for blacks living under Jim Crow.
