Fidel Castro has died. Beloved and despised. A symbol of resistance against western imperialist oppression and labeled an oppressor himself

I was born in Cuba and Fidel Castro was our leader. Came to the USA because of him.

Comedy Central's 1973 Roast of Fidel Castro is still one of my favorites.

I'm not Cuban I can't speak for Cubans. But when I went to Cuba, virtually everyone that I met there loved Castro. https://t.co/Hy1Tiy9Mju
