Castro is up there with the worst of the worst (Hitler, Pol pot, amin, mugabe, chavez, Kim Jong, Stalin, Mao, etc) these individuals resigned to their humanity the moment they decided to step all over their citizen's rights and dignity for their own benefit.

Please stop trying to humanize him.

A yes, one bucket holds all evil, and the bool is the only integer the honest man needs, that's your position I take it?

Sure, executing dissenters is one of the bools. Not sure there is any getting around that.

So if you execute one person, you may as well keep going, because you're already evil and there's no scale?

Executes dissenters

But life inprisonment is okay, right? Asking for a friend (Chelsea Manning).

Or is it just a matter of calling dissenters "traitors" and then it's fine? I'm sure Castro ticked that checkbox before the executions.

That is quiet a jump you made.

Not "all" evil but malicious intent and a complete lack of empathy for the suffering of others.

Interesting that Pinochet wasn't named still here.

I think he's included under "etc"
