@ZEITGEISTism Batista was funded by the usa, no i wasnt alive, my parents were.

R15 Uruguay:

You're true, my friend. I'm a web developer, and the cost to keep the site online, is only 15 dollars a year. And the owner asks for donations. 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.

Peter van Kan:

@ZEITGEISTism
Tell that to the countless people that died or were in jail for speaking their mind.

TechnoDeathKorpz:

Got to leave! It doesn't make sense to play with babies in denial

Raquel Rodriguez:

haha thnx

Julio Menache:

Also, when you look at this video, you see that Castro is promising democracy for Cuba. He also asserted many times he was NOT a communist, another lie. You have a problem with the inequality created by capitalism, but Cuba is hardly created a socialist paradise. Castro has opened up the island to foreign investors and hotels, which treat Cubans like second class citizens. Hardly a people's revolution, wouldn't you say?

Dealiyo:

he sure loves Canada

Javakris:

@vampirodrako I know Cuba has a rich culture, great music and perhaps one of the most interesting histories in the world. That's why I'm happy to be a Canadian who can freely travel there. And I think the US embargo's on Cuba were unfair and stupid. But you can not blame a people for their governments mistakes.

zobielamouche1:

fidel castro recently admitted having made mistakes and then took sides with israel. it would have made more sense the other way round.

ryanbinrichard:

@HawkLeader12 no, he doesn't. Black Ops was banned in Cuba because in the game you assassinate Castro's double.

Rx-Creations:

Shut up..VIVA FIDEL Y CHAVEZ... EVO MORALES

BladeRunner:

Liam Neeson should play Castro in his biopic

Radu Debu:

Liam Neeson

Perlita Habanera:

Yes, Castro we all know that there's a lot of 'very nice people' in the world, but you're not one of them.

Jeffrey Pell:

He spoke good English

Ludd Zarko:

The usual lies

Álvaro Obregón:

My father and Fidel Castro were born in the same town He doesn’t seem like a bad guy I guess he got stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Christine Donley:

he's hott

Matt MacLean:

Castro speaks fluent english but now refuses to speak what he calls the language of his enemies

Matt MacLean:

Castro speaks fluent english but now refuses to speak what he calls the language of his enemies

Jerry V:

Fidel Castro was an a Soviet agent since he was just 17 ..in 1943.....so he was communist long ago ..1958

NewBornpt:

Romulo Monteiro:

FIDEL CASTRO O GRANDE ASSESSINO DE LAS AMERICAS...

Carlos Vicente Guerra Guevara:

Marico triste chico...,

hellom12345:

@DJEnvyOfficial oh yes it was so great under batista when the aristocracy and american companies controlled cuba, when all income was in the form of weapons to keep the people down and the batista dictatorship going and when the peasants were nothing more than slaves who couldn't read or write and who were left to die when suffering from curable illnesses because all the doctors were reserved for the rich in havanna and all the teachers kept for the rich children your right it was better then.

NewBornpt:

@andresbasketxiclana Hy. can you tell me more about that. Im interested in knowing a little more about that if you dont mind :) ...

deborahmoses:

i hope for another revolution come bak fidel and che

balancedaustralia:

He was smart at first but the gray material in his brain rapidly turned to brown, and rotten as time passed by.

67emeka:

Is it really Castro's voice? Does he speak English

Leomis Barrios:

He looks young but his voice is creepy...

Elizabeth Hiden:

Wonder why Castro stopped speaking English as he aged???

MartenThuren:

South Vietnam was invaded by North Vietnam, the US decided to help the south side, just like they would help South Korea today.
Capitalism is just free market basically, it can be combined with fascism like in Chile of course, but that doesn't put any blood on Capitalisms hands.
Communist countries like the Soviet Union, China and Cuba has killed hundreds of millions of people.

NewBornpt:

@andresbasketxiclana Ive been searching info about it.... google, youtube, and blogs... I find it very nce too :) ...

Turd Nugget:

I thought this guy was a made up character from black ops 1

freedomisntpolitical:

at 1.30 in the video, look at the way he says company. Whatever about Castro now, that man really didn't like the idea of big companies or corporations... I do agree there

ondro84gmail:

PearlJammer07:

This guy is just sick.

XshaunixX:

He reminds me of Liam Neeson.

TheAzov:

If "the exiles in Miami already knew he was full of shit" he wouldn't have been in power and they wouldn't be exiles. His "voice changed" only because he'd been making marathon speeches.
