"I think Castro and the rovolution actually did a lot of good things for Cuba, but maybe it's time to move on"
Let me guess what good he did.. torture? murder? work camps? slavery? lack of free speech? lack of personal freedom? generations living in poverty? lack of education (I know opinions on education vary)? castrated internet? (few can afford a computer there anyway).
Those are of course just sarcastic rhetorical questions of mine.What Castro did achieve, was to preserve the myth of socialismo among well fed westerners and poor South America. Healthcare is surprisingly good there (as it is meant as a show-off for the rest of the world), but at what price? Any country could have that if it turned all its citizens into slaves.
Those of course are just my opinions..As for different moods in various flavours of communism, Cubans are children of the sun, they enjoy life no matter what the obstacles are. My Cuban friend once told to me that even when Cuba had poverty unknown to Poland, they never were as sad as a bus of Poles on a Monday morning :))))
