Why are people getting all bent out of shape over Castro dying?

23. Few, if any of the "anticommunists" wanted a decent, progressive future for the world.

Few wanted the poor to have any hope, or for the imbalances in wealth to be corrected. Many supported indecent systems like apartheid.

And in the name of "anticommunism", democratic states we had no right to attack...Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Honduras under Zelaya-were targeted and replaced with regimes that brought nothing but misery. And we looked the other way while Spain was chained under Franco for thirty-six years(during most of which we sold the p;d bastard weaponry to oppress his own people with).

If we wanted to fight "communism",WE should have been the ones helping to liberate the world's poor from oppression and exploitation, so that the "communists" couldn't offer them anything . Instead, all we did was to further repress them and force them to choose between going "red" and having no hope at all.
