Its sad when post and movies like this portray Castro as nice guy and when Hollywood elites make movies portraying communist, or socialist leaders as good guys. Remember he is a Communist. But then again the people who posted positive reviews about Cuba and Castro are probably a Communist themselves. Yes, we live in a democracy in good old USA and with democracy there will be side effects such as crime, prostitution, etc. Just like a prescription drug to help us get better. Side effect can be anything, headaches, vomit, etc but one takes the drug to fight the infection or disease, the person will get healed over time using the prescribed drug. This analogy can be similar to Democracy. Yes, there are side effect in our society, however it is the best govt system to live under. The United States would not have been a super power if it weren't for a democratic free society under our great constitution. Now, lets look at Cuba. Has it's Communist government advance the country- No, Technology? NO, it copies from our nation and many others. Does Cuba give personal freedoms to their people that our US constitution gives us. The Right to free speech> Can they openly criticized Castro and not get punished? Can the people of Cuba vote their leader out of office on next election? Can the people throw out the leader if the leader turns on its people when that leader feels he will lose his or her power of the govt? NO. Remember Communist is about control over its people and the freedoms of their people. What gets me is the very freedoms and democratic system that we have in our country. The Hollywood stars enjoy our freedoms of our great country. They have the freedom to make any movies and make a lot of many, yet most of the Hollywood stars end up turning against our country USA, our way of government and they end up supporting Socialist and Communist leaders of other countries such as Chavez and Castro who if these Hollywood stars had lived initially in those communist Socialist countries would have never made it as entertainment stars in motion picture and certainly would not have made the money they make now! Wow, Is the USA great! Land of opportunity. Our country USA, governed by 3 branches of Govnt and not by one man who would rule for as long as he lives with no chance of its people to oust him if the wanted too? Can the people of Cuba leave their country freely to any country they choose to? NO. Communist Govt would not allow them unless they are the cronies of their govt Communist heads. Why don't some of the people here in the USA who are communist supporters and sympathizer who are in support of the Socialist and Communist countries and its leaders leave our country freely and go live happily in those Communist countries that they so admire. Its because they really know that they would lose the very freedoms that they have in our great county- USA! Just a note, I am an Hispanic not a Cuban, born in USA and proud to be an American.
