Hated or Loved, Castro’s Consequential Legacy Part of History
![]() |
Fidel Castro |
Fidel Castro died on Friday.
To me, Castro was a tyrant. He was a dictator. He held his country and his people back, and he had an unending hatred for what we would call democracy. To exiled Cuban refugees and their families, Castro was like Satan.
That Castro was the fiery revolutionary who could captivate or alienate an audience. That Fidel Castro seemed too mean to ever die.
One of the most consequential people of his time, Fidel Castro is gone at 90 years old. In death, as in life, he leaves many with much to think about and many emotions to experience.
