He is definitely a step better then his US backed predecessor who took bribes from rich Europeans and Americans and allowed his own people to starve on the streets of Havana. I think US policy toward Cuba has been more detrimental to the Cuban people then Castro himself.

Good and bad, he kicked out the Americans companies in the 50s which were plotting on running the business part of Cuba so he had to turn to Russia for help because they don`t have many resources and they screwed him to. So Cuba today is the result of not letting the huge multinational corporations inside to take over the business part of Cuba.

Compared to Cuba before the Revolution, the Cuban people are much better off now.
By the way, Castro never played professional baseball in the US.

Awful. He oppresses his own people and I dont' care what anyone else says about how he "treats them so well". He doesn't let them lea`ve the country and he is blinded by his anti-americansim so much that he keeps his own people in poverty. He endangered the lives of many americans and thinks he was almost assasinated by the US 6 times (you would think the CIA would've killed him the first if htey wanted to).
He has free health care but the quality is as good as a third world nation (obviously)
Death to Fidel Castro
Long live democracy!

Both. The man is an enigma.
By the way Cuba is the "mayo clinic" of the Caribbean. The health care there is hardly third world.

While Castro has been bad for Cuba through an oppressive communist government; it is difficult to say if it would be better if he had failed to defeat Batista.

There seems to be more people trying to get from Cuba to the US than the other way. (and we have almost 30 time the number of people too.)
You can make up your own mind.

I don't know about that. I do know he has bad for the New York Yankees.
A piece of baseball trivia, he was a pitcher in the Yankees organization before he became a dictator.
