Do you think Fidel Castro is a better leader than Robert Mugabe?

Answer 1

As much as I hate to say it Castro has been the better leader for his country. Mugabe has turned Zimbabwe into an economic disaster to a degree that Castro couldn't even do.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

I visited Cuba last year. (Cuba is a dictatorship under the leadership of Fidel Castro.) My wife and I travelled about a bit. Cuba is not a wealthy country it is true. Cuba has been under a US trade embargo for the last 40 years (including medication) and they seem to be surviving well in spite of it. Cubans do not own their own houses but they get them from the government. I heard lots of nice Cuban music in the bars and resaurants and the people seemed happy - in fact I had the impression that the Cuban staff at the hotel were more chearful than the guests!
I don't know very much about Zimbabwe or Robert Mugabe but from the news the people live in wretched conditions and there is torture and grave human rights issues. It is certainly NOT the sort of country you would want to travel round on your own. Instead of the government giving poeple houses they burn down the houses of their political opponents. I know where I would rather live!

Answer 3

Castro is the much better leader and we have probably been subjected to an awful lot of US propaganda on the subject. Mugabe will also have been subject to propaganda, but if his country had oil, I am sure we would have gone in by now.
This man has slaughtered his opposition (5th brigade in Matabele land) and is now starving the people of a once prosperous and productive land.
I was in South Africa at the time of the hated apartheid and even then I can assure you that I had a number of workers from Zimbabwe who would sooner live under that, than get killed in their homeland.
He is a despot.

Answer 4

Mugabe is a garden variety dictator. Fidel Castro is one of the most inspiring leaders the world has ever seen. There may never again be another leader who can give a 6 hour speech on the ideals of socialism. Despite it's poverty, Cuba has made remarkable achievements.
If only the fascists and neo-con trolls will stop attacking Cuba and look at their own vices.

Answer 5

I would rather live under Castro than Mugabe. I don't like either but the latter is a madman on the loose

Answer 6

Both are undemocratic dictators with questionable human rights records.

Cuba under Castro has publicly funded health care, education and a lower rate of infant mortality than USA. It has a literacy rate of 97%, far and away the highest in the Caribbean.

Zimbabwe under Mugabe is collapsing, and people are starving.

Life under Castro is immeasurably better than life under Mugabe.

Difficult choice but Castro will take it. Mugabe's not a leader hes a common thief and murderer, pity the west are too scared to take him on as they ll be called racist, a word no-one wants to hear.
