Do you consider me a Castro supporter?

Conservatives accuse me of being a fan of Castro all time, especially on this forum, despite me saying many repeated times that I do not like him. I don't know how hard it is to get through dazzleman's head, but let's see.

In many of your posts you betray a fetish for revolutionary leftist causes.  You have also dispalyed many user names, avatars, jpg's etc which could easily be seen as being simpatico with a Castro-esque regimes.  I could see how someone could mistake your positions.  People tend to organize a persons beliefs into categories and the subtleties of that person's belief are usaully a casualty.

I would've no doubt supported the 26th of July Movement, but that opinion would've changed once Cuba became just like under Batista and Castro betrayed Che. Still I think it's still better than under Batista and that the US needs to quit with the embargo.

Castro is obviously better for most Cubans than the previous regimes, and no doubt better than any US backed regimes that would've prevailed without his revolution.  On the whole I don't see how anyone could completely condemn the man.  I think BRTD has a fairly balanced view of Castro, probably more negative than mine.

Isn't this a question better asked to yourself?

Possibly, but I already know the answer. Dipsh!ts like dazzleman don't get it though.

I largely agree with what opebo said. Castro is better than Batista, but Batista is long dead and no longer relavant. So judging Castro on his regime now, it's hardly positive. Still the US's attitude toward Cuba is rather ridiculous, and it's asinine of all the repressive regimes in the world to simply single this one out.
