The Many Accomplishments of Fidel Castro

One of the modern world's most heinous dictators died this past weekend.  It is fitting that his most remarkable achievements be chronicled.

Castro's brutal regime seized all property for himself and his allies, outlawed private enterprise and crushed his county's middle class impoverishing most of the population in the process.

The state controlled and censored all manner of communication and expression, religion was squelched, homosexuals persecuted and education was supplanted with indoctrination.

Thousands of innocent Cuban citizens were forced into exile with many perishing at sea in makeshift watercraft.

Cuba evolved into a caste society where millions of foreign visitors enjoyed indulgences denied his own people.

Castro personally engaged in and abetted extrajudicial killings and torture of his enemies.

A ruthless and pitiless dictator Fidel was.  Amazing that some will be singing his praises in the days to come.
