Much respect to the Cubans and Fidel Castro. The only nation on earth that actually sent troops to help the Africans kick out the European invaders.
It isn't much of a surprise that he was demonized for his bravery for the rest of his life by the west. Cubans are still suffering till today because their leader actually valued the life of Africans.
It makes you think, doesn't it?
I don't know if you know this, but the only reason he and the soviets sent soldiers and equipment to Africa was to gain control over it and turn it into part of the soviet regime. The South Africans, or European invaders as you call us did not wish for communism to spread to the southern parts of Africa and thus fought to keep it out.
There's another train of thought that says perhaps it is up to Africans to figure out which systems they prefer...
