The quality in these profiles is astonishing. The copy is exceptional. The stock photos, OK, but THE INFORMATION (which is what matters) is absolutely critical to the brilliance of this channel. Great job!
This beats the hell out of Netflix's much longer documentary series on Cuba, which lets CIA employees (not behind-the-scenes conspiracy style, I mean right there in front of the camera) tell the story.
This is yet another exceptional documentary from Peoples Profiles! I've listened to one each on George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, and now Fidel Castro thus far. I love the balanced presentations, the near-objectivity (no one can truly be objective) of these films, and the reliable information from them.
@@harkinsh Where the hell did you get that Castro sentence more people to death than Pinochet? What is the source? Your @ss? Pinochet killed more that ten thousand people through his regime, Castro barely condemned one thousand people to death. People were condemned to capital punishment in Cuba only as a last resource if the person in question represents a huge risk to society and political stability.
I would say he could definitely do more. It's very easy to slip in common opinions mistaking them as facts, as he did a few times. However, for a documentary length long video, it's a damn good job.
Amen! I'm right with you. Listen to the one on Batista. It goes along very well with this video on Castro. So funny that one of the middle names of Castro's father was Batista.
Reckoned in isolation, then yes, it is. But consider that when health care becomes free at the same time it diminishes in quality, then both of those factors need to be weighed in the balance. Cuba was a regional, and even a world leader in medicine prior to Castro’s revolution, but Marxism effectively killed that edge, and not only stunted progress, but actually caused some retrogression. Before you say “embargo,” I’ll agree that the embargo has been a factor, but not the only one, and not the major one. Socialism underperforms research-wise as compared to free-markets, and Castro’s version of Marxism has an utterly paltry track record of medical achievement, apart from its single, admirable expansion of access. In short, health care for Cubans now is a larger piece of a much smaller pie than before.
@@cardinalRG Actaully capitalism is by far the inferior system when it comes to research. Under socialism all parties are free to share their work with each other, but under capitalism you have direct competition which demands double ups of research and often even 5 or 10 companies all trying to do the same research. It's pure wasted time and resources and even worse any breakthroughs are quickly patented to prevent anyone further developing those technologies. It's lust for competition makes capitalism by far the most inefficient and outright wasteful style of economy, which rewards artificial scarcity and punishes abundance with poverty. It's why the US has outrageous medical bills and why $3 of insulin can cost hundreds.
@@D64nz --No, friend. You are confusing theory with reality. The profit motive is the single most effective driver of innovation and advancement, and most of the modern miracles that surround you have come at the hands of capitalists, including the computer you’re using to read this. You are also confusing the free-market cost of medical advancements with the reason they exist at all, because they are separate issues. You may not like it, but the truth is that the research and development output of socialist countries is paltry compared to free-market countries.
Despite the dictatorial tendencies that marred the rule of Fidel Castro l still feel that he was a better ruler than Batista. Notable areas of improvement where in education and health care. I should think that dictatorship was the way to go for Cuba with the threat of the USA at its doorstep. If he had tried to be democratic he could have been easily overthrown.
It was U S imperialism which gave birth to communist regime in Cuba .But the fact that Castro ensured basic necessities of health and education to Cubans should be appreciated.
Health? Cubans have to provide their own bedsheets, gowns and even the medicine when they go to the hospital. Only the ruling class (Castro and his henchmen) enjoy quality medical care.
@@gokuetavinaeseria there’s a 60+ year embargo that the US has implemented on Cuba since the revolution. It is ongoing today, there are reasons for things that you purposely overlook. Come back when you read up on actually history.

Several PBS broadcast on the early years after the revolution Castro expressed his desire for normal political relations with the US. He stated he wanted freedom for the Cubans, and open elections and a democratic nation. When he was rebuffed he turned to the Soviet Union . The nation of Cuba could be a heaven on earth if not for the economic sanctions and the embargo., You failed to show how miserable the average Cubans lived before the revolution. Castro was a visionary and would have made great strides if not for the might of the US government. His human rights was no worse than 90% of countries in this world .
This video completely just jumps Castro's long armed struggle to his victory, omitting how he actually beat the Cuban military. So, although there is alot of interesting and useful information in this video, cutting out most of the details of his armed struggle is a bit disappointing.
@@goldito62 --- INNOCENT!? . . . Sure. Figure out that treason is a negative, some how. Try. You can think. Think yourself out of that lie and reconcile that lie with the facts of Communist Cuba and Cuban Communism and Cubans liking their Communist Cuba better than your COLONIAL Cuba.
Fidel Castro, a man to remember and honor. The Cuban doctors worked in Kenya at some point in the second term of the 4th President H.E Uhuru Kenyatta and there was praise for the doctors. One thing I love about Castro, is that he did the unthinkable to protect and safeguard his nation. We should ask the hard question, why the USA and allies still maintain sanctions or embargo on Cuba?
For such a small island nation, Cuba's contributions to the Global south is nothing short of spectacular. While the current apartheid regime was both learning from and aiding South African apartheid, Cuba was helping ANC. I would take Madiba's word for it. RIP Comandante! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@nemesiomercado7948 I think we should have a high standard in judging our world leaders. I can't think much of anything positive about his administration. His economic measures created instability that is still felt today, he lied about his military service to get elected, he was brutal against any opposition. We can forgive mistakes, but it is quite obvious that he was only for self. And when shit hit the fan, did he stay and try to help the people? No, he was granted safe passage to live in Hawaii. Many Filipinos lost their life and land, but it seems his family made out really well. So humbly I say to you, "No, this person does not deserve such a title as 'world's best president'.

@@musicaquecalma4134-- Maybe he had to have those houses, and the bulletproof limo, the CIA tried dozens of times to kill him, and he outlived them all. Anyway he deserves everything he had. look what he did for his people, free healthcare 100% literacy, no drug addicts no homelessness, I saw a woman pushed out of a NY hospital in hospital clothes, because her healthcare had run out, democracy in the USA, is homelessness, kids graduating from high school unable to read, violent gun crimes, evictions, if you are 2 weeks late with the rent. all those trillions the USA is spending on undermining other countries, and stupid drug wars should be better spent ,taking care of the needy. With so little, look what Cuba has done ,while under decades of sanctions which was lifted by Obama, and reinstated by Trump. Long live the memory of Fidel Castro, long live Cuba
@@musicaquecalma4134-- My father and all my uncles were born in Havana Cuba, my mother siblings and I were all born in Jamaica, so we are half and half. We go back and forth with relatives, we live between Europe and Jamaica
I find it interesting that Castro thought Puerto Rico was being prevented from gaining statehood. They've constantly chosen not to become a state. Under their current situation, they get many benefits but without much of the responsibilities that come with statehood. Sounds like Castro was just looking for additional excuses to dislike the US at that point.
You may want to educate yourself more on the conditions of the poorer Cubans who were being exploited by the US based mafia along with all the other US corporations that were courted by a corrupt, greedy, and murderous Batista regime.. Batista took over quarter of a billion dollars which he stole from the country when he left to Don Rep. There is a more in depth documentary on that era in Cuba history also on TH-cam, titled "How Fidel Castro Came to Power - Secrets of War" on the Timeline Documentary channel. This one offers greater insight into the struggles of the country that led to its nationalist political agenda, of which Castro became the most prominent proponent..
Back then it was different! Todays global capitalist economy makes workers compit on a world economy. Beeing part if the us is evidently a plus for the puertorican worker .

Castro was a nationalist patriot who Liberated the Cuban people from an oppressive dictatorial regime. American administration since 1959 acted criminally against Castro and Cupa's people through several coup d'etat attempts as well as by imposing sanctions on Cupa's population to create chaos and famine that will lead to the people revolting but the people did not do that but they protected their country Cupa through to protect revolotion leader Castro and his comrades. the people are aware that without Castro's revolution, Cupa would have been a colony and a big brothel for Americans.
I feel that the US government influenced the developments occurring in Cuba before the Cuban leftist revolution, during and it will continue to excert influence on this island whether is good or bad.
No mention of the 1983 Grenada involvement. I deployed there on 25 October with the 82nd Airborne division as part of Operation URGENT FURY and thousands of Cuban documents were recovered as well as weapons in Cuban registered containers. Several Cuban military personnel were captured and killed in the battle at point Salines airstrip.
Yep the betrayal of Grenada revolution with the murder of Maurice Bishop opened the door for the invasion. It's documented in the Second Assassination of Marcie Bishop.
The biggest mistake the United States made with Cuba was sanctions. As is always the case around the world, America's sanctions only hurt children, mothers, working men and retirees. Sanctions destroy culture and the arts. They do nothing to harm or deter those in power. Cuba's communism would have failed just as it did in Russia if modern appliances, modern cars, iPhones and all of the modern material goods had been allowed for distribution and purchase.
Cuba today could have been the "Monaco" of the Caribbean. A place where all Cubans would have benefited. Instead it is what it is. A country where people would rather risk their life at sea than live in oppression. My family left Cuba in the 60's when Castro declared it a communist state.
sailor 123ize, You're right. I add, Fidel Castro destroyed Cuba and enslaved 11 million Cubans; he deceived the citizens of the world with his easy verb, he deluded everyone inside and outside the country. But, his manipulations and lies have been transmitted without control. Let the world know that Fidel did HURT to Cuba and the Cubans!!!!!
Good grief. It was not a paradise before Castro. It was a deeply corrupt American colony where most Cubans were poor and it was ruled by a one party military dictatorship. How on earth you think that means it would have been the Monaco of anything is beyond me. It would most likely just be like Puerto Rico or The Dominican republic. Little more than an American vassal state where a small elite are rich and well off while most people are poor.
Envidiable health care system? Public hospitals in Cuba are falling apart some without water, beds or other basic necessities. Doctors when they are able to flee the dictatorship face the harsh reality that medical education in Cuba is way behind as they lack the technology needed. You can read on how some of this doctors that defected while working (as slaves) at of some of Latam countries had to go back to school to pass the medical exam needed to homologate their degrees
Meanwhile in the hospitals don’t even have antibiotics, insulin and have to “sanitize” needles from the 90s over and over again to draw blood… el Pueblo Cubano merece mucho mejor
Fidel Castro was a nationalist patriot who did great to his country but who had no choice but to be a bit harsh when it comes to the way he was towards sertain issues because of the unnecessary sanctions and interface of the US gov.
Why are people fanatical? Cuba's history is truly a sad history. Not one Cuban government change has benefited the actual Cuban people since 1959..! The Cuban government has maintained power for over 60 years. They have indoctrinated their own population with forced education of their own views, yet their own population prefers to leave and immigrate to any available country, besides their own..? Please don't comment on this unless you have actually live under this regime. It's obvious that the Cuban people want change. Even the hierarchy of the Cuban Government have defected throughout the decades... Fidel's own family live in the United States. Have you ever even asked yourself, why that is..?
The idiots of the world don't care. They love evil, and hate the privileges they've been given, and use them to show what spoiled ingrates will do with freedom. There's no fixing a rotten soul.
I'm from a heavily Republican family, however Castro has been one of my staunchest heroes since reading an interview he gave Playboy Magazine. His altruistic intentions were always to do everything possible to help the Cuban people,and to have the tenacity to stand up to American imperialism, and our governments over125attemots to assassinate him. No,not perfect, but a brave tenacious patriot to the Cuban people...We are the ones who decided to make enemies 😮
Just came from Cuba, have met a college professor, who teaches for 14 days straight and have 2 days off, then does another 14 days, etc... Makes $29 a month. Exchange rate was 1 USD = 160-170 pesos
People who never lived under regimes like these always romanticize them but never take the plunge to actually live out their Utopian dreams and experience the realities. As for me, I know people that actually survived this regime, be my guest and fulfill your curiosity.
Your contribution was crucial in the movie The Matrix, when Morpheus was explaining the worth of humans in the Matrix. I believe your stage name was "DURACELL"
@@goldito62the world romanticizes stories like these, because the world inherently understands the inherent contradictions in capitalism, it’s not like we don’t know these guys did evil things, but no resistance is perfect right? Besides capitalisms kill count throughout world history is far higher than that of communism
English: castro, another dictator of history, no different than mao or stalin, people with a bad soul... castro for example was a thug in his youth in the province of Oriente, and leashed on to communism as a way to gain power... result? cuba ended up in one of the worse dictatorships on the planet... I am glad I escaped. I was 15 years old during the 1980 Mariel Boatlift Cuban American escapee here, was a Pionero (communist youth) in the Cuban communist school system... I remember it all, and will never forget... Castellano: castro, otro dictador de la historia, no diferente a mao o stalin, gente con el alma mala ... castro por ejemplo fue un matón en su juventud en la provincia de Oriente, y se aferró al comunismo como una forma de ganar poder ... resultado? Cuba terminó en una de las peores dictaduras del planeta ... Me alegro de haberme escapado. Yo tenía 15 años durante el Mariel Boatlift de 1980 aquí, fui un Pionero (juventud comunista) en el sistema escolar comunista cubano ... Lo recuerdo todo, y nunca lo olvidaré ...
Peoples Profiles is really great. Maybe more authentic images rather than stock would be good. For example in this on, instead of a stock shark tank, show images of where Fidel was actually swimming through.
Without any doubt the legacy of Castro as a conductor of the Cuban regime for almost half of a century was and still is the Educational System as well as Health Care development trough the same period on the other hand the lack of liberty or the development of a real democracy has allow Cuban Regine to fulfill Peter Principle of competence therefore the new generations of leaders will have the challenge to add to the educational and health system the technological and productive business aspects as is happening with the country of Vietnam now a days an emerging Asian tiger of technology in the third decade of the 21 first century.
The praise for the Cuban healthcare system is far from the actual reality for the Cubans. The are shortages in everything including medications. However blaming the US so called embargo for all the hardships in Cuba is a simplistic and naive view of the failures of the Cuban revolution.
Correction, it was not successful due to the United States intervention, Cuban rebel army had almost won when the Americans blew up the Maine and thus taking control of the island, it was a war of opportunism, which lead to many unpopular governments placed by the United States.
While I know it's a small part in the history, I wish you would have spoken about Camilo Cienfuegos. This guy was a real hero, and would have made a better president than Fidel. Fidel was a monster and I wish he wouldn't have killed Cienfuegos.
@@onlinetoughguy7530The word dictator is an inherently negative word. You saying he was one of the greatest dictators is like saying he was one of the greatest murderers, that’s nothing to be proud of.

Mauricio, What a pity people living outside of Cuba give themselves to the task of repeating the words and ideas of a government that has been blaming "another" for its destruction and mismanagement for 60 years! Open your eyes! Please, do not repeat that the blockade is to blame for everything that happens in Cuba, NOO! In Cuba there is a blockade yes, but from the government itself to its people. Didn't they know!? It is the most logical, because from minute one, when Fidel Castro took power 63 years ago, he took on the task of confiscating: newspapers, magazines, television channels, radio stations, ministries and sectors of communications, culture, of education, of cinema, of the book... What came out, and comes out, of Cuba? Only praise and long live Fidel, "his" Revolution, the Communist Party and as many things as they need to strengthen in their favor to move international opinion to their side. On the contrary, what have they done to hide that they destroyed Cuba and that it is a war zone? Simple, with all the poison, manipulations and lies, they took on the task of looking for a credible enemy, to blame him for the collapse and destruction of a country that, when they took it, was one of the best economies in Latin America and of the world (look for information, please). Cuba has been and is, in the hands of criminals who have sucked its wealth to live as big capitalists, do millionaire deals with other nations, and subjugate the people through indoctrination, fear, abuse... and hunger, needs and misery as weapons of social control.

For such a small island nation, Cuba's contributions to the Global south is nothing short of spectacular. While the current apartheid regime was both learning from and aiding South African apartheid, Cuba was helping ANC. I would take Madiba's word for it. RIP Comandante! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Can you do a feature video about President Ferdinand E. Marcos of the Philippines
Yes and the title the best president in the world
@@nemesiomercado7948 I hope for the sake of human decency that this was a joke.
@@masterartform what why?
@@nemesiomercado7948 I think we should have a high standard in judging our world leaders. I can't think much of anything positive about his administration. His economic measures created instability that is still felt today, he lied about his military service to get elected, he was brutal against any opposition. We can forgive mistakes, but it is quite obvious that he was only for self. And when shit hit the fan, did he stay and try to help the people? No, he was granted safe passage to live in Hawaii. Many Filipinos lost their life and land, but it seems his family made out really well. So humbly I say to you, "No, this person does not deserve such a title as 'world's best president'.
@@masterartform no it's just a propaganda Marcos was a true hero if he not declared martial law the Philippine was under the Communist regime
Awesome channel!
I’m a HUGE fan of your channel but I have one tiny complaint. I’ve lived in Texas my whole life and have been around Latin people to know that a double L ALWAYS sounds like a Y.
While that's true for those of Mexican descent, it may not be in Cuban communities. It's quite fascinating!
that depends on the accent of the person speaking.
@@marie_h1104no, doble L still sounds “like” Y for Cubans. No other Hispanic countries use double L like in English this is an absolute rule of the language unless the Argentinians and Chileans for example. Which mention Doble L and Y like Ch or Sh
@@rafaelrodriguez8028closer to a "YJ" sound tbh. In mainland Spain anyway.
Non Spanish speakers pronouncing it as a Y won't be a problem though.
@@lucas07700
No. It doesn't.

I would say, a scoundrel, hypocrite, self-centered, liar and manipulator; but intelligent enough to live off the hardships of a country, and as a great capitalist; while he forced his people to live in the misery that communism gives.
@@musicaquecalma4134-- Maybe he had to have those houses, and the bulletproof limo, the CIA tried dozens of times to kill him, and he outlived them all. Anyway he deserves everything he had. look what he did for his people, free healthcare 100% literacy, no drug addicts no homelessness, I saw a woman pushed out of a NY hospital in hospital clothes, because her healthcare had run out, democracy in the USA, is homelessness, kids graduating from high school unable to read, violent gun crimes, evictions, if you are 2 weeks late with the rent. all those trillions the USA is spending on undermining other countries, and stupid drug wars should be better spent ,taking care of the needy. With so little, look what Cuba has done ,while under decades of sanctions which was lifted by Obama, and reinstated by Trump. Long live the memory of Fidel Castro, long live Cuba
@@deidradahl2802 You are Cuban? And if you are, do you now live in Cuba?
@@musicaquecalma4134-- My father and all my uncles were born in Havana Cuba, my mother siblings and I were all born in Jamaica, so we are half and half. We go back and forth with relatives, we live between Europe and Jamaica
Isn't that a keffiyeh I see between 14.47 and 15.01? :)
I find it interesting that Castro thought Puerto Rico was being prevented from gaining statehood. They've constantly chosen not to become a state. Under their current situation, they get many benefits but without much of the responsibilities that come with statehood. Sounds like Castro was just looking for additional excuses to dislike the US at that point.
You may want to educate yourself more on the conditions of the poorer Cubans who were being exploited by the US based mafia along with all the other US corporations that were courted by a corrupt, greedy, and murderous Batista regime.. Batista took over quarter of a billion dollars which he stole from the country when he left to Don Rep.
There is a more in depth documentary on that era in Cuba history also on TH-cam, titled "How Fidel Castro Came to Power - Secrets of War" on the Timeline Documentary channel. This one offers greater insight into the struggles of the country that led to its nationalist political agenda, of which Castro became the most prominent proponent..
Back then it was different! Todays global capitalist economy makes workers compit on a world economy. Beeing part if the us is evidently a plus for the puertorican worker .
Dont make it sound so glamorous, he was right, the place might as well be called a U.S. colony
What benefits? They have to pay to study and pay health insurance. Assimilated not to want independence

Castro was a nationalist patriot who Liberated the Cuban people from an oppressive dictatorial regime. American administration since 1959 acted criminally against Castro and Cupa's people through several coup d'etat attempts as well as by imposing sanctions on Cupa's population to create chaos and famine that will lead to the people revolting but the people did not do that but they protected their country Cupa through to protect revolotion leader Castro and his comrades. the people are aware that without Castro's revolution, Cupa would have been a colony and a big brothel for Americans.
He was nothing more than a political Mafioso.
I feel that the US government influenced the developments occurring in Cuba before the Cuban leftist revolution, during and it will continue to excert influence on this island whether is good or bad.
No mention of the 1983 Grenada involvement. I deployed there on 25 October with the 82nd Airborne division as part of Operation URGENT FURY and thousands of Cuban documents were recovered as well as weapons in Cuban registered containers. Several Cuban military personnel were captured and killed in the battle at point Salines airstrip.
Yep the betrayal of Grenada revolution with the murder of Maurice Bishop opened the door for the invasion. It's documented in the Second Assassination of Marcie Bishop.
How can someone be positive about a monster like Castro ?
All dictators are equal. Some are just more dictatorial than others.
Bro what about Napoleon Bonaparte
We will cover his life in an extra long, super detailed, multi part series...not yet though.
Free education (educates some fine doctors), free health care, helped in liberation of Souther Africa. Castro will never be forgotten
He's rotting in hell
@SuperJasondennis Hell is for those who did evil deeds, for those remembered for doing good, there is a place called paradise
The biggest mistake the United States made with Cuba was sanctions. As is always the case around the world, America's sanctions only hurt children, mothers, working men and retirees. Sanctions destroy culture and the arts. They do nothing to harm or deter those in power.
Cuba's communism would have failed just as it did in Russia if modern appliances, modern cars, iPhones and all of the modern material goods had been allowed for distribution and purchase.
Are you ever been in Cuba? You don't know what you talking, it's the stupidest thing I ever hear!
@@zonko0488 yea and he ain't there
Awesome work thanks.
Stupid
He was another dictator. Power is highly intoxicating.
In order to keep power one may sacrifice everything and anything just to be in power
Cuba today could have been the "Monaco" of the Caribbean. A place where all Cubans would have benefited. Instead it is what it is. A country where people would rather risk their life at sea than live in oppression. My family left Cuba in the 60's when Castro declared it a communist state.
sailor 123ize, You're right.
I add, Fidel Castro destroyed Cuba and enslaved 11 million Cubans; he deceived the citizens of the world with his easy verb, he deluded everyone inside and outside the country.
But, his manipulations and lies have been transmitted without control. Let the world know that Fidel did HURT to Cuba and the Cubans!!!!!
Cuba would be even more hardcore capitalist then US with lesser rules. Yes with higher GDP a slim portion of wealthy and mass of really poor...
Oh,. My,.
Lol Monaco’s a place where the average joe thrives. The best they could hope for in that scenario is be wage slaves to the ultra rich
Good grief. It was not a paradise before Castro. It was a deeply corrupt American colony where most Cubans were poor and it was ruled by a one party military dictatorship. How on earth you think that means it would have been the Monaco of anything is beyond me. It would most likely just be like Puerto Rico or The Dominican republic. Little more than an American vassal state where a small elite are rich and well off while most people are poor.
11:20 she looks like a female version of Pablo Escobar 🤣🤣
Envidiable health care system? Public hospitals in Cuba are falling apart some without water, beds or other basic necessities. Doctors when they are able to flee the dictatorship face the harsh reality that medical education in Cuba is way behind as they lack the technology needed. You can read on how some of this doctors that defected while working (as slaves) at of some of Latam countries had to go back to school to pass the medical exam needed to homologate their degrees
Meanwhile in the hospitals don’t even have antibiotics, insulin and have to “sanitize” needles from the 90s over and over again to draw blood… el Pueblo Cubano merece mucho mejor
The best in the world. Namely ophtalmology. I was treated there myself coming from Europe
Yeah,thanks to the us and world bank Embargo.
Fidel Castro was a nationalist patriot who did great to his country but who had no choice but to be a bit harsh when it comes to the way he was towards sertain issues because of the unnecessary sanctions and interface of the US gov.
Why are people fanatical? Cuba's history is truly a sad history. Not one Cuban government change has benefited the actual Cuban people since 1959..! The Cuban government has maintained power for over 60 years. They have indoctrinated their own population with forced education of their own views, yet their own population prefers to leave and immigrate to any available country, besides their own..? Please don't comment on this unless you have actually live under this regime. It's obvious that the Cuban people want change. Even the hierarchy of the Cuban Government have defected throughout the decades... Fidel's own family live in the United States. Have you ever even asked yourself, why that is..?
The idiots of the world don't care. They love evil, and hate the privileges they've been given, and use them to show what spoiled ingrates will do with freedom. There's no fixing a rotten soul.
Because America must stay out of other countries business! As South Africans, we also want our Diamonds from Charles!
RIP El Commandante
I'm from a heavily Republican family, however Castro has been one of my staunchest heroes since reading an interview he gave Playboy Magazine. His altruistic intentions were always to do everything possible to help the Cuban people,and to have the tenacity to stand up to American imperialism, and our governments over125attemots to assassinate him. No,not perfect, but a brave tenacious patriot to the Cuban people...We are the ones who decided to make enemies 😮

Four uploads this week, including a 1 hour 40 minute Christmas special on England's Greatest King.

The average minimum wage in Cuba comes to around $87 (2,100 Cuban pesos) per month for a 44-hour workweek, although its rate varies by occupation.
Just came from Cuba, have met a college professor, who teaches for 14 days straight and have 2 days off, then does another 14 days, etc...
Makes $29 a month.
Exchange rate was 1 USD = 160-170 pesos
And yet they pay $10K for a Lada. The hidden economy is huge in Cuba.
Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight: "You either die a HERO. Or you live long enough to see yourself become the VILLAIN.
Why don't you make a report on Western dictators and war criminals like Winston Churchill??
we thank Castro for his gallantness. against all odds he stil made Cuba, we draw enormous inspiration from him
People who never lived under regimes like these always romanticize them but never take the plunge to actually live out their Utopian dreams and experience the realities. As for me, I know people that actually survived this regime, be my guest and fulfill your curiosity.
Fidel Castro didn't make Cuba, he destroyed it, I invite every body that admire Fidel Castro, to go and visit the island and see for yourself.

Had ro come watch this again since the 3 world dragons are breathing fire and Cuba is smack in the mix again.
Traducelo al español y poder dar un comentario al respecto.

castro, another dictator of history, no different than mao or stalin, people with a bad soul... castro for example was a thug in his youth in the province of Oriente, and leashed on to communism as a way to gain power... result? cuba ended up in one of the worse dictatorships on the planet... I am glad I escaped. I was 15 years old during the 1980 Mariel Boatlift Cuban American escapee here, was a Pionero (communist youth) in the Cuban communist school system... I remember it all, and will never forget...

Peoples Profiles is really great. Maybe more authentic images rather than stock would be good. For example in this on, instead of a stock shark tank, show images of where Fidel was actually swimming through.
No mention of Fidel's lovechild, Justin Trudeau?
One of your best. Thankyou for your awesome content.
One of the best pawns of the superbankerjewishiluminati💩 in carrying out their plan of impoverish the oppressed gentile nations.🤔
Without any doubt the legacy of Castro as a conductor of the Cuban regime for almost half of a century was and still is the Educational System as well as Health Care development trough the same period on the other hand the lack of liberty or the development of a real democracy has allow Cuban Regine to fulfill Peter Principle of competence therefore the new generations of leaders will have the challenge to add to the educational and health system the technological and productive business aspects as is happening with the country of Vietnam now a days an emerging Asian tiger of technology in the third decade of the 21 first century.

The praise for the Cuban healthcare system is far from the actual reality for the Cubans. The are shortages in everything including medications. However blaming the US so called embargo for all the hardships in Cuba is a simplistic and naive view of the failures of the Cuban revolution.
It's all embargo's fault

I love Cuban history, excellent job on this biography.
Clearly you do not know anything about the history of Cuba.
@@eduardoperezverdecia3961 you can watch those movies and realise yourself, make your own research... VPO.. TY!
Correction, it was not successful due to the United States intervention, Cuban rebel army had almost won when the Americans blew up the Maine and thus taking control of the island, it was a war of opportunism, which lead to many unpopular governments placed by the United States.
While I know it's a small part in the history, I wish you would have spoken about Camilo Cienfuegos. This guy was a real hero, and would have made a better president than Fidel. Fidel was a monster and I wish he wouldn't have killed Cienfuegos.
Fidel Castro is one of the famous dictators of all time and for good reason he was a great leader great strategist and a good man will be missed
@@onlinetoughguy7530The word dictator is an inherently negative word. You saying he was one of the greatest dictators is like saying he was one of the greatest murderers, that’s nothing to be proud of.

Mauricio, What a pity people living outside of Cuba give themselves to the task of repeating the words and ideas of a government that has been blaming "another" for its destruction and mismanagement for 60 years!
Open your eyes! Please, do not repeat that the blockade is to blame for everything that happens in Cuba, NOO!
In Cuba there is a blockade yes, but from the government itself to its people.
Didn't they know!? It is the most logical, because from minute one, when Fidel Castro took power 63 years ago, he took on the task of confiscating: newspapers, magazines, television channels, radio stations, ministries and sectors of communications, culture, of education, of cinema, of the book... What came out, and comes out, of Cuba? Only praise and long live Fidel, "his" Revolution, the Communist Party and as many things as they need to strengthen in their favor to move international opinion to their side.
On the contrary, what have they done to hide that they destroyed Cuba and that it is a war zone? Simple, with all the poison, manipulations and lies, they took on the task of looking for a credible enemy, to blame him for the collapse and destruction of a country that, when they took it, was one of the best economies in Latin America and of the world (look for information, please).
Cuba has been and is, in the hands of criminals who have sucked its wealth to live as big capitalists, do millionaire deals with other nations, and subjugate the people through indoctrination, fear, abuse... and hunger, needs and misery as weapons of social control.
