Summary

Why do so many still romanticize Fidel Castro, one of the deadliest communist dictators of the 20th century? In this PragerU 5-Minute Video, Paul Kengor, Professor of Political Science at Grove City College, exposes the brutal truth about Castro’s legacy. From political imprisonment and economic collapse to bringing the world to the edge of nuclear war, Castro left Cuba in ruins. Yet many progressives continue to praise him. Discover the dangerous myths surrounding Fidel Castro and the reality of life under his regime. This video was made possible through a generous donation from the Robert W. Plaster Foundation, part of the Robert W. Plaster Foundation Playlist: Free Enterprise Will Set You Free, which educates Americans on the virtues of our nation's founding principles and the consequences of straying from them. These videos are part of a series. Click here to watch the entire Hall of Evil series.
