US sanctions killed way more people than castro...you can say "castro is to blame" but its really like this, imagine a wife *(cuban people) getting beat by her husband *(castro) and a passer by *(the USA) wants to help the wife by punishing her even more so that she leaves the abusive husband now the husband beats her even more but the USA keeps the sanctions even longer...

this is what sanctions are...this is what caused them to run from cuba...

castro is a hero to me because he comes from a small country that stood up to invaders...batista practically made cuba a serf of america...

I am not pro communist I am not pro capitalist...I am for small people and countries standing up to oppressors in any way possible...castro is a hero to me, not for the people he killed but for who he stood up against...I admire the fuck out of him and I wish other leaders would stand up to invaders as well...
