I believe that Fidel Castro should be remembered as both a brutal dictator and a hero to the people. I believe that he should be remembered as a hero to the people because his main focus was to help the poor in Cuba. Although the execution of it could have been better he did make certain aspects of Cuba better. The overall literacy rate in Cuba grew 95 percent. As well as having universal health care. But the bad outweighed the good in Castro’s situation. While Cuba literacy rate improved and everyone had health care citizens of Cuba were oppressed. If anyone would dare talk back to or go against Castro in anyway they would “mysteriously” be killed or found dead the next day. For example in 2003 Castro ordered the arrests of 75 rights activists.
