[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 739775, member: 17918"] A very nuanced death. He was a hero to some, a villain to others whilst being in between to many. A former colleague did his Masters in Cuba and as a Zimbabwean had a love/hare relationship with Castro's rule. He had studied and done well in his degree, been treated well, but also seen the reality of racism in the system over there. Ultimately, Castro was a divisive figure who (if nothing else) took on the mafia and US hegemony. Did he win? Probably nowhere near, but he at least made them think. The missile crisis was THE defining moment in the Cold War so he was of import. And millions of students still have their Che badges with no idea of who he was and what he stood for (don't get me started on that white privilege cockwomble) [/QUOTE]
