    Is Jezebel an extreme right wing site now? Fidel is admired in most of the world.

      Like a popular leader doing his best for his country under difficult circumstances. And being instrumental in defeating apartheid. And fighting against corporate dominance of Latin America. And promoting universal literacy, universal health care, and women’s equality.

    This is a deeply uninformed asshole post, Khloe completely aside. Right-wingers in this country call Castro a dictator, but have you asked a Cuban?

    Kept Cubans in misery? How many Cubans do you know? Do you think all cubans have that opinion of Castro? How much do you think the US embargo against Cuba had to do with misery? How much of that was really castro’s fault, and how much was the fault of the US who funded supervised an invasion of cuba? How much do you think about your posts before you make them?

      Seriously! Have you been to Cuba Madeline? Lived there? Know any Cubans? You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and as an actual Cuban the only thing that offends me about this photo is the lighting

    Maybe being born of and then raised by Kris Kardashian really shifts a person’s perspective about dictators in general.

      Some of the Kardashians have more excuses than others. Kylie and Kendall’s homeschooling makes Trump University look like Oxford, bless their hearts.

      Is that how she's spun? They're all plain, IMO. I don't understand the fascination with these off-white girls but hey, such is entertainment. I, for example, live for Cardi B. and some of my friends look down their nose at me for it.

    While I do think the Kardashians are the putrid fruit of our current society, this doesn’t offend me as much as Nicki Minaj taking $2 mil to perform for the corrupt Angola president.

      More than a few folks showing up out of the blue to praise Castro and attack folks criticizing the long-standing dictator (who turned over power to his brother, now another dictator). Considering that Russia has a whole bunch of patriotic trolls who run around spamming sites with pro-Russia propaganda, makes me wonder if Cuba’s got something similar.

        Yes. Cuba pays me to write positive comments on the internet. Mostly in Havana Club, but it’s better than nothing.

      Holy cow I’m seeing a ton of apologies going on for a Communist dictator.

      What’s next a Mao, Stalin and Kim Jung Un fan club?

      Castro may be that best of a bad lot but I won't be crying when he kicks off.

        Neither will most of us, we just don’t think he’s do horrible that we should slam that idiot for getting a picture taken next to his name. The sins of the dictator are not visited on the tourist.

        I think we can make a better comparison without using one of those guys since they’re fairly extreme: Putin.

        Putin is generally beloved by his own people. Has many very strong allies/supporters around the world. And, in practice, is a monstrous fucking dictator.
