People create the humanitarian side!......given the correct environment. Some thing which are beneficial will be encouraged, some things which are not will be discouraged.

Fidel Castro was encouraging a socialist state and socialist mindset in Cuba......against all the odds.....but it takes a fist of steel, and an inspirational leader.

No "liberal" liked what Fidel did, they screamed and shouted about all the minutia, but the state still exists, with a good education and health service, the lowest HIV figures in the world... and will until the corporate capitalists get their foot back in the door.

Fidel is old and frail, but he still doesn't trust US politicians.
