Why do so many romanticize Fidel Castro, one of the most ruthless communist dictators of the 20th century? He imprisoned an entire nation, destroyed Cuba’s economy, and brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Yet, progressives continue to revere him. Why? Paul Kengor, Professor of Political Science at Grove City College, uncovers the truth about Castro’s legacy.

This video was made possible through a generous donation from the Robert W. Plaster Foundation, part of the Robert W. Plaster Foundation Playlist: Free Enterprise Will Set You Free, which educates Americans on the virtues of our nation's founding principles and the consequences of straying from them.
