Regarded by many as one of the most oppressive and authoritarian dictators of his era, Castro's leadership style has warranted comparisons with totalitarian leaders like [[Mao Zedong]], [[Hideki Tojo]], [[Joseph Stalin]], [[Adolf Hitler]], and [[Benito Mussolini]]. His regime jailed and [[torture]]d political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin’s regime during the Great Terror, murdered more Cubans in its first three years in power than [[Nazi Germany]] murdered Germans during its first six and came closest of anyone in history to starting a worldwide Nuclear war. In the above process Fidel Castro converted a nation with a higher per-capita income than half of Europe and a huge influx of immigrants into one that repels Haitians and boasts the highest suicide rate in the Western Hemisphere. | Regarded by many as one of the most oppressive and authoritarian dictators of his era, Castro's leadership style has warranted comparisons with totalitarian leaders like [[Mao Zedong]], [[Hideki Tojo]], [[Joseph Stalin]], [[Adolf Hitler]], and [[Benito Mussolini]].

He was an ardent believer in [[communism]] who was known for his egalitarian beliefs and his hatred of fascism; however, somewhat ironically, his rule was completely indistinguishable from fascism welfare, socialism, and no businesses. His idea was to have the government control all manufacturing. While many believed him to be a hero who was combating conservatism, he actually abused his powers. | He was an ardent believer in [[communism]] who was known for his egalitarian beliefs and his hatred of [[fascism]]; however, somewhat ironically, his rule was completely indistinguishable from fascism welfare, socialism, and no businesses.
