Two Latin American dictators. Both have many opponents and some defenders, even today. So... oh, why do these poll threads even need any explanation? Vote, damn you!

I think it'd have to be Pinochet. While Castro has been an authoritarian repressor of human rights and deserves to be condemned by that, he wasn't in to the whole mass death thing like Pinochet was."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

As Shi said, Castro oppresses people, Pinochet kills people. Moreover, Castro believes he is doing something good. He is misguided, IMHO. Pinochet knows that killing people is not a 'good' thing to do.Smile
For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next
But he would think of something

Pinochet was evil. Castro is just misguided.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Pinochet pulled off the world's biggest magic trick: thousands disappeared without a trace!

I agree with Shi.

Pinochet gets my vote for the torture and murder of thousands of young people. Like in Argentina, most of the victiims were idealistic young kids, teenagers, university students.
Such a tragedy, the flower of a generation cut down before they could even make a contribution to their society.
Castro is no angel either but the tragedy there is the US turned on him too early.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

Well, the Castro regime isn't all that peachy that way, either. But of course, comparing to Pinochet, he's a ****ing angel.
He just held an Israeli writer for a couple of years, thinking he was a Mossad spy.
