Pener Kropoopkin posted:ITT people have argued that Cuba is worth defending because of its revolutionary literacy programs, socialized healthcare, education system, food security, labor rights, emergency response system, and so on. All of which are accomplishments which exceed conditions in the United States, which is why the comparisons are being made. I would think that we could all agree that not being able to open an LGBT organization or other minority rights organization without being arrested is A Bad Thing but that seems to be a controversial statement here.

The US backs far more loathsome regimes like Saudi Arabia but somehow we are supposed to see Cuba as a enemy nation.

im glad castro lead a revolution against imperialism which has not caved in the face of the threat of nuclear war or the full economic&political power of the USA being brought to bear against it, that's pretty cool!!! but his government sure might maybe have have had to do some otherwise undesirable stuff to accomplish that idk not like us here in FREEDOM AMERICALAND whose prosperity certainly was not built on the back of slavery&genocide and which does not maintain itself by exploiting the poor domestic and abroad geopolitics is hard

As the Nobel laureate Bob Dylan said about the great late FIdel: "Well, I couldn’t leave Unless the old man chased me out ’Cause I’d already promised That I’d milk his cows I had to say something To strike him very weird So I yelled out “I like Fidel Castro and his beard” Rita looked offended But she got out of the way As he came charging down the stairs Sayin’, “What’s that I heard you say?”" I think we can all relate.

Yinlock posted:he may have murdered lots of people for dumb reasons but he said he was sorry so considering the people executed by Cuba were overwhelmingly Batista loyalists and anti-castro insurgents, not sure the reasons were dumb. The idea that the cuban government continued to randomly execute dissidents is not true. quote:According to Amnesty International, death sentences from 1959–87 numbered 237 of which all but 21 were actually carried out. The Cuban Government justified such measures on the grounds that the application of the death penalty in Cuba against war criminals and others followed the same procedure as that seen in the trials by the Allies in the Nuremberg trials. Some Cuban scholars maintain that had the government not applied severe legislation against the torturers, terrorists, and other criminals employed by the Batista regime, the people themselves would have taken justice into their own hands. for comparison sake, the united states has executed 1440 people since 1976

My mother still remembers the day government officials knocked on her door and said all the farmland my great-grandfather had amassed now belonged to El Comandante. to put the cherry on top, this is the person who wrote it
