You are literally telling me to tell dispossessed Cuban-Americans that the American gov't has supported numerous dictators in Latin America around the world. You are telling me to tell them that at the same time they were doing this, they placed an embargo against Cuba and tried to kill Castro. You are telling me to tell them that Castro instituted a literacy campaign, universal health care and a pretty good education system. You're telling me to tell them that Castro was a dictator who kept the trains running on time.
All these are facts, so, sure, I'll tell them. In fact, they've told me this. They'll tell you this. I've lived in Cuba and South Florida. I've had these conversations countless times.
Your point is, exactly?
You are just a another propaganda believing libtaaaard.
ALL celebration, NO mourning for this oxygen thief who took over land, riches, families, memories by force, torture and imprisonment. Injustice and oppression will be his memory.
Some facts for you to ponder:
â—He turned Cuba into a colony of the Soviet Union and nearly caused a nuclear holocaust.
â—He sponsored terrorism wherever he could and allied himself with many of the worst dictators on earth.
â—He was responsible for so many thousands of executions and disappearances in Cuba that a precise number is hard to reckon.
â—He brooked no dissent and built concentration camps and prisons at an unprecedented rate, filling them to capacity, incarcerating a higher percentage of his own people than most other modern dictators, including Stalin.
â—He condoned and encouraged torture and extrajudicial killings.
â—He forced nearly 20 percent of his people into exile, and prompted thousands to meet their deaths at sea, unseen and uncounted, while fleeing from him in crude vessels.
â—He claimed all property for himself and his henchmen, strangled food production and impoverished the vast majority of his people.
â—He outlawed private enterprise and labor unions, wiped out Cuba’s large middle class and turned Cubans into slaves of the state.
â—He persecuted gay people and tried to eradicate religion.
â—He censored all means of expression and communication.
â—He established a fraudulent school system that provided indoctrination rather than education, and created a two-tier health-care system, with inferior medical care for the majority of Cubans and superior care for himself and his oligarchy, and then claimed that all his repressive measures were absolutely necessary to ensure the survival of these two ostensibly “free†social welfare projects.
â—He turned Cuba into a labyrinth of ruins and established an apartheid society in which millions of foreign visitors enjoyed rights and privileges forbidden to his people.
â—He never apologized for any of his crimes and never stood trial for them.
