Why do people on the right still get worked up over castro?
-
I know, but im trying to divorce people of this institutional myopia that some folk just cant let go. Ever. This world cannot be managed properly if everything has to be according to one superpower or another. It continually fascinates me how self proclaimed decent god fearing folk can give such egregious passes to some of the behavior this country has exhibited in the past.
Miss me with ur cool stories about ur fake god when u cant acknowledge that forcing an entire country to be the pleasure hub for some of the worst humans ur society has to offer is a bullshit state of affairs.
I'm just going to go point by point here.
Superpowers dictating to others isn't an ideal system, but it's the best system we have. Look throughout history and when everyone is even, a lot of people die. Nations, and people in general, will always strive for more power and will go to great lengths to obtain it, as well as keep it.
Yup, we've done some shitty things throughout our history. We've also done some great things. If you were to measure our atrocities and achievements against every other comparable country within the same timeframe, we start looking a lot better. Hell, go further back and we still stack up better than any other superpower in human history. You can focus on the negative all you want but until you have a point of reference, it's pretty pointless.
As for your "bullshit state of affairs", look what happened after. An oppressive regime which enriched themselves off the suffering of their people. Was the "bullshit state of affairs" ideal for Cubans? No, but it also would've provided them with a better path forward than what Castro provided.
No, but it also would've provided them with a better path forward than what Castro provided.
Maybe maybe not. Had the u.s not immediately embargoed them would things have been different? Very likely yes, how much i dont know. But the misery of the cuban people had more to do with being economically isolated

You should go to Little Havana and inform all of the Cuban refugees of that.

Other countries still traded with them. Castro's shitty economic policies are what fucked them over.

I am beginning to think that you suddenly had a brain injury or you are trolling.

Do u seriously think that the U.S never leaned on those countries? Because cuba has come before the UN many times complaining of exactly that. Especislly on major energy exploration deals with european firms that the state dept got nixed. But i guess cuba was supposed to subsist solely on cigar exports?
Cmon guys ur smarter than this. You know full damn well that when the biggest economy in the world embargoes a small ass country like cuba, its over for the little guy. Arguing that point is asking me to debate special needs adults who still wear diapers, no interest on my part

If the world embargoed us we'd be in the same boat after a few decades. The lesser educated/skilled would be fleeing just tje same to go drive taxi's somewhere. And u can bet they would have nothing good to say about the elites that ran things here

Yes I am sure energy companies were dying to work with a communist dictator who steals private industry and demonizes capitalism.

Not my claim, boss. You post the link. Last I checked (within the last year), all foreign investors had to partner with a Cuban government org.
This came up after Obama said that travel restrictions would be lifted.

Yeah I'm sure the refugees are just making up the whole "my relatives were imprisoned and/or killed for dissenting" thing.

They're still waiting to be reimbursed from Castro nationalizing their refineries in the 60s.

Aaaannddd heres why they did that....
"In October 1960, a key incident occurred that led to the Cuban government nationalizing all three American-owned oil refineries in the nation. Cuba nationalized the refineries following Eisenhower's decision to cancel 700,000 tons of sugar imports from Cuba to the U.S.[18] and refused to export oil to the island, leaving it reliant on Soviet crude oil that the American companies refused to refine, which led to Cuba's nationalization response. The refinery owners were never compensated for the nationalization of their property"

Fidel Castro’s greatest atrocities and crimes – Part 1
Fidel Castro is often portrayed as the “benevolent” dictator of Cuba, such portrayals are unarguably wrong. The evidence of his bloodthirsty and murderous nature is unequivocal and available for anyone who wants to know the truth. Unfortunately such evidence is rarely discussed by the news media and at schools. There’s perhaps no more grizzly atrocity committed by Fidel Castro than the firing squads which he implemented. Beginning as a rebel, before he would eventually take power in Cuba, Fidel Castro used firing squad executions to enforce discipline, punish followers deemed disloyal or intimidate potential opposition. At the beginning of the Castro regime there was a reign of terror typical of revolutions in which the firing squad was used prominently but the executions continued for decades.
The Cuba Archive which documents deaths and disappearances resulting from Fidel Castro’s Cuban revolution has documented 3,615 firing squad executions conducted by the Cuban state since Castro took over on January 1, 1959.
Most of Castro’s firing squad victims were afforded only a perfunctory show trial the outcome of which was predetermined, some didn’t even get that. Ernesto “Ché” Guevara is a popular culture icon, his face adorns posters and t-shirts around the globe. Most people don’t realize that he was Fidel Castro’s chief enforcer and had a personal hand in at least 100 firing squad executions, often delivering the coup de grace personally. In response to questions about Castro’s firing squads Guevara once said, “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution. And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.”
