The Fidel Castro Myth Debunked: The Death Of A Tyrant, Not A Hero
What's especially galling is the suggestion -- present in almost every story on Castro's demise -- that he took an impoverished, oppressed nation and turned it into a kind of socialist paradise, with education, social services and health care for all.
This is an utter and complete lie. But don't take our word for it.
"One feature of the Cuban social structure is a large middle class," the Geneva-based International Labor Organization said in a 1957 report. "Cuban workers are more unionized (proportional to the population) than U.S. workers. The average wage for an 8 hour day in Cuba in 1957 is higher than for workers in Belgium, Denmark, France and Germany. Cuban labor receives 66.6%. In the U.S. the figure is 70%, in Switzerland 64%. 44% of Cubans are covered by Social legislation, a higher percentage than in the U.S."
Remember, this is before the revolution.
Numbers taken from the most comprehensive global data base available — created by the late economist Angus Maddison — show that in 1958, real GDP per person was $2,406. At the time, that was second highest in Latin America. But by 2008, that had risen to just $3,764 a person, a mere 1.2% annual growth rate. Cuba has the worst economy in Latin America, outside Haiti and Nicaragua.
And much of that "growth" was due to massive subsidies from the former Soviet Union, which traded badly needed oil to Cuba for sugar at highly favorable exchange rates. Cuba's growth was a mirage, although in recent years modest market based reforms have helped increase incomes for some Cubans.
Before the revolution, Cuba had the 13th-lowest infant mortality rate in the world. It was lower than France, Belgium and West Germany. Today, it ranks about 40th. That still looks respectable, until you consider how it was accomplished: Cuba has one of the highest abortion rates in the world. At the first sign of any trouble when a woman is carrying a baby, it is aborted -- regardless of the parents' wishes.
That's why their infant mortality rate isn't even worse.
But surely health care for all is a major accomplishment, right?
No. As has been noted in many other places, Cuba has three separate health care systems. One for paying customers from places like the U.S., who go to Cuba for discount treatments of cosmetic surgery and the like.
There's another for Cuba's ruling Communist elite, also a good system. This is the health care system visiting journalists are taken to see, and that they later glowingly report on.
But there's still another system for the rest — the average Cubans. It is abysmal, and even that might understate how bad it is.
"Cubans are not even allowed to visit those (elite) facilities," according to the Web site The Real Cuba. "Cubans who require medical attention must go to other hospitals, that lack the most minimum requirements needed to take care of their patients."
It goes on: "In addition, most of these facilities are filthy and patients have to bring their own towels, bed sheets, pillows, or they would have to lay down on dirty bare mattresses stained with blood and other body fluids."
As for doctors, well, they make an average of about $25 to $35 a month. Many have to work second jobs to make ends meet, using substandard equipment. Drug shortages are rife. As a result, one of Cuba's ongoing problems is that doctors leave as soon as they can for other countries, where they can make a decent living.
The country has over 30,000 doctors working overseas officially. Why? Out of kindness? No. The Castro regime earns an estimated $2.5 billion a year in hard currency from doctors working elsewhere, which means Cuba's poor must go without decent care or access to doctors.
As for "universal literacy," please. Primary and secondary schools are little more than Marxist indoctrination centers, where students are taught only what the state wants them to know. That's how they keep people quiet.
Then there's Cuba's higher education, in which "universities are training centers for bureaucrats, totally disconnected from the needs of today's world. To enter the best careers and the best universities, people must be related to the bureaucratic elites, and also demonstrate a deep ideological conviction," notes Colombian journalist Vanesa Vallejo, of the PanAm Post, a Latin American news site.
Nor is it "free." In fact, those who graduate from college must work for a number of years for the government at a substandard wage of $9 a month. They are in effect slave labor. As with most "free" things the socialists offer, the price is very high and nonnegotiable.
In sum, Castro took a healthy country and made it sick. Those who glorify him deserve the scorn they get for propagating such a longstanding lie.
"A less megalomaniacal ruler would have considered (Cuba's pre-revolution economy) a golden goose landing in his lap," wrote Humberto Fontova, a Cuban exile and author of "Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant." "But Castro wrung its neck. He deliberately and methodically wrecked Latin America's premier economy."
How about race relations? By Cuba's own estimates, roughly 36% of the country is black or "mixed." Other estimates put it much higher, as high as 50%.
Nonetheless, a study five years ago by the online journal Socialism and Democracy found "black and mixed populations, on average, are concentrated in the worst housing conditions" and tend to work in lower-paying, manual-labor jobs.
We'll save for a later date Castro's many crimes and 58 years of silent war against the U.S., his allowing Soviet nuclear missiles on his soil in order to threaten the U.S., his repeated intervention in other countries, his assassinations, and his obscene theft of hundreds of millions of dollars of Cubans' wealth to line his own pockets.
Suffice it to say, as Castro departs the scene for the last time, he leaves a Cuba far worse off in almost every way than the one he took over in 1958. Donald Trump, with his impeccable anti-PC skills, summed it up about right, calling Castro a "brutal dictator."
"Fidel Castro's legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights," Trump said in the statement. Exactly right.
Don't believe Trump? OK, here's Fidel's daughter, in an interview with the Miami Herald, describing dear old dad: "When people tell me he's a dictator, I tell them that's not the right word," Alina Castro said. "Strictly speaking, Fidel is a tyrant."

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"

Yup, that was in response to Castro buying armaments from the Soviets after we put in place an armament ban during the revolution, which played a bit of a role in Castro seizing power.
That nationalization that your "so totes cool" with equalled, at the time, 1.8 billion dollars worth of private American's money. Those American's included companies, corporations and private citizens. It is considered the largest seizure of American assests in our history.
So let's recap, your comrade Castro benefitted from our armament ban, got pissed when we wouldn't start selling again after gaining power, went to our enemy (who your comrade just so happened to be ideologically aligned with) to buy weapons from them, which pissed us off and resulted in us not importing sugar or refining their oil, putting Castro in a bind. If he was a smart or effective leader who cared for his people, he would've realized that he should've taken the L, make amends with the fucking superpower 90 miles away, regardless of how much it would've sucked, and hoped and prayed we would forgive him But no, what does he do? He steals 1.8 billion dollars worth of assests from us.
What the fuck did you think we were going do?

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

Good lord man. Again, please go down to Little Havana and tell all you see about this. They truly need to know that they've been deceived their entire lives. Fuck what they've seen or what they went through to escape it.

Why did castro buy soviet arms taco? What happened in 61?
-
Maybe we have a teachable moment here we'll see
-
Since the U.S could no longer support the Bautista regime due them censoring the press in 1958, they put in place an arms embargo.
After Castro took over, we kept the embargo in place. He then turned to the Soviets for weapons.
I'm assuming you are referring to the Bay of Pigs in 61? If so, it shouldn't shock you after Castro's seizure of 1.8 billion dollars worth of American assests in 1960. Granted plans were in the works before that due to Castro's ideology leanings but he gleefully did everything in his power to justify it.
Let me ask you, do you really think that the United States of America was going to let that slide?
-
He nationalied the oil fields after the bay of pigs from what i just read. In fact he tried to establish a relationship with eisenhower. That was our chance but you defied the will of this era's imperialists and didnt want to be our pleasure hub so fuck you we're gonna invade you. That devision set the tone for our relationship to tjis day. The cuban missile crisis would never have happened without the bay if pigs happening first
