Just so we're clear, before Castro Cuba was still under a brutal and definitively racist dictatorship. It was just one that was US-approved as they allowed for austerity (economic exploitation). Batista was an elected President who ran on a populist platform. In 1952 when he was facing certain defeat in that year's election, he invoked a coup and when in power immediately began revoking political liberties, catered to the wealthy class (primarily land owners who grew crops) and widened the wealth gap. After a few years 70% of those land owners were American. To quiet dissent he convened the "Bureu for the Repression of Communist Activities" which had an armed wing that targeted protestors and dissenters.
And as has always been true throughout political History, nothing quite creates far left Communists as efficiently as corporatist authoritarianism.
Hard disagree. Cuba exports revolution but China has been horrifically murderous to their own people.China is nowhere as diabolical as Cuba.

The suburbs of Managua?He’s a typical leftist racist parroting his white socialist talking points. The only time he interacts with brown people is when he’s looking for a an “authentic” food experience. My brown Nicaraguan ass has been dealing with these kinds my whole life living in suburbia.

We’re supposed to be the western demon from hell all things bad come from the USA. Except financial aid tho then we’re no longer the almighty satan. Ask yourself this question would you accept aid from the most evil place on earth according to the Cuban government themselves.buncha communists asking for handouts.
