You’re trading one form of corruption for another. Once Castro was given enough time in power, he proved to be no better than Batista. In 1959, he falsely promised free and fair elections in 18 months, and then ruled for five decades.
I think Che’s idealism may have been better suited for the role, but that wasn’t the plan. With Cuba’s small scale and valuable exports, they should be able to successfully run a socialist or communist nation without intervention.
This is entirely false. Life expectancies rose dramatically, slavery was abolished, literacy rates rose dramatically, and the economy was democratized under Castro. To claim Castro is “no better than” the US backed fascist slaver is incredibly out of touch with reality.
Further, global trade is a necessity. No country in the Global North runs on its own, rather, they function based on Imperialism and plunder the Global South. If, say, France were to be cut off from the countries it plunders, it would collapse. The resiliance of the Socialist system therefore has proven itself.
You should read up on Cuban Democracy. Not only is Cuba now more democratic than under Batista, a fascist slaver US puppet, Cuba is more democratic than countries like the United States.
Your key issue was that Castro “jailed political dissidents.” The political dissidents jailed by Castro were supporters of the Batista Regime, who were slavers, fascists, and colinizers working with the United States. The “authoritarian action” you are criticizing was jailing fascists and slavers, this is definitionally implying that you support Castro letting slavers and fascists run free, ergo defending fascism.
You don’t know enough about the government of Cuba to not like it, as proven by the fact that you think Batista was no worse than Castro. You’re just a brainwashed western fascist who thinks their ignorance is equal to actual knowledge.
It’s fun watching this person berate you for being homophobic over an analogy while wholeheartedly supporting a dictator who persecuted, imprisoned, and forced conversion on homosexuals.
I’m not sure you understand that the “political dissidents” you are defending were right-wing death squads, fascists, and slavers. Of course they opposed their slaves and workers rising above them.
I cannot but defend the authoritarian, nay, the stalinistprohibition on using handcuffs in prisons. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing prisoners get what they deserve, to know that they are forced to do what they want to, to know that they have to work if they feel like it.
First off, drop the homophobia. It is entirely unsurprising that anti-communists inevitably resort to ableism, honophobia, transphobia, or misogyny to attack those supporting Socialism, but it’s truly horrible behavior. Claiming I am being “bad-faith” when you resort to homophobic attacks is ironic.
Castro was elected, and did not have absolute power. The people he oppressed were the Slavers, Fascists, and Capitalists that worked with the United States to colonize and enslave the people of Cuba. Castro is labeled a dictator for taking away the freedom to enslave, the freedom to colonize, from the United States and their allies in Cuba.

You’re a fucking moron or a white supremacist if you think Castro was not better than Batista.

Lol lol lol.
You got upset that I don’t like the government of cuba. Never have, even before they were authoritarian communist.
Oh no… an internet communist calling me homophobic as an ad hominem. So edgy.

Oh, guess you lied about changing your mind and missed me praising the progress of modern Cuba in cementing a much better family code.
Slavers and fascists supporting the Batista Regime were right to be jailed.

I think they meant sucking dick like kissing ass, not like sucking dick as a form of punishment. I don’t think it was intended to be homophobic.
Lol, those who defend authoritarian regimes aren’t one who should be throwing stones. Done with you.
