Not to sound like a tankie, but at least Fidel Castro cared about his people and their well being.
I don’t care what I sound like, they’re also one of the few leaders/nations who successfully defended against American capitalist aggression attempting to destabilize their government to open up its resources/people to our owner’s merciless exploitation in their insatiable need for infinite growth/metastasis on a finite world, and remove as many potential global examples of alternative economic systems as possible, a feat many South American nations that dared to attempt a better future for their people failed to accomplish defending against.
A small example demonstrating that our oligarchs can be rebuked, but an example nonetheless.
Saying good things about Cuba doesn’t make one a tankie. Cuba does good things. If ever there was justification for a violent revolution would it not be slavery? No ones gonna call people who think Haitis revolution against their slave owners was good tankies. Similarly, Vietnam is a left nation and saying good things about them doesn’t make you a tankie because they’re doing good things. All the above countries have their problems too, but I wouldn’t liken praise to them with genocide deniers.
Nah it’s just there’s people on here who believe anyone defending anybody that’s communist is a tankie. I’m pretty left leaning and anti capitalist but not to the point where I would support China or Russia or some stupid shit like that.
Stop trying to make Trump look cool. If anything, he’s more like Batista.
Dave?
Fulgencio. The dictator who was in power before the Cuban revolution, with connections to organized crime, under whom Cuba’s economy was mostly casinos, drugs, and brothels while the people were poor and illiterate. Plundered the country bad enough to spark the revolution that drove him out and brought literacy and education and economic development.
