Even a fool like you should recognize this
As long as you are in need of someone to blame and criticize (a trait common amongst the loonie left) why no go back to the Spanish rule of Cuba
They burned Indigenous Cuban resistance leaders at the stake
They imported slavery & generally raped the Island for all its worth
No it was not him fooling anyone. He took control with Machine guns , rocket launchers and grenades
Like all other commie rat bastards he ruled and it was his way or a bullet/prison
While the people of Cuba were not "fooled" they did not have any choice in the matter
... Because the Cuban Revolution wasn't against a Spanish backed dictator... The revolution was against a U.S. backed dictator...
You do understand that the Cuban revolution wasn't just a one man show, do you not? That they required an army of (volunteer) revolutionaries to fight an actual army of the (corrupt) government of the day? You're a bit of a moron, but you're not that stupid..
I'm certain there are many Cubans who do not like living under the rule of Fidel (just as there are many who do not like living under the rule of Stephen Harper). I am also certain that there were many more who did not like living under the rule of Batista (as evidenced by a successful guerrilla led revolution against an American backed government)..

Because of High School level History.. Batista (during WW2) had proposed a joint U.S. - Latin American assault on Spain to overthrow the Franco regime (Franco was the dictator of Spain from 1939 to 1975).. Idiot
The question was rhetorical.. Please use the world wide web to look up "rhetorical"..
Not to get too far off topic with this nonsensical "point" of yours, but it actually can be argued that the government in Iraq is quite corrupt.. ISIS is pure evil, but it's not like their primary enemy (the current government in Iraq) are without their considerable sins..
You know you're insane right? To anybody with half a brain it's perfectly clear that I wasn't comparing life under one to life under the other.. I was simply stating the obvious.. That there will be always be opposition to any government of the day.

So you can count one Spaniard who was not backing Batista
That does not make you an oracle
Please use the www to look up moron
Just so long as you can justify the evils of Castro, ISIS & Al Qaeda
Then you are a happy man
Grow some balls and pick a side
I do not think so, you made the initial comparison
Perhaps nobody told you may have to defend what you post
Smuck
Really?
That appears very much to be a one to one comparison
No actually you stated
Which is not obvious at all
In Canada , the U.S. & other democracies the opposition gets to participate in law making, publicly criticise the current government and gets to campaign for the right to form a government
In Fidel's commie Cuba the opposition gets put in prison or just disappears.
For someone who is so self righteous , so offended by all injustices and is absolute about knowing what is best you should sure do not know who to champion
You would not have lasted 6 months in Cuba before your idealism would have landed you in a prison cell
you are too self righteous to appreciate what you have
Probably,...but communism doesn't breed performance,...!!!
So not a big deal I think.
FAST
Will the Cuban diaspora repatriate their monies like the Chinese, Greeks and especially Israelis?
Spaniard? We were talking about which government propped up Batista, resulting in the Cuban revolution, you absolute dipstick.. You bizarrely felt that the Spanish rule over Cuba might have had something to do with the revolution.. I (accurately) pointed out that the revolution wasn't about anything that happened during Spanish rule (which ended in 1898... more than 50 years prior) but specifically against Batista (who was backed by the U.S. government).. You then demanded to know how I knew who was backing Batista (insinuating that the Spanish might still have had something to do with it along with the Yanks).. This was beyond pathetic as it's widely known (by anybody with half a brain) that Batista tried to wage war against the Spanish during WW2.. FAIL! You're just so pathetic.
Grow a brain and realize that there isn't a "side" in every fight worth joining.. Some fights are just stupid and should be left to the morons fighting them...
I realize that your laughably pathetic mind needed me to make this argument so that you could "amaze" the terb world with your "wisdom".. But I didn't.. Too bad so sad.. Try using your brain next time..
Which is nothing like the free and democratic world of the U.S. backed Batista governed Cuba? Get a brain you loser.. These arguments would be a lot more fun if you had just a basic understanding of world history (instead of a sack of nonsensical right wing rhetoric, conjured up to amaze and confuse the small brains of the world like yourself.).

Keep patting yourself on the back you self righteous knob
So is pointing out faults to paint the bad guys in a better light
Still finding excuses for ISIS?
Its black & white
You made a ridiculous comparison & now you are trying to wiggle out of your stupidity,
Sort of like when you asked "why an incremental tax on property sales should not be implemented to fund a special needs program ?'
You did not think that one through either
Cuban life under Batista vs. Cuban life under commie Fidel
You once again are absolute in your uninformed (& bad ) judgement
You are assuming it was worse under Batista just because they had a revolution
That assumes Fidel did not take way more steps to ensure there was never a success revolution that threaten him
I,e, you do not know the relative body count for either
You assume that Batista was just as ruthless as Fidel,
Perhaps if was he would have stayed in power
As before you do not think things through
It is entertaining toying with your tiny little mind though
You brought up ISIS, not me. You brought them up in an effort to lump the Castro regime in with one of the worst terrorist organizations this world has ever known. You then made the easily disputable claim that the soldiers of this terrorist organization were "fooled" into believing they were fighting against a corrupt government.. I was simply pointing out that the government that they are currently fighting against IS corrupt.. You pathetic boob.
That you read my explanation that there are always people who despise thier governments and (like the complete fucking moron you are) decided it would be easier to argue my point if my point had actually been that there are legitimate comparisons between Harper and Castro??? Yeah, you're right.. It is black and white.. You're a moron and there's no disputing it.. Black and White...
Actually I'm assuming it was worse under Batista because (again) of world history.. I used the revolution as a simplified explanation that might appeal to your tiny brain.. Batista seized power when he realized he was running in an election which polls indicated he would lose (ousting a democratically elected president). He did this with the blessing of the United States government. He then developed heavy (and well documented) ties with Organized Crime (and often used these connections to repress the opposition). Under him crime exploded. Unemployment was rampant. It's estimated that by the time he was ousted as dictator as many as 92% of Cubans were illiterate.. Contrast that to Cubans today who have Universal Health Care.. A U.S. Congressional report admitted that health care is “superior in Cuba and rivals that of numerous developed countries”. They sport a literacy rate of 99.8 percent.. By 1990, unemployment had been virtually wiped out.. 80% of Cubans own their own homes...
The difference between you and I (besides the fact that you are clearly brainwashed by right-wing rhetoric) is that you feel that the revolution happened for no reason whatsoever.. You seem to think that every thing was hunky dory under Batista. I'm more than prepared to acknowledge that Castro's time as leader has been littered with human rights abuses, and negative impacts to Cubans in general.. But to sit on your high horse and declare that the revolution had no basis for taking place is beyond asinine.. Batista was corrupt, and life under him was awful. Maybe it isn't much better now (though there are some well-informed people who might disagree), but it sure as fuck wasn't better then..
Bottom line.. You're an idiot without a clue as to what you're talking about.

US policy was effectively terrorist policy in Cuba both before and after Castro. So saying he stole property or that his regime committed atrocity kind of misses the point.
Neither side had ever had any interest in benefiting the Cuban people. A third alternative is needed.
The US interests that lost assets in Cuba that they originally got through graft and extortion do not deserve to get them back, and the Cuban people deserve better than Castro.

Who would decide what is graft & extortion ?
You?
There are some families here in Canada who made a hell of lot of money sell booze to Al Capone during probation
The Kennedy family in the States owes their fortune to bootlegging booze
Are you going to say they need their money taken from them because you do not like how they got it?
It was 80 years ago , only an extra couple of decades more than the Cuban theft of assets
