Yikes! I’m old enough to remember watching the Movietone News at the theater showing castro and che and the “freedom” fighters and their efforts to overthrow the Cuban govt. Like it was a good thing.
Che, Raúl, and Fidel simply had to personally execute many hundreds if not thousands of anti-revolutionaries because they were trying to prevent the proletariat from creating a workers' paradise in Cuba. Of course, they wouldn't dream of ordering their people to do anything they wouldn't do themselves. Raúl and Che would often execute prisoners with their .45s before enjoying breakfast together. BTW, that's now a meal few Cubans get to enjoy these days.
It was dirty work, but someone had to do it for the greater glory of Marxism in this hemisphere. When I am not punching the lights out of Loonie Leftists who have created a mental fantasy paradise led by Fidel, I often ask the Spielberg look-alikes if would they object if I wore a Hitler Tee Shirt.
BTW, the new, warmer and cuddly Cuban regime recently decided to go after Loonie Left Environmentalists by hosting a "Permaculture Convergence" ( O, look it up) The Birkenstockers headed there and even they were appalled by the Potemkin Village tours they were given, each of the obamageeekoids shepherded by a member of the Cuban Youth, complete with red scarf. They had to stay in camps with an impenetrable perimeter as they were shown the small, "organic" plots by which Cubans are supposed to feed themselves. No mention of the hundreds of thousands of acres of primeval forest cleared by Fidel to grow sugar to sell to the Soviet Union. Nor for that matter, the prison islands to which AIDS victims are sent into quarantine. Cuba is riddled with AIDS as a legacy of Fidel's Communism-building in Africa. Other islands for gays, with AIDS or without. In short, perhaps thousands upon thousands of political prisoners.
Of course, the Permaculturists are still wearing their Che Guevara Tee Shirts. It's a religion. They only dared question it momentarily.
Question: WTF Happens when Fidel and Raúl die? Look for a replay of Haiti under Papa Doc and Baby Doc as the Afro-Cuban army generals take over for a reign of terror in order to preserve the perks which the Castro regime has showered upon them.
