Cuba is a Gulag and the Left Likes It

The real Cuba is that of the dissidents, such as Guillermo Fariñas, a psychologist and independent journalist, and Oscar Biscet, the heroic doctor on the island where there are more abortions than births. Half a million Cubans passed through the Gulag of Fidel Castro in Cuba. In comparison to the total population of the island that is eleven million, the Castro dictatorship boasted the highest per capita political incarceration rate in the world.

Castro institutionalized torture against the “anti-socialist elements”. Not to mention the systematic repression, brutal and disproportionate with regard to the minimum of dissent. And to compensate for the lack of consumer goods there was always a generous supply of Communist propaganda.

The list of US celebrities who justified this Gulag is astonishing. Dan Rather called Fidel Castro “the Elvis of Cuba”, “Castro has brought literacy and a large rate of health care in his country” (Barbara Walters)”, “Castro is one of the wisest men in the world”, (Oliver Stone), “Fidel, I love you” (Francis Ford Coppola), and we could continue by mentioning Steven Spielberg, Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss.

And Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t seem to care that Cuba has fewer per capita phones than Papua, New Guinea and fewer Internet connections than Uganda.

According to the Cuba Archive Project, until 2005 on the island there were 9,240 “political deaths”. Armando Lago, a Harvard trained economist and vice president of the Cuba Archive Project, estimates that 78,000 people have died trying to flee from the Caribbean island (20 percent of the original Cuban population lives abroad). 5,600 Cubans were executed, 1,200 were eliminated in “extrajudicial executions” (five times higher than Augusto Pinochet's record).

Cuba is a Gulag and the Left Likes LOVES It

There, fixed the title.

The most telling defense I heard in a Tucker Carlson interview of some idiot college professor: Castro rightly had to make it illegal to leave Cuba so as to keep the good people in.

These leftists write their own comedy scripts.

Top abortion per capita nations are countries like Cuba, Vietnam, Russia and Romania. I forget the other one in the top 5.

Before successful Cuban Americans rush in and capitalize
Cuba I hope they will set aside a portion of Havana for
the purpose of serving as a theme park honoring Fidel.
Future American college students will travel there to
study and compare. Maybe some of them will at least learn
that there are those who should never die of old age
and Castro was one of those type of people.

Make it like Disneyland, with rides and actors in costume, and shops. As crass and tacky as it’s possible to be, all centered around Fidel and his regime.
