Idealists who 'temporarily' associate with thugs to bring down the existing order don't realize until it's too late that once the "revolution" is accomplished, the first thing that happens is the idealists are wiped out by the thugs, because they are no longer useful.

After the revolution was successful, Fidel Castro eliminated the idealists because, in addition to being no longer useful, they also became a dangerous liability...to him.

Yeah, Castro was lying thru his teeth, promising liberty and elections to further the revolution. The Cubans got screwed!
