Willie, in this thread alone, you promote Karl Marx, and openly display your belief that America is at fault for Castro...the typical Blame America First attitude.
Once again, there were no peasants in Castro's revolution Willie, and there was no economic base for his seizure of power, but I will not get you to understand that.
Castro's "revolution" was conceptualized and carried out by people very much like you Willie. Pseudo intellectuals who embraced Marx and hated America.

Which is exactly what you support.
You support the government imposing tariffs to protect wages inflated by Union muscle. You want the government to take out of my pocket forcefully in order to protect the inflated wages negotiated by the Unions, so that the membership dues can fatten up Union political coffers.
And no popular support from the Cuban people?
Gee Luis, I was unaware that pre-Castro Cuba had such a large population of psuedo-intellectuals.
Either that or the Cuban people must've been extremely ignorant, apathetic, ambivalent, docile and sheepish to simply stand aside and let a small band of extremists overthrow their government.
