------------------------------------------

Here are some figures:

executed      18,000
extrajudicial assassinations        1,000
disappeared          250
died in prison for lack of medical attention            50
murdered in prison by guards (brutality)          500
extrajudicial assassinations of women, for different causes          150
Sub-total for extrajudicial killings      20,400
political prisoners who reportedly committed suicide in prison          200
died at sea attempting to flee "balseros" - estimate based on Coast Guard estimates of casualties      83,000
Cubans killed in "internationalist-solidarity" wars in Africa      10,000
Total    113,600


The above numbers don't include deaths caused by Batista regime, documented by Armando Lago at 2,500, of which 2,200 are deaths in military battles in the Sierra Maestra, mostly soldiers, and 300 were murdered by Batista security forces.

To put these numbers into some context, note that all deaths reported during the entire Pinochet regime in Chile totaled no more than 3,100, a figure which includes the disappeared.

Nota Bene: Following the journalistic code of reporting by the Voice of America (VOA), two independent sources are used to confirm report of incident.

Photo credit: Juan Clark, Ph.D. Cuba: Exodus, Living Conditions and Human Rights.

 

Lest we forget, this list is a few years old, you can increase it by the number of deaths in the Straits (The Killing Waters), by the number of deaths in the Tugboat 13 de Marzo Massacre, and the murdered Brothers to the Rescue pilots.

The creation of the Young Pioneers was modeled after the Hitler Youth to indoctrinate children beginning in elementary school. The Young Pioneers are still active today. That's why Cuban exiles were so offended when Castro sent the "schoolteacher" with the other kids dressed in the uniform of the Young Pioneers to indoctrinate Elian Gonzalez on U.S. soil!

They won't utter a word. Ardent leftists know all about Castro's Hitlerite origins. They won't say anything because they also know that also know that the Nazi's were LEFTISTS!

You got it! The suggestion that Castro is like Hitler because Castro is a fascist is just plain Barbra Streissand!

Both are extremist left-wing Marxist communists.

That lunatic left wingers believe they can get away with the idea that death and destruction-worshipping, pagan-heathen National Socialist Workers' Party founder Hitler was a "right winger" [And is the responsibility of "the Christians" he despised and of whom he murdered millions] is one of life's enduring mysteries!

..... The creation of the Young Pioneers was modeled after the Hitler Youth .....

What revisionist rot!

What a stretch to try and turn Havana's Billionaire Butcher into a right winger and/or any of his institutions into extensions of any of Hitler's!

What's next? Make him the responsibility of Cuba's Catholics, maybe? Why not, I guess. Plenty still push the tired old lie that the death-and-destruction-worshipping pagan-heathen Hitler -- who patterned his hopes and aspirations and his actions and activities on those of his other hero, [Marx inspired the language of his message] the false fuerher, Mohammed -- was the creation and/or the responsibility of the Christians Hitler, like his inspiration, despised and murdered in their millions!

Castro's creation of the Pioneers was modeled on the same group found in the USSR and in every Soviet Satelite Country and or territory, including East Germany, hardly likely to model anything -- or be permitted by its Moscow masters to -- upon Hitler's evil!

The Soviet government required all children to join Soviet youth organizations. For 8 to 10 year-olds there was The Octobrists, [From October 1917] for 10 to 16 the Pioneers, and for 19 to 23 the Komsomol. [AKA Young Communist League]

Children were taught how to be a good socialist/communist, outdoor exercise, and "clean living."

The National Socialist Party (Nazi) was Fascist while the Soviet "Socialist Republics" were Communist. Both systems are forms of tyranny, oppression and human exploitation that brought the same result to people -- death and destruction. Fascist Socialism was and still is favored by the corporate right. It is subtler than Communist Socialism, which is favored by the Leftists, who advocate government as the sole arbiter of people's lives.

As the Soviet and German labels openly declared, Fascism and Communism were extremely similar -- just two varieties of socialism. The Fascist praises the free market, but ultimately destroys it. The Communist condemns the free market and destroys it. Both tactics are tools of a monopolistic type of parasitism known as Socialism. The key goal in either case is the destruction of market competition so that certain ruthless individuals can acquire wealth and power through the exploitation of their people.

In spite of its close ties to Fascism, Communism has been highly successful in its campaign to paint anyone who challenges its collectivist vision as neo-Nazis. Communists are literally allowed to get away with murder, as in the case of Fidel Castro, with no risk of attack or censure from the Left. American socialists are in love with Castro and his tyranical regime. As a result, they were instrumental in the return of little Elian Gonzalez to Cuba.

In 1941, as a student at a Catholic school run by Spanish Jesuit priests who were sympathizers of fascism at that time, Castro ..........

That part of the article is B.S.

Castro graduated from Belen Jesuit in Havana. Belen was run by the same Jesuits that moved the school to Miami after Castro took over. I graduated from Belen Jesuit in Miami and some of the Spanish Jesuit Fathers at Belen Jesuit, Miami were the same as those who were at Belen Jesuit, Havana when Castro was a student.

Those Jesuit Fathers were definitely against the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War, not because the Jesuits were "Fascists" but because the Republican side was predominantly Communist and physically attacking the Catholic Church. I still remember their stories about Catholic Churches being burnt and Spanish priests and nuns being murdered by the Communists.

Everyone ought to be discussing this... oh, it's plain, Hitler modeled his forces after the Bolsheviks, Stalin took inspiration from Hitler ("the only man I can trust", he said), and they gave rise to such as Fidel and Yasser. Anti-Semitism is a qwik-fix for destroying the middle class and the intelligentsia - which revolutionaries have to do.

Himmler and Eichman did pattern their work on Kaganovitch. Germans were nothing if not methodical.They examined the work the Soviets had done in the Ukraine.
