Basically, his argument is that Castro is better than Batista. Is that it Harry, pretty lame. My dog could rule Cuba better than Batista. Of course this is a false argument presented as if it was a choice between Batista and Castro. Why not have a Cuba with a modern economy and freedom? Castro is nothing more than a Stalinist dinosaur. He's a Caribbean Kim Jong Il. My dog could also run the Venezulean economy better than it was run before Chavez but htis does not mean Chavez is good. Castro has done more to improve the lives of ordinary people in Cuba than Batista, the dictator the US supported, ever did or would do. Then why the huge efflux of Cuban refuges under Castro? In recent years, because of the lack of economic opportunity in Cuba, the same reason why we get so many immigrants from Mexico, Salvador, et cetera. Cuba has never been a wealthy country. Prior to Castro, Cuba did make significant amounts of money for its leaders, and for US gangsters and corporations, but that is because they were sucking up the profits and doing next to nothing for the workers. Then why didn't the workers hop on a boat and flee the country under Batista? I suspect that growing up in New Jersey (my mom was from Hudson County), and living so close now to Little Havana, that I have a lot more Cuban friends than you. None of them share your view of Castro vs. Batista. Your knowledge of history is defective, as is your understanding of the motivation of many of the Cubans who came here in years past. The motivation of many of the folks who I know that moved here is that Castro came in and took their homes, took their businesses, and put their family members in jail. There's nothing "defective" about those first-hand accounts. I dated a girl that was born in Cuba......that is exactly what happened to her family.......lost everything they had. |
