- Defeated Batista, a dictator who killed around 20,000 people and used to make business with the American mob and imperialists. Have you ever seen the video where Fidel Castro is entering Havana with the rebels? That’s what I call “supporting someone”. Most Cubans adore him. literally. The Cubans in the US are a small minority, compared to the Cubans on the Island who number about 11 million today.
- Stopped the excessive control of American businesses over Cuban affairs.
- First Agrarian Reform, thousands of farmers could manage their own land.
- Under his lead, Cuba increases its literacy rate to almost 100%. In addition, everybody has access to free education. That was very important for most Cuban families because most of them didn't have access to education.
- A long list of very well-known achievement in socialized health-care.
- The system was not good, but at least there was a clear “social contract” — you always had how to cover the basic needs.
The capitalist argument that asserts, that because there are countries in the world that identify their economies as socialist and are poor, socialism doesn't work, is misleading. If we apply that same argument to poor countries that have capitalist economies, does that prove that capitalism doesn't work? Be consistent, don't have a double standard. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. There are many poor, developing countries with dictators ruling over them, that have a capitalist economy, so it simply doesn't make much sense for you defenders of capitalism to assume that because a nation that identifies itself as socialist is poor or under the heel of a totalitarian regime, that somehow proves that socialism can't be an effective economic system. Haiti and Honduras are the poorest nations in the Western hemisphere and they have a market, capitalist-based economy. Saudi Arabia is led by an absolute monarch (i.e. dictator), who has people's heads chopped off in the public square, for "crimes" like religious apostasy, witchcraft, and being in possession of more than an ounce of Marijuana.
So give that line of argumentation a break. Send it on a vacation somewhere. Let it go. There are capitalist countries that are devastated economically and are ruled by tyrants and yet the US government is in bed with them. All cuddled up, rubbing cheeks with heinous, blood thirty regimes. So stop supporting American imperialism, and you'll greatly reduce if not eliminate most of the illegal immigration into this country.
