Let’s Bury Fidel
Not the truth.
I come to bury
CaesarFidel, not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be withCaesarFidel …
Drumpf said that Fidel was a ‘brutal dictator’. He was not a nice person in a lot of ways, but he certainly was no where near as brutal as Fulgencio Batista, the fascist dictator he overthrew.
Batista was “anti-communist”, so he got US government support. His brutality, the corruption involving large landowners, US corporations, and the Mafia were ignored. When Castro finally threw Batista out and started giving land to the poor and nationalization, Cuba’s 1% went across the Strait to Florida and immediately started their propaganda & political machine that resulted in a worthless 50-year embargo.
Fidel’s real crime was being a communist, not being a dictator. He was definitely the lesser of two evils.
