what did he do wrong?
What did he do wrong?
being a commie
literally nothing. he's a fucking hero.
>HURR COMMUNISM DURR
No.
He went against the global elitists in Washington.
He is a true friend of the people.
In 20 years everyone will wonder how we ever hated him.
the first thing he did was a mass execution of "counter revolutionaries"
Destroy Cuba's economy, he wanted to force the rich to give everything, but most people hate giving away their stuff to become plebs. The rich got away, along with their business ideas, and that fucked up Cuba hard.
This
Murdering tyrant who followed a failed ideology
Absolutely nothing
Cuckd the Canadian PM to produce another future cucd Canadiam PM.
Nationalized U.D business on the island and then cried when the U.S didn't want to do business with his Island.
Also wanted control over the Soviet nukes on the island. Kruschev denied that request.
>>In 20 years everyone will wonder how we ever hated him.
>seized large quantities of american wealth
>aligned itself with america's ideological and geopolitical foe USSR
>abetting Soviet's own attempts to encircle America with budding Socialists revolutions in Latin America and by attempting to base Soviet missiles within Cuba and putting America in its striking range.
>Poor human rights record (US wouldn't normally give a shit if this was its only mark)
He fell for the communism meme
He's a "freedom fighter, turned despot" who knew how to win a rebellion but had no idea how to run a country
He was instrumental to the erosion of Cuban welfare and made too many terrible, corrupt mistakes to be viewed as anything but a failure
Replaced a corrupt government controlled by American Jews and industrialists with a corrupt government controlled by Russian Jews and Catholics.
Sending his garbage here.
He's a fucking moron who overplayed a weak hand
He thought he was doing the right thing for his country at first, but let his spite toward the US control him
His countrymen suffered as a result of his incompetent attempts at diplomacy and history will reflect this
Blame Carter for that. And when can we send the Southern hicks out of the originally Spanish controlled land?
>>Sending his garbage here.
and they now take part in merchant services and republican politics. oy vey
Fought his revolution under the guise of installing a democratic republic when he won and then decided to become a dictator just like the one he fought against except worse
Mass executions and incarcerations of political dissidents
Seizing property and businesses from their owners
The revolution itself was good, or at least understandable. That is to say, it was bound to happen, the Cuban people could not being put up with being treated as animals, besides the island was being used for the fun of American aristocracy, child prostitution and other things, they imposed the amendment Platt, it was a demeaning treatment, yankees could modify at will the Cuban constitution, they even included an article that forced the Cubans to be spruce. A mess. Then, the doubtful deaths of Camilo and Che stained fidel and the whole movement
>>His countrymen suffered as a result of his incompetent attempts at diplomacy and history will reflect this
he could have done much better, but then he came after batista
He made Outer Heaven.
basically ran north korea 2
Ruthless dictator who tricked his people into believing he was a freedom fighter, but then became a totalitarian. He's just like Stalin almost no different. Hated the West, convinced his people his commie economic policies would lead to no economic inequality, but ended up destroying the country economically.
He also gave the Soviets a surrogate nation close to the United States, which during the Cold War was a disaster for us. He also caused a massive amount of Cuban refugees to flee and move in to fucking Florida. It's cool though, they're based and hate commies.
Other than that, he was a pretty cool looking guy. Piece of shit but looked like a badass
the murders?
He trained communist guerrilla to fuck SA nations
Trump wouldn't be president without them
When you filthy beaners win the Mexican-American War. Oh wait.
Firing squads
Famine
Prison camps
Turned a decent country into a 3rd world shit hole
He shut down the exportation of cane sugar which was one of Cubas biggest sources of income.
>American Jews and industrialists
don't forget the mafia. cuba was a thoroughly corrupt, criminal, kleptocracy, and repressive shithole before it turned into a standard repressive commie shithole we knew too well
He said "My country enemy of America" after exhaling
Rest is history
You mean Batistas murderers
He would if we didn't have open borders or Reagan. If 1980 is anything to go by then he could have easily won by much larger margins.
Cuba was really not decent at all under Batista except for the rich people
Batista was in an unfortunate position. His country was undergoing a boom by cucking themselves to the US
Fidel believed that he was liberating Cuba from a foreign evil, but forgot that the deal was quid-pro-quo
He was Havana U educated, which was made possible by US trade partnerships
Sadly, they didn't teach him that pissing off your neighbors is almost always a bad move
lots of stuff but then America decided he was an okay dude because he let things go through Cuba
This was the guy who ran Cuba before the communists took over.
didnt bend his knee to USA
Batista was very cruel in his treatment of the communist usurpers, often brutally torturing his captives
I sympathize for the cause of the uprising, but Castro was a worse leader than Batista
I'm not sure what Castro's Cuba expected
Whether they like it or not, they have to be diplomatically involved with the US
Unlike most political "fuck you"s directed at the US, Castro chose to overtly and openly defy the US
He could've played us for his country's gain, but he chose a petty fight at the expense of his countrymen
I don't think the whole, Bay of Pigs, thing helped much.
America didn't make it easy, but both sides kept one upping each other. Since neither wanted to back down going full commie pro ussr was obviously how Cuba was gonna turn out
Cuba could have done a lot better if it wasn't for Communism. Embargo was an evil that Americans enforced and supported. Cubans could have traded with plenty of nations without them being worried about the US sanctioning them. But at the end of the day Cuba is a small island separated by no more than 300 km from US mainland. Reason and objectivity are better and more useful than pride and resentful and that's where Cuba failed.
>Cuba is getting wealthy and successful
>many businessmen have their eyes on it as a nation-wide investment for new businesses
>Communism happens
>all goes to shit
Castro killed the only thing they had to export which was sugar cane
Cuba has no natural resources aside from arable land and its waters for fishing
>Reason and objectivity are better and more useful than pride
And you claim to be white.
>Embargo was an evil that Americans enforced and supported.
Embargo was to allow European and Israeli companies to do business in Cuba without threat of competition from nearby US companies. They in turn donated to the political parties who kept the embargo going.
He cut a deal and dropped the fight decades ago.
He got old as fuck
Batista really epitomized the crony capitalist
None of the wealth he was brining into the country made it into the hands of anyone but the elites
Batista could've helped the average Cuban a lot by bolstering agriculture instead of just building casinos for tourists
Nearly started WWIII and ended the world
trickle down economics works
Killed any and all opposition.
>inb4 that's what the people wanted
I have no problem with Cuba or the Cuban people, just with communism.
I really hope President Trump will tell Raul Castro, or whoever is in power then, something like, "look, cut the crap, communism failed, lets get over it and become allies"
I would love for the beautiful country of Cuba to become a popular vacation destination, the Cuban people would benefit immensely from the tourism industry and there are plenty of Americans who would love to spend their money there
Well apparently it didn't work well enough in Cuba to prevent the country from falling into conditions where a revolution was possible
Revolutions don't happen in nations where things are going well and getting better
yeah they do
Liberals are fucktards.
Communist
Antagonist to America
And why is that bad? It maintains order in the country after a violent coup.
No they don't
Name one revolution that occurred while a nation's people were prospering
Really? t b h the only foreign brands I'm aware of operating in Cuba are tourism hotels but not in the form of service export but Cuban private entrepreneur paying for the use of the image in form of franchise. The rest of it internal market except for a little of exportation.
>implying being against America is bad
Sup Forums loves Assad, Putin, Qaddafi (i mean god damn why is everyone so mad about communism when a month ago everyone loved Qaddafi), but I guess we can't love Castro for doing similar things
Does anyone know any good Sup Forums approved documentaries or videos that explain the revolucion cubano?
made alot of Floridian Cubans mad
Fuck me I haven't fapped in like a week and now I might have to even though I really should get to bed
Those Cubans would still be in Cuba if it weren't for Fidel
Greeks and Israelis have agriculture on Cuba and the shipping out of Cuba.
go 2 bed user
I really hate Marxism-Leninism, but if it weren't for Castro, I wouldn't exist. The whole reason my father came here (my mother is American) is because of Fidel and his "Free Cuba" revolution bullshit.
He dindu nuffin!
Sources?
Nothing I respect him for standing up to the Globalist Jewish Scum.
protip: All the Florida Cubans celebrating are the Jews that were exiled during the revolution.
Horseshoe theory itt.
Fapping to glorious general Pinochet, while calling Castro a "ruthless dictator"
>fat samus
pls no
not about the cuban revolution specifically but Dan Carlin has done a podcast about the beginnings of US imperialism that talks about it quite a but. its one of the more recent ones. "american peril"
Probably the fairest judgement of the guy. George Washington knew that he had to step down after the war was done and his time was up. Castro didn't have the grace to act accordingly.
>what did he do wrong?
He could have died in his teens for start, not been a commie, not tried to start ww3 etc etc
Few men have ever turned down power like Washington did
People literally wanted to crown him king after the revolutionary war was won
We were truly blessed to have someone like him and the other Founders to lead the revolution and guide this country during its beginning days
are you dumb? this is common knowledge that all of the rich cubans fled to miami and got rich there
>muh horseshoe
Similar tactics, completely different ideologies. It all comes down to what you value.
Executed 15,000 innocent people
You forgot the part after the cuban missile crisis where he tried to convince soviets that they had intelligence (false) of america preparing to launch nukes so soviets should launch first. Soviets had to remind cuba what the results of nuclear fallout would mean for cuba.
"Innocent" is an interesting word
chose to align with the east instead of the west in order to gain slightly more power for himself and his allies thus sentencing his country and people to decades of embargo, poverty and economic stagnation
define "innocent" plz
For some, their only crime was speaking out. If Castro didn't like you, you died.
