Another case of USA allowing a Communist dictator to ruin a country that had a good leader.

[the other mike]

From Wikipedia:

"In the 1950s, Cuba's gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was roughly equal to that of Italy at the time"

Cuba GDP in 2015 = $87.13 billion USD

Italy GDP in 2015 = $1.8 trillion USD

"According to the International Labour Organization, the average industrial salary in Cuba was the world's eighth-highest in 1958, and the average agricultural wage was higher than some European nations."

Yeah, but Batista enabled Castro's rise to power.

Read the thread title genius.

Cuba was a corrupt dictatorship in league with the mob and a bunch of rich fucks.

People were starving and being killed by the government so of COURSE Republicans admire that model

Am I touting Castro? Not even close but the thread title is a LIE

Cuba was NOT some friggin paradise unless you were in the Mob or in the good graces of the corrupt dictator

People were not starving. If anyone was killed, it was a handful compared to the tens of thousands that Castro, Che Guevara and the commies executed. The standard of living was 100 times better than it is now.

You are spouting communist propaganda.

Back in power, and receiving financial, military, and logistical support from the United States government,[7][8] Batista suspended the 1940 Constitution and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike. He then aligned with the wealthiest landowners who owned the largest sugar plantations, and presided over a stagnating economy that widened the gap between rich and poor Cubans.[9] Eventually it reached the point where most of the sugar industry was in U.S. hands, and foreigners owned 70% of the arable land.[10] As such, Batista's repressive government then began to systematically profit from the exploitation of Cuba's commercial interests, by negotiating lucrative relationships with both the American Mafia, who controlled the drug, gambling, and prostitution businesses in Havana, and with large U.S.-based multinationalcompanies who were awarded lucrative contracts.[9][11] To quell the growing discontent amongst the populace—which was subsequently displayed through frequent student riots and demonstrations—Batista established tighter censorship of the media, while also utilizing his Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities secret police to carry out wide-scale violence, torture and public executions; ultimately killing anywhere from hundreds to 20,000 people.[12][13][14][15][16][17]

Of COURSE Republicans love this creep

"However, despite an array of positive indicators, in 1953, the average Cuban family only had an income of $6.00 a week, 15% to 20% of the labor force was chronically unemployed, and only a third of the homes had running water."

That was actually good for that region in 1950.


Notice how some people focus entirely on the wage GAP. They don't see a problem when EVERYONE is poor and starving, as long as the gap shrinks and everyone is poor and starving together.

So it's better when only the majority are suffering?

Got it!

Again, they were doing relatively well for that region of the world in the 1950s when compared to other countries in that region at that time. The same can not be said for Castro.

Batista was a good leader? Compared to who? Pol Pot?

 

[bripat9643]

Allowing? What does the US have to do with "allowing" this or that govt?

BTW, what year was it that trump started sucking up to Castro?

Trump is sucking up to Castro? Remember this, dumbass? The fucker had his picture taken in front of a giant mural of Che Guevara!

 

[Rustic]

Talk to a Cuban exhile. Lesh can’t...there would be a homicide. Cubans lived long enough under that.
And I’ll now leave Lesh to spastically google “quotes from Cuban communists who fled communism but like Castro”

You find a Cuban exile who loved Batista and I'll show you a corrupt prick

They definitely hate Castro, Che, and Communism more. Probably Lesh, too.

Don't worry..I'm not real fond of jerk offs with Confederate flags as their tag line

That's a state flag, faggot. A real one. Ofc you're too derp to realize that.

Uuuuu..the fake Duke called me a faggot!

What do I do now!

 

[RandomPoster]

Simply to be clear, the average wage in cuba was 25.80 in 1953 under Batista and fell to 18.44 in 66 years at the time of Castro's death in 2008 without adjusting for inflation. Could you imagine average non-inflation adjusted wages dropping over a 66 year span? Now that is a trainwreck we refer to as Communism.

In other words, in 1953 under Batista, the average wage was 25.80 a month. It is now 29.60 dollars a month in 2019. Holy shit, they're doing much better under Castro. In the meantime, wages have gone up about 1000% in the USA during the same period.

Average Monthly Salary in Cuba is $29.60 US

The only one comparing Castro to Batista is YOU and somehow you cum up loving the corrupt dictator.

That's not a lot different than trying figure out whether Stalin or Hitler was the "good" leader.

Jesus dude...do you TRY to make yourself look like an asshole...or are you just and escapee from GAB or 4chan

Yes, that's right. Cuba under Batista was a paradise. You don't want to compare them because you don't want people to know the truth about Castro. He was a murdering thug who enslaved his people.

If you believe Cuba is such a paradise now, then move there. What's stopping you? You can give all your money to the government. It really won't matter if you do, because if you move there the government will take it all.

Hello there dumbass! You know, Batista was retired and living in FL until the US installed him as a dictator. That's when things went South for Cuba. Things were better in Cuba until Batista. I never claimed Batista was good.

Yet another example of failed US "regime-change".

Under Batista Cuba was a paradise compared to Cuba under Castro.

They all preferred Batista to Castro, moron. They didn't leave Cuba until Castro took over. What does that tell you?

List of authoritarian regimes supported by the United States

Over the last century, the United States government has often provided, and continues to provide today, financial assistance, education, arms, military training and technical support to numerous anti-leftist and anti-Islamist authoritarian regimes across the world. A variety of reasons have been provided to justify the apparent contradictions between support for dictators and the democratic ideals expressed in the United States Constitution.

They have faced Lesh before. The faceless mob jeering for the powerful.

That had to have sounded better when you thought of it in Russian

The "Russian" is the one defending Castro.
