That's a blatant false dilemma.
The atrocities committed by Fidel Castro aren't whitewashed just because you can pick other nasty regimes.
Stalin isn't suddenly fabulous because he fought the Nazis.
Fidel Castro imposed a totalitarian regime on Cuba and extensively used violence and political assassinations to preserve his stranglehold on Cuba. Fidel Castro also projected his atrocities by intervening in decades-long civil wars.
You can't pretend nothing happened by playing the racist card.
- sangnoir 10y agoExcellent strawmen you've got there: how about you address the points I stated after the half-sentence you've selectively quoted? You consider it a dilemma because you refuse to admit your 'team' were not squeaky-clean angels and the opposition were not cartoon villains. I clearly stated that there are no clean hands: you are the one who is pretending like nothing bad was done by the west or their colonial allies/puppets by playing the communism card.
