> It is worth knowing that this was an American narrative
Are all the political assassinations committed by Fidel's regime a product of the American narrative?
Is Cuba's direct participation in the Angolan civil war just propaganda?
Is Cuba's oppressive and castrating regime just tales from disgruntled americans?
...or is it something else?
- hkt 10y agoI will remind you that America rents space on Cuba to torture people free of its constitution. You are not uncompromised good guys. Cuba supported countries in Africa and elsewhere that were decolonising. This sometimes got messy, just as American (+ friends) interventions in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan have recently created disasters. Most informed commentators say we created ISIS. America has a long history of intervening, renditioning (that's "kidnapping and torturing people who haven't been convicted of a crime"), coups - even in democracies! - and assassinations. So I'd say simply that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. The fact is that Cuba was probably not significantly more morally broken than anywhere else. The reason we are taught to hate is because they rejected capitalism.
