    Do you not know what the Bay of Pigs invasion was? They did try to land despite the overwhelming support for Castro and the revolution. They were then soundly crushed, why do you think it would be better if they Cuban's never fought back? And remember in the following decades these gusanos would engage in random acts of terrorism on civilians, if you let them in there is no appealing to their humanity, they wanted blood. There is no realistic scenario where allowing them to inflict violence without push back will change their minds and get them to leave. So again, why sacrifice the lives of countless Cuban revolutionaries and peasants to protect some mafiosos and fascists, why is that the better strategy? Why is that even the more moral strategy? I 100% guarantee less lives were lost from resisting the Bay of Pigs, would you insist on Gandhi's strategy even if it is going to result in far more death?

      The Bay of Pigs was a) a farce and b) completely different from Gandhi's India situation.

      Every situation is different. But I firmly believe that Gandhi's method of getting the people on your side, and resisting occupying forces with nonviolence is the best strategy.

        Then fucking explain how it would have worked in Cuba, Jesus fucking Christ. It was a farce because the Cuban government was militarily prepared and destroyed them, it would have been a lot less farcical if they met them with "nonviolence", how do you not understand this? You truly must be trolling, there is no other explanation.
