can someone explain?
Miami is well known for having a ton of Cubans, and the first wave were wealthy land owners in Cuba up until the Cuban Revolution nationalized and redistributed large property
(fun fact: including the Castro family's own property. Fidel's sister was so pissed at losing out she went CIA agent over it).This first wave set the basis for the culture and politics of Miami Cubans, and even non-Cubans later on, for whom Castro is almost literally a devil-like creature.wtf, I actually learned something from reddit?
The Castro family was one of the larger sugarcane families in Cuba and at one point Fidel and Raul's father had over 400 Haitian "workers" (slaves). I should also point out that Ángel Castro, the father, collaborated with the United Fruit Company to gain much of his wealth, the same company that instigated the American backed coup in Guatemala.
Fidel and Raul Castro were correct to give up their family's land.
You're not even smart enough to understand the criticism, so I guess I will spell it out. As recently as 2019, Bernie was talking up what a great job Castro did improving literacy rates in Cuba. What he didn't say was that the literacy rate increased more because of illiterate people being purged rather than people actually learning to read.
:michael-laugh:
Who was persecuted again? The rich highly literate that fled the country or the poor illiterate? Pick one.
So the literacy rates would be unaffected then. :bird-screm-2:
There's only 3 options:
-
Rich persecuted. Rich reduced by murder or leaving country. Literacy goes down.
-
Poor persecuted. Mostly illiterate (not really but for the sake of this). Literacy goes up.
-
Both persecuted. Literacy unaffected.
option 4: everyone is killed or flees. the population of Cuba is 2: the dictator and the chained up guy he tortures by forcing to read cringe takes on :reddit-logo: . literacy rate is 100%
-
Castro found the people who were kinda literate, kinda not, and had them be the only ones in Cuba.
:che-cigar: "hey we just successfully overthrew a bourgeois dictatorship and we're instituting a dictatorship of the proletariat. you think we could ensure a strong working class government with a mass literacy program?"
:fidel-cool: "nah, i think we should probably just execute illiterate people en masse, even though they're the ones who did the revolution, and all the people who want to do that are of the class we just overthrew."
