    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.

      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:

          1. Rich persecuted. Rich reduced by murder or leaving country. Literacy goes down.

          2. Poor persecuted. Mostly illiterate (not really but for the sake of this). Literacy goes up.

          3. 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."
