re: #260 Blind Frog Belly White

Yesterday on FB, my wingnut cousin posted a Greg Gutfield tweet, that only a communist could turn a tropical island paradise into a hell hole.

I thought, “Didn’t Columbus pretty much do that to the entire Caribbean?” Indeed, isn’t it pretty much what European countries did all over the world for centuries?

Gutfield is an idiot. Your point works too and it’s not as if Cuba was somehow thriving before Castro either. Make no mistake, the guy was a dictator but it wasn’t exactly utopia before the revolution. There’s a reason why a reactionary like Ted Cruz’s father even took part in the revolution.
