Castro simply stole the land from its rightful owners and never distributed it, preferring to let it remain fallow for half a century.<BR/><BR/>Batista was the embodiment of the socialist ideal -- a genuine "son of the people" who rose to power by dislodging (and later co-opting) the elite. <BR/><BR/>He never forgot his humble origins and always endeavored to better the lot of the Cuban workingman and -woman and did. Thanks to him Cubans enjoyed the world's most advanced labor protections (including maternity leave, social security, a 35-hour work week with compensation for 40 hours, a month's vacation and a "thirteenth month" Christmas bonus).<BR/><BR/>I suppose you can call all this socialism with a small "s" in the same sense that FDR's New Deal policies were also socialistic.<BR/><BR/>At the start of World War II, Batista formed a unity cabinet which included Communists. However, they were all ministers without portfolio, which meant that they were not in charge of any departments.<BR/><BR/>Roosevelt, even bolder than Batista, chose a Soviet-sympathizer (some say Communist), Henry Wallace, as his vice-president. If Truman had not replaced him on the ticket in 1944, U.S. history might have been very different.Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-59953444121761429522008-04-22T23:44:00.000-04:002008-04-22T23:44:00.000-04:00Fantomas,God has a way of using us to achieve grea...Fantomas,<BR/>God has a way of using us to achieve greatness at times.

The operetta revolution against Batista involved very little fighting and even less dying. 184 casualties on both sides, and, in the end, the intervention of the U.S. State Department to remove Batista.<BR/><BR/>The tyranny in place in Cuba today is as institutionalized as any that has ever existed in the history of man. You are right when you say that it can only be dislodged by military coup or foreign invasion. Castro has co-opted this military completely and the U.S. has committed itself to preverving Castro and his successors in power. First through treaty obligations and now because it is not in its interest to deal with a post-Castro Cuba. <BR/><BR/>Where we differ, however, is on whether Cubans are reconciled to tyranny. I do not believe that they are or ever will be. And yet they must accept — because they have no other choice — the prevailing conditions.<BR/><BR/>To add to their suffering will not spur them to suicidal action. Those who suggest that Cubans should be starved into rebellion are not really interested in a free Cuba but in punishing those whom they see as an obstacle to a free Cuba — namely, its people.Manuel A.Tellecheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637085685599554349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-11531681842339918342008-04-22T21:09:00.000-04:002008-04-22T21:09:00.000-04:00Manny,do you agree with this?"Cubans were socialis...Manny,<BR/>do you agree with this?<BR/><BR/>"Cubans were socialist-leaning even before the robolution (check out the 1940 constitution, its liberal by today's standards), imagine now."<BR/><BR/>Is this true?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-21127391001293517462008-04-22T20:55:00.000-04:002008-04-22T20:55:00.000-04:00Qué manera de hablar mierda desde un blog!A la man...Qué manera de hablar mierda desde un blog!<BR/><BR/>A la manigua , patriotas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
