Cuba would have reformed decades ago if the US hadn't been so vindictive and applied such harsh sanctions.

Katie Hopkins is the UK version of Ann Coulter but she has obviously had her eyes opened since going to Cuba.

Quite obviously brother, you don't know much about Cuba beyond the meme .. which is kinda' sad given the plethora of real information on Cuba before the revolution.
I could post that information for you now, but I'm not sure you're interested in truth that doesn't conform to your politics.

but you have to look at the before picture too. Under Batista the populace was little more then serfs.
Batista was corrupt, and most of the resources went to the oligarchs.
So it was a natural tendency to correct thru central planning. which of course brought it'sown problems -but still allowed the country to beter many lives.
It's going to be interesting where Cuba goes after the Castro's -moer socialism,or more capitalism?
The reason he went to a hospital in an old car isn't the fault of his regime, it was the USA blockade..

Completely Effed
Are you saying all of those things didn't happen? You're sounding like an American leftist before the fall of the Iron Curtain, talking about how much better everything was in the USSR than in America.
#71
And thus the tie-breaker is chronology.
And the Fidel Castro regime both preceded, and precipitated the restrictions.
FYI B #71 it is a simple phenomenon our culture calls "cause and effect".
This is a concept we inherited from the ancients. It has been with human culture for millennia.
So the chronology sequence is:
a) Fidel's murderous regime
b) The U.S. federal restrictions
c) The jaunt to the hospital (in Conan's fictitious Olds)
And thus the tie-breaker is chronology.

Why are leftist so easily duped....are they really so against "hard work" that they would rather be live social fascists than work and be freely liberated capitalists? First they ignore history and claim the Republican's and Democrats magically switched sides (propaganda denied by the most recent example of a Democrat KKK member dying in office in 2010...R.Byrd, and their latest pick to head the now decaying DNC, a Muslim supporter from Minn, being caught on the record proving that he is the bigot and racist that the left accuses everyone else of being, suggesting that Blacks have their own nation by taking the US southeast, while Jew bashing every time he stands in front of a crowd with at least one black muslim in it)...
how do they actually believe their own BS, because their puppet masters propagandized such. Then they refuse to accept the reality from history that radical leftist ideas such as social fascism has been responsible for killing more people by their ideology than all the wars of world history combined.
They are touting this man as some kind of hero...when in reality the type of ideology he promoted killed more than 94 million people in the 20th century alone. And then they bitch about capitalism and imperialism....forgetting that it was the imperialist nation of Great Britain that was the first nation on earth to abolish slavery...while slavery is still practiced in communist nations around the world.
Its as Mr. Reagan said, "Its not that our liberal friends are lying....its just that everything they "KNOW" is not based upon truth." Its how the greatest criminal ideology to have ever existed on the face of the rolls.... indoctrination...taking advantage of the "weak mind" and desperation.

The irony is agonizingly hilarious.
It is the REPUBLICAN party that claims the mantle of being the party of "family values".
Well guess what!
A major component of "family values" is FAMILY !!
And guess what else! In functional societies, families, a fundamental structural unit of that society, is run as a socialist if not communist unit.
When older brother outgrows his clothes, younger brother inherits them.
Same thing w/ the bicycle, etc.
Let us all please be unambiguously clear here. I am NOT defending communism as a viable federal standard.
Instead I'm acknowledging the hypocrisy of the Republican party that flails away savagely against "leftists" while communism is a fundamental principle of their espoused / claimed principle: "family values".
It's one thing to be wrong.
It's a separate thing to pretend for and against principles not held.
Hypocrites!
Right...err...left....and of course you are not projecting unproven subjective BS while attempting to deflect away from the documented and testable evidence provided by the Black Book of Communism are you comrade? Priceless....the same weak ass MO from all you snowflakes.
Sorry....that only works on weak minds and those incapable of critical independent thinking and reasoning. But it would be a simple thing for you document your subjective BS with objective evidence...no comrade? Why do you not? You can't, as there is no retorting of the truth. Thus the personal ad hominem BS. None of which can deny the reality of the 94 million deaths during the 20 century....among them, the 10-100000 murders by the Castro regime. The exact figure can't be calculated because anyone that attempted to research the data...meets with a mysterious accidental death.

Damn brother .. you've got Google sitting right in front of your face. Try looking up 'Cuba under Batista.'
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT HIGH RATES OF POVERTY, ILLITERACY, NO ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, HIGH INFANT MORTALITY, HIGH RATES OF PROSTITUTION AND THE SEX TRADE, POLICE STATE BRUTALITY, AND MAFIA CONTROL WEREN'T BEING SUFFERED BY THE CUBAN PEOPLE? Cuba was being run by foreigners to their benefit ALONE.
Cuban children were dying while Batista was enriching himself and his mafia masters. Are you suggesting that isn't true?
AND, when the cowboys showed up to 'rescue' Cubans and restore US control .. did the Cuban people fight against Castro, or did they fight the invaders?
Since none of you care to take the time to intelligently inform yourself, let me post this for you ..
Bay of Pigs
The Bay of Pigs (Bahía de Cochinos) is a small bay on the southern coast of Cuba that was invaded on April 17, 1961 by approximately 1,400 Cuban exiles organized and armed by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The invasion was meant to appear to be an attempt by independent Cuban rebels to overthrow leftist Cuban leader Fidel Castro, but became obviously known as an American project, and confirmed when President John F. Kennedy immediately admitted responsibility when the invasion failed. The Bay of Pigs, as the whole episode came to be known, was a major embarrassment for the United States, which was caught deceiving the United Nations and trying to overthrow by force a government which the U.S. itself had officially recognized and which was not attacking the U.S. One hundred and fourteen invaders and 157 Cuban soldiers were killed and 1,189 invaders were taken prisoner.
Fidel Castro became the leader of Cuba's government when his revolutionary forces overthrew the Batista regime in January, 1959. At first, Washington was not hostile to Castro. President Dwight D. Eisenhower recognized his government a few days after Batista's downfall, and Castro even traveled to Washington to meet with Vice President Richard Nixon (later President Nixon). Nixon decided that Castro could not be relied upon to pursue U.S. interests and began to agitate privately for his removal.
In October, 1959, Eisenhower approved a secret program to depose Castro proposed by the CIA and the State Department. Eisenhower told his advisors that "our hand should not show in anything that is done"—in other words, that the operation should be carried out in such a way that
U.S. responsibility could be plausibly denied. To this end, the CIA gathered, funded, armed, and trained an anti-Castro rebel organization in Florida, the Panama Canal Zone, and Guatemala. The CIA began military training of 300 Cuban expatriates in March of 1960, and in May began broadcasting anti-Castro propaganda over the whole Caribbean from a station on a small, disputed territory named Swan Island. The programs were taped in Miami under CIA control, but claimed to be the voice of an authentic Cuban rebel movement without U.S. ties. In September, addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, Castro accurately accused the U.S. of operating Radio Swan; the U.S. denied the charge.
In July, 1960, the Cuban fighters of "Brigade 2506"—named for the number of a brigade member killed in an accident—were transferred to a training camp in Guatemala built and run by the CIA.
On November 4, 1960, John Kennedy was elected president. Once in office, Kennedy gave his approval for the training of Brigade 2506 to continue. Like Eisenhower before him, however, Kennedy was adamant that U.S. armed forces should not take part in any effort to overthrow Castro. Not only was the whole operation illegal, any hint of U.S. manipulation would alienate potential supporters of the invasion inside Cuba. U.S. planners hoped that when news of the invasion reached the Cuban populace, an anti-Castro rebellion would arise and cast him out. At the very least, planners believed, the invaders could fight their way overland to the Escambray Mountains, about 100 miles west of the landing zone, and join rebel forces already fighting there.
On April 15, 1961, the first part of the invasion plan was carried out. Eight B-29 bombers supplied by the CIA bombed Cuban military aircraft on the ground at several locations. Later, a B-26 bearing Cuban markings and marked with bullet-holes landed at Miami International Airport. The pilots claimed to be defecting Cuban pilots, the goal being to make the raids on Cuba earlier that morning look like an internal action by defecting Cuban pilots. However, reporters on the scene noted that the plane's machine guns had not been fired and that the plane was not of the type actually used by Cuba. Castro, hearing the reports, commented that even Hollywood would not have tried to film such a feeble story. The goal of the bombings themselves was to destroy the Cuban government's small air force at one stroke, eliminating any call for U.S. air support of Brigade 2506 at the landing site. The raid was not completely successful, however.
Two days later, on April 17, a landing was made at Playa Girón (Girón Beach) in the Bay of Pigs. A small beachhead was quickly achieved by Brigade 2506, but one of their freighter vessels, containing food, fuel, medical equipment, and a ten days' supply of ammunition, was quickly sunk. Combat was heavy around the beachhead as Cuban government forces responded to the attack. The remnants of the Cuban Air Force bombed and strafed the invading forces, as Brigade 2506 had not been supplied with fighter aircraft and President Kennedy categorically refused to allow U.S. fighters to go into combat.
The military situation deteriorated steadily (from the invaders' point of view) over the next 48 hours. On April 18, while the fighting was at its peak, Adlai Stevenson denied to the United Nations, in response to Cuban accusations, that the U.S. was attacking Cuba. Eventually, Kennedy was persuaded to authorize unmarked U.S. fighter jets from the aircraft carrier Essex to provide escort cover for the invasion's B-26 bombers, most of which were now being flown by CIA agents in support of the ground invasion (two-thirds of the Brigade pilots were refusing to fly). The jets from the Essex missed their rendezvous with the B-26s by an hour due to a misunderstanding about time zones; in the subsequent, unescorted bombing raid over Cuba, two B-26s were shot down and four Americans were killed. The fighting ended on April 20, 1961, with the defeat of Brigade 2506.
The project, most analysts would later conclude, had been hopeless from the beginning. Fidel Castro enjoyed wide support in Cuba and had just consolidated a military victory against the Batista regime; a few thousand lightly armed invaders could not possibly have taken the island. Furthermore, the idea that the U.S. could keep its role secret had become ridiculous long before the invasion was attempted. The New York Times had run a story on March 17, 1961, predicting a U.S. invasion of Cuba in the coming weeks, and another story on April 7, entitled "Anti-Castro Units Trained to Fight at Florida Bases," which noted that invasion plans were in their final stages. Although the Times had watered down the latter story considerably at President Kennedy's personal request, when Kennedy saw the paper he exclaimed that Castro didn't need spies; all he had to do was read the news. But Castro, and others, did have spies, and the Soviet Union was fairly well-informed of U.S. invasion plans ahead of time.
The costs of the Bay of Pigs were high, and not only in lives lost. In the wake of the invasion, Castro consolidated his regime, supported by public outrage in Cuba over the U.S.-plotted invasion, and concluded a mutual-defense agreement with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union exploited this relationship to get Cuban permission to place ballistic-missile launch sites on Cuban soil. These launch sites, detected by U.S. aerial photography, were the immediate cause of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, generally agreed to have been the closest approach to all-out nuclear war that the world has yet encountered.

Yes Castru put down those elements who sought to do the US and Mafia bidding .. sometimes brutally .. but the Cuban people were FAR better off than they were before Castro.
AND, after the failure of the Bay of Pigs, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff planned to carry out Operation Northwoods .. otherwise known as 9/11. THEY PLANNED TO HIJACK COMMERCIAL PLANES AND FLY THEM INTO US FEDERAL BUILDINGS, BLOW UP US SHIPS NEAR CUBA, KILL INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIZENS, AND BLOW UP JOHN GLENN IN SPACE .. BLAMING IT ALL ON CASTRO.
JFK wouldn't go along with the plan .. 6 months later, he was assassinated.
To be ignorant of these FACTS is typical of dumb ass colonized Americans who can be told any fucking thing imaginable.
Castro invested whatever resources Cuba had in the Cuban people and his successes in doing that is nothing short of amazing in the face of American intervention and attempts to kill him.
Are you suggesting this isn't true?

Wrong....the major component of "family"....is God. Why? Because "morality" is taught at home by a family...immorality is not taught by liberal public schools. That's something you evil fascist socialists would know nothing about..correct comrade? Then you have to look at the documented facts right here in the United States...families have virtually disappeared here over the past 70 years....destroyed by social fascist polices from the left...the result, CHILD POVERTY, and poor education, inner city slums, crime gangs, etc., For example....when the left wing Bigot LBJ launched the supposed war on poverty in 64...the number of all US HOUSEHOLDS with 2 parents, a father and a mother was the fact that 93% of all children born in the US was born into 2 parent households, a father and a mother....the flipside? Today, well over 40% of all the children born in the US are born into single parent households. Yep...socialism is GOOD, GOOD, GOOD for families right....comrade?
Today a left wing family still consists of 2 parents...a mother and The GOBERMENT, who has told the poor they would take care of the deadbeat dads, by taking his place...while allowing the dead beat to go out and father up to 29 different children with at least a dozen different mothers...all being raised by the Good Ole Unkie Sam and the US TAX DOLLAR.

Whilst much of that is true there is also the other side where Castro lived a life of wealthy excess carefully kept from the Cuban people. He reportedly had 20 homes, numerous mistresses, a private island and luxury yachts.

Oh and this is something that is never discussed by those on the Left, for obvious reasons. Somehow I doubt that our resident racism monitor Leon/Buckley will have much to say on the subject though!!
