Yep, the people support it so much that the 'flimsy boat industry' is thriving over there....Look, Castro, and Che combined their murderous take over against the will of the people, that is how communist always do things, bloodshed or not.
I know that. But surely your not denying, regardless of the violence of communism, that it was a popular movement which enjoyed much support. Of course once they actually took power things changed. They started clamping down and the opression began. Im sure if the Cuban authorities never went so far as to censor the media and restrict public speech against the revolution, and people in Cuba saw it for what it
really is, just a communism with dynastic rule by a bunch of greedy fools who have done everything BUT help the "people", then it would all fall apart.
:lamo Now that is funny. Injustice.....Pfft! Why yes, we should embrace with open arms communism, and illegitimate dictatorships as long as they are cause celebs for the left....
A product of public education no doubt.

Notice the quotation marks i used. Its meant to highlight that it is, of course, untrue, but Cuba useses it nonetheless.
The embargo's which have helped cause the current situation (most done by none other than Castro's regime of course) has allowed Cuba to "victimize" itself and that has garneded up support for the socialists in Cuba.
Im not saying remove the embargo's to help Cuba thrive and its communism propsper. I just dont think he no longer retains the right to have embargo's. It no longer poses a threat to us and it is in a region (near South America) which has very socialist roots anyway, so it wont change much, not that Cuba has the power or the money to exert much influence anyway, and judging from its communist regime and size i doubt that will ever be the case.
If we claim to travel to the other side of the world to defeat "evil regimes and restore peaceful democracy" for the sake of human rights and human dignity, we can remove embargo's on Cuba and at least claim we did what we could without intervention to end the somewhat brewing humanitarian issues there.
EDIT: We dont do politics at public schools
