A message to Robert Garcia, from a Cuban.

IMO the revolution was good, it was honest and overthrew an oppressive regime. The problem they faced being such a small island with not a whole lot of resources was that in order to carry out socialist revolution, they had to rely on others, obviously that being the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union could have done more for Cuba, and of course their own corruption and failures led to their collapse, leaving Cuba with virtually no foreign support. On top of that the inhumane sanctions by the US helped cripple any kind of growth. The revolution didn't have much of a chance under those circumstances.

Despite all this, the standard of living believe it or not is still better than most Latin American countries who have been absolutely ****d by free trade, coup d'etats, modern day imperialism, military intervention, assassinations, drug trade, etc.

Many people who don't have a direct connection to the island believe Castro was good for Cuba. Once, I, too, believed the theory. But after careful study, both through books and personal interviews with many Cuban friends and family, I came to view Castro as more of a destroyer than a creator. The romance of the revolution died long ago. "Che" really believed in it, and even Castro probably believed in it; but, as they say, absolute power corrupts absolutely. There's just no way communism can succeed in the real world, partly because it invariably involves the control of one despot, er "leader," and his small band of henchmen.

While it's true that Cuba's poor probably have a better standard of living than many of the destitute around the world, it's also true that there is no wealth. I would rather be born poor, and have the chance at a better standard of living, than be born poor and have no expectation of ever rising above my lot. What do I care if the next guy is poor just like me? It's a culture of misery.

You telling me about Cuba is like a fifth grader trying to debate with a college professor. Your knowledge is severely limited. Let me ask you this: If the "principles of communism" are so viable, how come they've failed practically everywhere they've been promulgated? And how, pray tell, are Cuban-Americans benefiting from Cuba's current state?

not like you describe it... pre castro , cuba was a playground of the most crooked people on earth ..from the mafia to their local politiacl allies to traitors..cuba was like a pupet contolled by strings pre castro ...it's has been the blueprint of most wannabee diplomatic governamnet in the third world nations....

without catros's reign , cuban to the US would be like how mexico is to the US now ...thats how cubans differ to mexico...staying here legally would'nt be that easy...

You should thank me. I am the reason you're going to community college and started posting with better grammar.

I ignored you because you were e-stalking me. I see you still are following my posts.

I had a feeling this was about me sweetheart, and that's why I clicked view post. I ignored yo ass right back because you are too sensitive. You got butthurt over nothing couldn't and take it like a man, or whatever it is you are....more sensitive than freaking Robert Garcia. Unfortunately when someone replies to your ******ity I can see the ******ed things you say even if I have you ignored (someone should fix that), and that's why I put my 2 cents about not replying to you since in the end all it does is get your panties in a bunch. I still don't miss you, but since you have calmed down enough that you can see my posts again without getting a nose bleed, I will un-ignore you as well, just so I can rub it in when Canelo gets his ass beat by Lara .

Yes, it was a playground to the most crooked people on earth. So what? Besides the Mob, Cuba was playground to anyone who had the money to travel there. It was that way well before the Mob got involved in the island.

Some things changed under Castro, but not all. There were whores then and there are whores now...except, now the **********s work for a lot less.

I wasn't butthurt, it was just a bit annoying how much you were following me. I don't know what I did to incite your worship, but it's whatever at this point.

You can follow me if it makes you feel better.

Also, you can try and "own" me all you want. I just hope your grammar improves because a lot of your posts are literally incomprehensible.

HE was butthurt to literally follow all of my posts and quote them lol. He was just mad that I called him out on his poor grammar.

So says the guy with nearly 9000 posts. You're the dude complaining about what some ignorant trainer said. He apologized and he's not very intelligent. What more can you ask of him?

Cong**** on reading all those books re: Cuba.

P.S. I'm not an alt.

Nice try doe.

That is insane I though we had so much fun. You would talk **** on Lara I would reply playfully telling you Canelo is a b*tch... you would stalk my posts waiting to call me out on grammar on a boxing forum. Good times, or so I thought, if you don't like the arguing then why start arguing with me sheeesh you are one bi-polar thing ain't you. I will be more sensitive to your feelings in the future
