Yeah, Batista was an animal. That's partly why Castro was able to rally enough support for a revolution. It didn't take long for people to realize that Castro was more of the same. But since Castro was smart enough to implement some positive change, many people came to see him as the lesser evil. I understand that viewpoint. What I don't understand is how people can actually support him to this day.

Well just like science they say things change one death at a time and the hardliners of course are the older generation. While the brainwashing starts at a very young age most young kids and adults are getting tired of the same, and have a different feeling towards the government the feeling of "Our saviors" is gone, and having no future really no matter how good you are at what you do it starting to get to people.

Unfortunately they have a great weapon to keep the Cuban people rallied enough around the government, and that is the "Great Evil Empire the United States that has put punishing criminal embargo to crush our peaceful Island and wishes to control Cuba".

Much like in other countries the way to sustain your regime is to find an enemy(usually the united states), and then unite your people against them, and that's why the embargo helps the regime more than it does any damage to it really. They don't really want that lifted ever in reality they need that tool to claim moral high ground etc. Ending the embargo would be the end of Cuba as they know it, and trust me that scares the crap out of Government because if there is no big bad wolf to point to and blame then they actually have to deal with people looking inward to their situation, and blaming the government.
