  17.  @ashyari1989  The simple truth is the 100 million deaths attributed to communism is a falsification of historic fact. That figure comes from the Black Book of Communism, and the authors would go on to admit to the falsifications and that they were forced to scew the numbers of deaths by the publisher to reach the 100 million number. Even then, if you took the false information as fact, using thier same algorithms in how millions of the deaths they attributed to communism that were caused by disease, natural famine, and foreign invasions, the capitalist experiment in India alone left over 100 million deaths just between 1948-1979, and a further 35 million under British colonial rule, now add in the right wing dictatorships installed by capitalist powers all across the developing world, the massacres and genocides they committed to maintain thier power, imperialist wars wrought to enrich western entities from Monsanto and United Fruit to the East India company. 20 million deaths to WW1, given that capitalism was the direct cause of the rise of national socialism in germany and fascism in Italy, we can add the 75 million deaths caused by that, then we can talk about the13 million slaves sold to the new world and the generations of thier children that were born into and died in bondage for the sake of profit, 10 million more in the Congo, Spain genocided 130 million in the americas for gold and glory, and the US 12 million more for manifest destiny, communism's hands may be bloody by it doesnt compare to the ocean of blood that's been wrought for the sake of capitalism. Your argument completely ignores this historical context, yet boo hoo for a few grain hoarding kulaks and nazis that got sent to gulag.

  27.  @scorpiontdalpha9799  that was more capitalisms fault that solely Batista, he was a tool corrupted by Meyer Lansky's money because Batista couldnt keep the casinos honest and it was costing Havana alot of revenue, when Batista first took power via coup he was a populists that the cuban people largely supported because he the Machado regime, and got rid of americas right to militarily intervene in Cuba. American companies had already spent decades tuning Cuba in to a monoculture as to have a cheap sugar colony to exploit, and the post WW1 slump in the market sealed Cubas fate as a land that would remain a paradise for the tourist coming from miami and a living hell of poverty and suffering for the working class, and as Batista was further corrupted from the payoffs he was receiving from america companies like United Fruit, the he would grow to care less and less about his responsibilities to the people, upon his 1952 coup he no longer held the popular support of the people, and the US as Americans already owned 70% of the arable land in the nation, to protect these holdings, and receive further payoffs from the americans, he suspended the constitution, revoked most political liberties, banned the right to strike, outlawed the communist party, and set up the Bureau for the repression of communist activities, a secret police apparatus responsible for the deaths and disappearances of 20,000 people. His repressive government then began to systematically profit from the exploitation of Cuba's commercial interest, by negotiating lucrative relations with both the American mafia, who controlled the drug, gambling, and prostitution buisness in Cuba, and th US companies that were paying large sums of money to quell the growing discontent of the populace. Since the Spanish first arrived looking for gold and slaves to exploit, capitalism was never a good thing for the cuban people.
