But Nicaragua isn't demonised like Cuba and the Cuban revolution is in America is my point. Sure they'll always be right wingers who think any step leftwards is a sign of the end times but the reason for that reaction towards Cuba even up to today has little to do with the actual Cuban government and more to do with voting bloc mostly centred in South Florida.Remember most Americans can not identify
most central African countries on a map.
For Angola think exactly the same as Cuba, but instead of supplying a failed ultra right wing attempted invasion you funded an ultra right wing and insanely racist invasion.

Under Batista there were not millions of Cuban refugees all over the world. Cuban Balsero Rafters on anything that floats across 90 miles of shark infested waters. Under Batista there were no reeducation concentration camps for political prisoners, Catholics, Protestants, Jehova Witnesses, and gays.
Yes; instead, you had the RCA bureau keeping an eye.No committees for the Defense of the Revolution, CDRs keeping an eye on you.
Batista suspended the 1940 Constitution and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike. He then aligned with the wealthiest landowners who owned the largest sugar plantations, and presided over a stagnating economy that widened the gap between rich and poor Cubans. Eventually it reached the point where most of the sugar industry was in U.S. hands, and foreigners owned 70% of the arable land. As such, Batista's repressive government then began to systematically profit from the exploitation of Cuba's commercial interests, by negotiating lucrative relationships with both the American Mafia, who controlled the drug, gambling, and prostitution businesses in Havana, and with large U.S.-based multinational companies who were awarded lucrative contracts. To quell the growing discontent amongst the populace—which was subsequently displayed through frequent student riots and demonstrations—Batista established tighter censorship of the media, while also utilizing his Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities secret police to carry out wide-scale violence, torture and public executions. These murders mounted in 1957, as Fidel Castro gained more publicity and influence. Many people were killed, with estimates ranging from hundreds to about 20,000 people killed.

Who needs camps when you can have a secret police?But this is getting too political for this here thread, so you OK if we take it to TGs?Yes; instead, you had the RCA bureau keeping an eye.No committees for the Defense of the Revolution, CDRs keeping an eye on you.Batista suspended the 1940 Constitution and revoked most political liberties, including the right to strike.

You are quite verbose for someone emulating a squashed turnip, so you've got that going for you.

Carried out massacres to instill fear in the populace. Tortured people kidnapped off they streets who never had nothing to do with the rebels. Sold the entire economy to the American Mafia. And anything that the Cuban Americans claim Communist Cuba does. Cuba has it’s issues and they are serious but they never compare to Batista.

Two coffee limit? Sounds blasphemous, no such thing as too much coffee.
