re: Rapper Pitbull issues warning about communism

Pitbull better STFU if he wants to continue to have a career in entertainment here in the USA.

The train has already left the station. There are no words that anybody can speak that will stop what's coming now.

Bro these numb nuts have absolutely zero standards, dignity, or honor. You’re applying yours to them and there’s a huge gap there like most normal people have with the pinko BLM types.

That dude is a massive tool. Always.

He's that stereotypical smug black guy that does all the shite he calls everyone else racist for doing.

I suspect at some point some truths that should have been self evident from the start are going to start coming to you and you'll be among the first to gripe.

You really need to look beyond the surface of things and consider what really is going on. Folks like you are being used and it ain't the right that's doing it

They just did Communism wrong. They’ll get it right this time.

No disagreement that Castro was a horrible leader, however, context is important and the government under Batista was anything but a peaceful republic. If anything it was just a banana republic for the US. But I have a feeling most of you conveniently forget that.

Sounds to me like both men were evil, just different sides of the same coin.

Fulgencio Batista

quote:

---

was a Cuban military officer and politician who served as the elected President of Cuba from 1940 to 1944 and as its U.S.-backed dictator from 1952 to 1959, before being overthrown during the Cuban Revolution. Batista initially rose to power as part of the 1933 Revolt of the Sergeants, which overthrew the provisional government of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes y Quesada. He then appointed himself chief of the armed forces, with the rank of colonel and effectively controlled the five-member "pentarchy" that functioned as the collective head of state. He maintained this control through a string of puppet presidents until 1940, when he was himself elected President of Cuba on a populist platform.[3][4] He then instated the 1940 Constitution of Cuba [5] and served until 1944. After finishing his term, Batista moved to Florida, returning to Cuba to run for president in 1952. Facing certain electoral defeat, he led a military coup against President Carlos Prío Socarrás that pre-empted the election.[6]

Back in power and receiving financial, military and logistical support from the United States government,[7][8] 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.[9] Eventually it reached the point where most of the sugar industry was in U.S. hands, and foreigners owned 70% of the arable land.[10] 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.[9][11] 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 socialist ideas became more influential. Many people were killed, with estimates ranging from hundreds to about 20,000 people killed.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

There's a reason Trump had strong support from Cubans in South Florida.

Cubans make the best Americans

Strong.

Batista's govt was no good for Cuba. It was a sad story. The story of Cuba is a sad story.
