Thanks for sharing LTC (Join to see) that when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau praised Fidel Castro he started a fire storm. No surprise there.

My wife and her family are Cuban and I have loved the study of history since I was a pre-teen in the early 1960's LTC (Join to see). Batista certainly was a cruel dictator. By the time Fidel and Raul Castro left Mexico to return to Cuba they were committed Marxists and experienced revolutionaries. From 1956 until 1959 they led a guerilla warfare campaign until they toppled the existing government.
My father-in-law was in a concentration/reeducation camp because he let one of the cows, on what used to be his property until communism acquired everything, be slaughtered. A family friend was brutally beaten while locked away in prison for years and he died a few years ago having been invalided since he got out of prison as a political prisoner.
Execution of political prisoners was in keeping with Marxists and revolutionary doctrine.
The rejoicing in Little Cuba in Miami is for many reasons - the death of Fidel, the hope that Cuba will be free once again, etc.
My wife's family has maintained contact with relatives who stayed on Cuba - many on her father's side are pastors and as pastors traveled there in recent years and as the pastors came without their families over the decades - so they would not defect.
Coincidentally, while Fidel was dying, my wife and I watched the movie Rough Riders which was a very accurate depiction of the combination of Regular Army soldiers and the volunteer Rough Riders assault through the dense foliage to San Juan Hill near Santiago de Cuba, Cuba in 1898.
We freed Cuba in 1898 from Spanish domination and then Sugar cane companies began to exert their influence in some areas. Things got bad when Batista took over but became much worse under the Castros. Thankfully Ernesto "Che" Guevara was killed in Bolivia by Bolivian rangers since he was one of the worst of the bunch.

I'm sorry for what happened to your family under Castro I have a friend who is French Cuban and his dad was thrown in jail under Fidel Castro and the great news about 3 years old to South America I think it was Bolivia and then eventually to the United States. I can't believe that President Barack Obama was so nice and gave them unilateral praise when you're still calling around everywhere and Cuba have a long way to go they are still very communist and oppressive but liberals don't care and Canada has kept the relationship with Cuba since the US broke off relations in 1961

It was a good read especially on how Ronald Reagan's Axis of Evil message even was tap coded into the Russian Gulags. The Prisoners were elated!
