    I’m not some starry eyed naif who thinks Castro was a saint, but he and Che were 10000% better for the average Cuban than Batista and the gangsters who propped him up.

        Yep, I was including the US government, there’s documentation of them colluding with the mafia in their attempts to regain control of Cuba. Remember that Smedley Butler described his career in the Marines as being a gangster for capitalism.
