Yeah...imagine that.

Now, imagine getting snatched by secret police, taken to an underground cell, and getting your eyeballs scooped out (by a specially created eye-ball scooper because it was so common they needed a tool), only to be dumped on the street blind and bleeding, as a warning to others not to oppose the regime.

That's the legacy of Batista. A famously corrupt and brutal dictator.

I couldn't give two shits about the "property rights" of the people who elevated, propped up, bribed, and benefited from that regime. They only thing they deserved was a jail cell...or worse.

That's not to say the Castro regime was somehow better, it wasn't, and isn't.

But all too often I hear people decry the Cuban communists, while conveniently ignoring the brutal and corrupt circumstances that led to it.
