who was worse fidel Castro or fulgencio Batista?????

Question

please explain why.....thank you sooooooooo much!

Answer 1

they were both as bad, it is just that the old Cubans have selective memory.
The Cuban exiles in Miami have acted as if Castro developed in a vacuum and everything was hunky dory in Cuba before the "bad" man Fidel Castro Ruz came into power
In 1934 Fulgencio Batista took over the Cuban government in what became known as "The Revolt of the Sergeants." He ruled Cuba with an iron fist, and the full blessing and endorsement of the United States government, who feared a social and economic revolution and saw him as a stabilizing force with respect for American interests. Batista established lasting relationships with organized crime, and under his guardianship Havana became known as "the Latin Las Vegas." Meyer Lansky and other prominent gangsters were heavily invested in Havana, and politicians from Batista on down took their cut.
Through Lansky, the mafia knew they had a friend in Cuba. It was here that Lansky gave permission to kill Bugsy Siegel. Many of Batista's enemies faced the same fate as the ambitious Siegel. Nobody seemed to mention the many brutal human rights abuses that were a regular feature of Batista's private police force. Batista remained in power until 1944.
Batista again staged a coup in 1952 ousting Carlos Prio and becoming dictator of Cuba. After this point, Batista abandoned the Cuban constitution by allowing only staged elections where his victory was guaranteed. Large American corporations grew rich from Cuba's resources while the people of the country remained poor. Batista did not offer health care or education to his people At the time of his ousting it was estimated that 92% of the country was illiterate
Batista was ousted by Castro and the Cuban Revolution and left the country on January 1 1959.

Since his assumption of power in 1959 Fidel Castro has evoked both praise and condemnation (at home and internationally). Castro is described by opponents as a dictator while supporters see Castro as a charismatic liberator.
When Fidel returned to Cuba, he formed a socialist economy, putting the country at odds with the United States in the middle of the cold war. Previously, up to 70% of the Cuban land and farms had been owned by foreigners. He ordered all American-owned businesses and interests confiscated, eventually causing the United States to cut off diplomatic relations with Cuba and impose a trade embargo on January 31, 1961. As a result of the seizure of foreign assets, over one billion dollars was lost by private companies in the United States.
Outside of Cuba, Castro has been defined by his relationship with the United States and the former Soviet Union, both of whom courted Cuban attentions as part of their own global political game. After the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 by U.S. backed forces, the Castro-led government has had an openly antagonistic relationship with the U.S., which encouraged a closeness with the Soviet bloc. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 forced Castro to seek alliances regionally to counter U.S. and find like-minded partners in regional nationalist figures such as Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and Evo Morales in Bolivia. Over time he has become a world icon.
At home, Fidel Castro has overseen the implementation of various economic policies, leading to the rapid centralization of Cuba's economy, land reform, collectivization and mechanization of agriculture, and the nationalization of leading Cuban industries. The expansion of publicly funded health care and education has been a cornerstone of Castro's domestic social agenda. Cuba ranks better than many countries, including the United States, among world countries on the United Nations' List of countries by infant mortality rate, which is claimed by Castro's supporters as a success of his regime. Castro and his policies are cited by some as being responsible for Cuba's economic problems, whilst others blame the U.S. embargo. Still others attribute the shortcomings to a mix of these factors.

Let see Castro took power some 50 years ago But you want to to ignore Castro and concentrate on Batista Why You say that Bastista was a puppet of America What did we get from him? Sugar no Prostitutes No there still there and younger now hanging outside the hotel waiting to service a bald pot bellied brit canuck or euro Military base We already had one there and still do But Castro did put up a nice memorial to Bobby Sands and friends telling the Cubans the Brits starved these man to death Might be a good idea if y'all get out of that western country you live in my little revolutionary friend and visit one of these communist countries it well not be so romantic too you Ho and bring you own toilet paper they is a shortage of TP in Cuba

Answer 3

Easy, Batista. I don't like what Castro turned into but he didn't turn his country into a whore house and support racism and other nasty habits. I sometimes wonder if Castro would have turn towards democracy and given up power if the USA didn't back up and help Batista.

Because the US Cuba lobby better known as the gusanos hate Fidel because he is not a stooge of US imperialism and wants Cuba toi remain a sovereign country. Batista on the other hand was a Fascist dictator, foisted on Cuba by US imperialism in order to do their bidding So in effect the Democracy propagated by the US and the Gusanos is in effect Fascism
