“No power, no food, no medicine, no running water,” John notes. “So it always goes in a socialist paradise.” That’s Cuba, a model for American leftists from the start, despite a decidedly racist legacy. Cuba’s 800,000 African slaves were more than twice the number in the United States. Cuba did not abolish slavery until 1886 and there was no Cuban equivalent of the historically black colleges in the USA. By some estimates, only one third of Cubans are people of pallor, with two thirds composed of blacks and those of part African ancestry. That profile bears a stark contrast to Cuba’s ruling Communist Party.

Fidel Castro and brother Raul were one generation out of Europe and not a single member of Castro’s revolutionary band was black.  Current Communist boss Miguel Diaz-Canel is white as Frosty the Snowman, and on his watch the regime has added new political prisoners. As Amnesty International’s Erika Guevara-Ross explains, “For decades, Cuba has stifled freedom of expression and assembly by locking up people for their beliefs and opposition to the government.”

Sado-Stalinist Fidel Castro established the revolution for the sole purpose of entrenching Communist power over the Cuban people. The nation remains a veritable isla de la esclavitud – as Cubans call the Isla de la Juventud, formerly the Isla de Pinos – with an all-white Communist dictatorship oppressing a majority black population. The composite character David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama normalized relations with the Stalinist regime, with no demand for democratic reforms, free elections or human rights.

The Castro regime proved so repressive that Cubans would flee at first opportunity, in anything that floats. Many perished at sea but the United States welcomed those who made it. That changed under the Obama-Biden-Harris Junta. “If you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States,” proclaims loathsome DHS boss Alejandro Mayorkas. Cubans are still willing to take the risk. As one explained “better to die on your feet than live on your knees.”

“What Cubans need is the Ceausescu Solution,” contends John, alluding to the happy day when Romanian troops shot the Stalinist dead.  That will require the Cuban military to side with the people and Fidel Castro was well aware of that threat. When Gen. Arnaldo Ochoa returned from duty in Angola, people were chalking up “8A” all over the country. As Orlando Jimenez-Leal showed in 8-A, Castro held a show-trial for Genera Ochoa and fellow officers. Their Communist attorneys demanded that their clients be executed, and they were.

Cuban officers are well aware of this reality but may decide to have a go. As Cubans now understand, they won’t get any help from the Obama-Biden-Harris Junta or wholly owned subsidiaries like the CIA, now openly deployed against anyone who wants America to be great.  Meanwhile, as Cuba falls into darkness, someone might ask Kamala Harris and Tim Walz if Fidel Castro ever did anything with which they disagreed.
