    The “dissidents” killed in the revolution were also mostly Batista supporters (so literal fascists) or plantation owners and their security.

    There were lots of public sector workers that fled, but they also tended to be Batista supporters.

    My grandmother worked under a Cuban expat as a teacher in Florida who was administrator under the Batista regime and he was so openly misogynist it was wild.

      yeah exactly, the losing side of the Cuban revolution were a coalition of plantation owners, mafia, and literal fascists. They weren’t just dissenters for no reason.

      If you listen to liberals you’d think Castro was going around personally shooting everyday normal people for holding a sign that says “I respectfully disagree”
