RE: Sweden Succeeds In Making Old Disposable Swedes Homeless
Its strange how people who lived under actual communism really hated it :) But even more strange how some people who suffered under communism defends it even after theyve fled to a more caputalist and free country. I know some of those myself....... thanks for your thoughts on this man!
I am so happy to have found this documentary with subtitles in English. This is an example of how history was changed in Cuba after the triumph of the revolution. The military man who leaves at 3:40 to the right of the screen is my great-grandfather, he was the chief of security of the entire prison of which they speak in the documentary and according to the history of Cuba one of the most horrible murderers before the triumph of the revolution. Well, he was assassinated by Che in 1960 and presumably the prison became a school and much later a museum about the murderer who was my great-grandfather and the previous governments ... or so they said. It seems that until the 80 the prison served as a political prison thanks to his position, was located on an island outside of Cuba ... Perfect place to disappear people!
And let's be clear, I imagine that my great-grandfather was not a saint, you can not be if you manage the security of the largest prison in Latin America in its time, full of thieves and murderers. But the story also shows that he helped Fidel Castro in jail, save his life by changing him from a cell and putting him in a hospital room because there were people who wanted to kill him in there ... and he did it because someone asked him and that was the real reason why Che murdered him, so he would not talk and not say who asked to help Fidel Castro in prison ... I'm sure you want to know who was the one who asked for it huh? Three letters and start with C ... the secret that my family kept and was so dangerous is that Fidel was a CIA agent or that seemed
It is not ironic???
Wow. Awesome. Thanks for sharing your story :)
I think your great grandfather was just a human being trying to do his best under the circumstances. I'm very very careful to ever blame individuals. They usually do what they think is the best thing to do for their family. I'll check out the documentary later. Unfortunately I don't have time this weeekend!
It has 2 or 3 parts and it is only about this part of the history of Cuba and the revolution ... keep in your head also that of Fidel being an agent of the CIA and when you get the time take a look at this profile https://steemit.com/@fidel-castro is in English and Spanish ...
Oh! you have put your finger on the wound XD There is only one reason why those people can defend Communism where they lived ... they lived well without working or without much effort, it means that they did not work at all and lived on the government or worked for the government directly. And when they have to really work for the first time, of course, they do not like it and they defend the holidays in communism ... Of course, those holidays cost other people their sweat, not them.
There are a few who will say that they have good memories. Of course I have good memories of my life in Cuba, I can not say I do not but I know black people from South Africa who lived there when Apartheid and also have good memories ... good memories always exist, luckily, regardless of the country or government system that is in force.
A pleasure! :)
