Theres this image floating around with regards to how “rich” Cuba was before “Castro made it poor.” But what these images nor their posters never tell you is the history of Cuba before the revolution.

Classrooms barely had enough enough money to maintain a sustainable environment for learning. It was so bad that children often lacked tables and chairs. In Cuba today, education is provided for free by the government.

The island infrastructure was beyond abysmal, especially in the more rural areas. People had to walk for miles on foot to get to a hospital. Many died before they even got there. Nowadays in Cuba, hospitals are built in all regions, and doctors are required to provide services to the mountainous and rural regions of the nations.

Not to mention abject poverty was at it’s highest during the Batista regime. Nowadays in Cuba, these shantytowns no longer exist. Housing, health, education, and labor are fundamental rights.

What about Cuba’s rich? Well, you’re bound to notice a distinct pattern between who were the wealthy and who were the servants. And it will give you a perception as to why so many Cuban exiles were mostly white Cubans, not Cubans of color.

Cuba before the revolution was a neo colony of the USA, it’s wealth was sucked from the nation to fill the pockets of American businesses, and turned Cuba into a segregated slaver nation that produced nothing but sugar cane for the Americans only, and which was managed by American and Cuban mafiosos and casino owners.

The Cuban Revolution brought justice to the impoverished and working peoples of Cuba. Their standard of living and access to necessities post-revolution is tremendously greater than that of the first world, even while facing crippling economic sanctions imposed by the USA for decades.

Anybody who promotes a Cuba before Fidel wants the nation to regress back into a segregated colony, a Caribbean Las Vegas ran by the Cuban and American mafia, and built by masses of slaves and the impoverished.
