Your key issue was that Castro “jailed political dissidents.” The political dissidents jailed by Castro were supporters of the Batista Regime, who were slavers, fascists, and colinizers working with the United States. The “authoritarian action” you are criticizing was jailing fascists and slavers, this is definitionally implying that you support Castro letting slavers and fascists run free, ergo defending fascism.
It’s fun watching this person berate you for being homophobic over an analogy while wholeheartedly supporting a dictator who persecuted, imprisoned, and forced conversion on homosexuals.
What are you talking about? The point of comparing Fidel’s actions and the commenter’s analogy was to illustrate the severity of Castro’s actions by comparison, not minimize the offensive analogy. They’re also aggressively berating the other person, unlike your genuine attempt at connection.
Your comment feels like bad faith. If you’re genuinely stating that my comment implies that homophobic analogies are justified by Castro’s atrocities, I’ll delete it. I have no interest in offending an entire group of people.
You don’t know enough about the government of Cuba to not like it, as proven by the fact that you think Batista was no worse than Castro. You’re just a brainwashed western fascist who thinks their ignorance is equal to actual knowledge.
I’m not sure you understand that the “political dissidents” you are defending were right-wing death squads, fascists, and slavers. Of course they opposed their slaves and workers rising above them.
I cannot but defend the authoritarian, nay, the stalinistprohibition on using handcuffs in prisons. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing prisoners get what they deserve, to know that they are forced to do what they want to, to know that they have to work if they feel like it.
First off, drop the homophobia. It is entirely unsurprising that anti-communists inevitably resort to ableism, honophobia, transphobia, or misogyny to attack those supporting Socialism, but it’s truly horrible behavior. Claiming I am being “bad-faith” when you resort to homophobic attacks is ironic.
Castro was elected, and did not have absolute power. The people he oppressed were the Slavers, Fascists, and Capitalists that worked with the United States to colonize and enslave the people of Cuba. Castro is labeled a dictator for taking away the freedom to enslave, the freedom to colonize, from the United States and their allies in Cuba.
“Sucking dick” is homophobic because the root is in shame. Shame, because sexual favors are seen as “subservient,” which also has roots in misogyny. Given that I display my pronouns as he/they, it’s pretty clearly directed in a manner that tried to depict me in a “shameful” position giving sexual favors to men.
Given that I am also pansexual, this is worse, though they had no way to know.
I defend victims of Imperialism punished for overthrowing their colonizers and creating a more progressive and democratic system. You didn’t even walk back your homophobia, and I didn’t even attack you once. The fact that you couldn’t offer any proof or counter to my sources further cements your lack of interest in the common good of the Cuban people, rather, it seems you wish to recolonize them.
You’re a fucking moron or a white supremacist if you think Castro was not better than Batista.
And you are as well; thinking that Castro wasn’t a dictator who jailed political dissidents and rivals ala Soviet style.
Don’t be as dumb as a tankie.
A .worlder do apologetics for the fascist Batista regime? It must be a day that ends in Y.
A .ml user defending an authoritarian reigme? Big surprise there.
Criticism of the defense of an authoritarian regime is not the defense of fascism.
Nice false equalivance.

Dumbfuck homophobe, YOU were the one making false equivalences to defend an authoritarian regime.
Lol lol lol.
You got upset that I don’t like the government of cuba. Never have, even before they were authoritarian communist.

Oh, guess you lied about changing your mind and missed me praising the progress of modern Cuba in cementing a much better family code.

Slavers and fascists supporting the Batista Regime were right to be jailed.
So the fact that he did it during his entire regime isn’t an issue?
Buds, that isn’t the argument you think it is.
Don’t be a dumb tankie.
I’m not sure you understand that the “political dissidents” you are defending were right-wing death squads, fascists, and slavers. Of course they opposed their slaves and workers rising above them.
Oh you mean like Castro had as well?
Like every other dictator.
What is it with internet communists sucking authoritarian cock?
I’m not sure you are in good faith here.
I cannot but defend the authoritarian, nay, the stalinist prohibition on using handcuffs in prisons. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing prisoners get what they deserve, to know that they are forced to do what they want to, to know that they have to work if they feel like it.

I think they meant sucking dick like kissing ass, not like sucking dick as a form of punishment. I don’t think it was intended to be homophobic.
Intended or not, it is.
Yeah, not sure how they didn’t pick up on that.
“Sucking dick” is homophobic because the root is in shame. Shame, because sexual favors are seen as “subservient,” which also has roots in misogyny.

Lol, thise who defend authoritarian regimes aren’t one who should be throwing stones. Done with you.

Makes sense that you run away.
