The Totalitarian Regime of CubaWhen Columbus arrived in Cuba in 1492, he and his predecessors probably never imagined the outcome of this island in the centuries to come. from the conquest of the country, to its independence, to the totalitarian regime established within it, all these great events have made the island what it is today. Before we tell the whole story of the communists, we need to understand how the country came to be, so here's a little background history: Spain had conquered Cuba in 1511 under Diego Velasquez. Frequent uprisings failed to end Spain's harsh rule. From 1868 to 1878, the armed rebellion known as the Ten Years' War occurred, led by plantation owner Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, co-author of Cuba's declaration of independence. After the loss of over 200,000 lives, the revolt ended in a failure. In 1933, Fulgencio Batista led a revolt of the "sergeants" that overthrew the despotic government of General Grarado Machado and it was at that moment that Batista became the most powerful man in Cuba. He was elected president in 1940 and became head of state with powers dictatorial. Years of corrupt government, terrorism and embezzlement by the United States led to an uprising in 1958 under the leadership of Fidel Castro. Batista fled to the Dominican Republic and the Fidelistas took control of Havana. Castro then became prime minister at the young age of 32. At first people applauded Batista's fall and hoped that Castro could bring the country the prosperity he had desired. Unfortunately, within a short time, people realized that the new regime had embraced communism. At home, the Castro regime created the most repressive police state apparatus in the Western Hemisphere. Cuba is like George... in the center of the card... the hemisphere that has been generating fear and terror for decades now. The regime's response to the AIDS crisis was nationwide mandatory testing that led to forced incarceration for anyone who tested positive for the HIV virus. Additionally, Castro is also known for imprisoning homosexuals and transsexuals as “undesirables.” All these incarcerations are mostly based on simple suspicions or rumors. There was another report that a number of prisoners suffering from AIDS rioted on August 19, 1992, demanding better food and medical care. The guards used rubber truncheons, wooden sticks and other blunt instruments. Many AIDS patients were transferred to the maximum security area of ​​the prison. The fate of these prisoners is now unknown. He especially tortures sane political opponents who challenge his beliefs by sending them to mental hospitals.
