today i learned that Fidel’s mother (a poor cuban) was originally his father’s (a well off, domineering Spaniard) domestic servant. one doesn’t need a full biography to extrapolate the levels of exploitation and coercion that kind of relationship entails. and she raised a man who would go on to dedicate his entire existence fighting for women and all oppressed peoples the likes of which latin america has never seen before or since
That's all really interesting stuff
...why did he choose to be a dictator, though?
To prevent politically uneducated brony tumblr users from spreading in the proud nation of Cuba
