wait, Frank, 

According to you, Batista didn't put people in prison?

Fulgencio Batista imprisoned thousands and thousands, …those he didn't kill outright.

Batista carried out wide-scale violence, torture and public executions; ultimately killing up to 20,000 people.

Yeah, Frank, hold up Batista as an example.  Compare and contrast.

The United States supplied Batista with planes, ships, tanks, and the latest technology, such as napalm, which he used against the Cuban populace.

Batista established lasting relationships with organized crime, notably with American mobsters Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano, and under his rule Havana was a corrupt "Latin Las Vegas".


The Batista government received financial, military, and logistical support from the United States.

The Batista government worked hand in hand with many American corporations to exploit lands and workers in Cuba.
