Tuesday

and collected the farms into plantations for wealthy suporters and american corporations.

fidel instituted "agrarian reform" by returning the farms to the peons. he also redirected the island's resources to education and health care. (we know how conservatives love that!_)

“restitution for owners of property seized by the Cuban government” during the 1959 revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power

reverses agrarian reform and ,, of course,, leaves the peons at the mercy of their historical oppressors.
