He also ended up in the same position as Tito where he had to keep a bunch of different racial and ethnic groups from fucking killing eachother. Which is just s fun combination of shitty. Though as I understand it he did set things up before his death which is why Cuba is currently liberalizing on social issues and doing reforms, but its still too early to tell whatll happen with them.

Hopefully the sanctions will be lifted and relations will thaw with the US and Cuba can show what theyre capable of, itd be kinda neat if they turned into the economic heart of a Caribbean renaissance cause that region needs soem fucken hope.
