Reply to comment by F1ackM0nk3y in When it comes to Cuba's military victory at the Bay of Pigs, does Che Guevara deserve any credit or should it be assigned exclusively to Castro's leadership? by Anglicanpolitics123

And before the invasion he visited the area and stated that if the US were to invade, they’d invade here.

He and Che both helped to provide this historically neglected area with doctors and engineers to build schools to win the people over.

Classic authoritarian dictator MO. Chavez in Venezuela indoctrinated children by having hungry school kids put their heads down and pray to god for food and find nothing when they opened their eyes; then had them pray to Chavez and find food before them when they looked up again.
