I... really do not know what you mean. Stalin was an atheist. He ran an atheist five-year plan in Russia. He got clergy either shot or sent to concentration camps... Whatever else you're trying to imply is you trying to rewrite history.
I have no idea what he meant to begin with. It was something I scribbled quickly, but could add Polpot, Assad, Amin. The list of people usurping power in the last century is long.
Chavez+Maduro 25 and counting. And Trump is following Chavez's playbook just at an accelerated pace: control of supreme court, dismantling any control in government, replacement of career staff by loyalist...
Whenever I think of pinochet I think of Neruda being poisoned. Sad to see these dark days reminiscent of a time when poets getting poisoned is coming back.
In that case it ended "early" because of an overwhelming military force from the outside. That's something that isn't going to happen in the case of the US :/
Fidel and Raul Castro have been in power since 1959. This mistake took Cuba from being the second or third largest economy in America to the last. Only one mistake that changed Cuba forever.
Cuba never was a developed/complex economy. This is the same kind of mistake people in Latin America make with Venezuela and Argentina. Yeah those countries had a few years with large fortunes invested to exploit the raw materials but they never last long.
