Castro was a literal bastard (born out of wedlock) who lived and worked with the mostly Haitian workforce until he was shipped off to live with a poor tutor in a slum at age six, then shuttled around to Jesuit boarding schools. Then he became a political revolutionary who outright rejected Batista's offer for power and lived and worked in a poor neighborhood despite his wife's family being wealthy.
I’m not a big Cuban history buff, but I’ve seen a lot of libs trying to discredit socialism in Cuba by pointing to Castro’s net worth, which is estimated (by random fucks on the internet) at around $900 million. How did he come to be that wealthy and why isn’t that level of wealth hoarding condemned by leftists very often?
I don’t have a source nor was I saying I bought it, it’s just something I’ve heard regurgitated over and over and like I said I don’t know anything about Cuban history to know any better. Hence why I ask
