DAILY BRIEF: Castro’s Revolution to Reagan’s Rollback & What it Means For You

Castro didn’t just overthrow Batista, he opened Cuba’s doors to the KGB, ushering in Soviet advisors, oil, and 40,000 troops by the ‘80s. Che Guevara played the Marxist missionary, exporting revolution (and firing squads) from Congo to Bolivia, yet college kids still wear his face on T-shirts. Castro’s “literacy crusade” was a Marxist indoctrination scheme, replacing Scripture with Das Kapital. The Bay of Pigs was a gutless failure, JFK’s hesitation leaving 1,400 exiles to die and signaling weakness to Moscow. By 1962, Havana was a Soviet launchpad, nuclear missiles just 90 miles from Miami.

Vietnam became communism’s psywar lab, Ho Chi Minh (Kremlin-trained, Beijing-backed) turning battle losses into propaganda wins while American POWs endured Maoist brainwashing. Africa bled too, Cuban troops in Angola, Marxist “liberation” in Mozambique and Ethiopia, and China’s mineral grabs in Tanzania. The U.S. stumbled, containment failing, until Reagan’s Grenada victory in ‘83 finally pushed back. This history screams a warning: evil thrives when good men falter. Today, Marxist ideas still creep into our schools and culture, we must stand firm in faith and freedom.
