Idk, Fidel might not meet your definition of maniac, but he threw enough gay people and political dissidents into “work” camps (where you were worked to death, but “totally not death camps”) for me to call him a maniac.
Sure, later he said whoopsie daisies, but imo to do it in the first place he had to be a maniac.
I don’t think Castro was a maniac by any means, but I think he does show that uncontested power is a dangerous thing to wield. All your preconceptions and prejudices become principles, and anyone working against them is clearly and ontologically evil.
Well we’re just going to have to agree to disagree, I have errands to run IRL so I can’t stay and argue too long about his maniacal nature or lack thereof. Instead I’ll leave you with this list of maniacal shit he was responsible for I just found through a quick search.
It’s enough for me to count it, whether it’s being a maniac or power making you act like a maniac, it feels like splitting hairs and I’m comfortable agreeing to disagree.
