I take no pleasure in saying that it's probably thousands, my friend.
Eventually, the Bolivians gave him a well-deserved taste of his own medicine.
If these crypto-commie maniacs ever had the power, we would indeed be put up against walls and shot.
Remember that a liberal icon, to this very day, is Che Guevara, who organized and carried out 100s of firing squad executions for Castro.
True enough, but the liberals doing the iconizing aren't twentieith century Cubans...
I see no reason to believe their chances of getting real traction in twenty-first century America are any better than they ever were in the past...do you?

I said basically your last comment to a parent of a teenager with a Che Guevara tee shirt. The young b$tch gave me the finger, I laughed at her and told her that tee shirt might get her killed in a lot of countries. Her mother just glared at me.
I think most of the horrors of the first year or two of Castro's "glorious" revolution have been swept into the memory hole. Not to say that horrors don't continue but we no longer hear [public] cries of "to the wall!" as we did back then, although his prisons are still full of political prisoners and dissenters, and executions probably continue, but quietly.
Younger Freepers would do well to remember that the first goal of totalitarian regimes when they gain power is to literally destroy the opposition. They do it with prisons, torture chambers, mental "hospitals" and executions. Most of the executions are private affairs: a quick bullet to the brain, a favorite method of the KGB in the bowels of Treblinka Prison; or a quick, quiet mass execution like that of the Czar's family after Lenin's victory.
Castro and various other Marxist regimes including modern radicalized American Democrats, are direct descendants of Soviet totalitarianism. You bet they want to destroy Freepers and any others who threaten their vision of Absolute Power.

I doubt it. Our side is better armed. Most of these liberal moonbats have never served in the military or even handled a firearm. It would be a BIG mistake for them to try and get violent.
You guys need to get busy desining a Free Republic Division flag.
I want to be in the Ann Coulter Regiment.
indeed, He spoke of the pedagogy of el Paredon! (the wall of execution). There are other insights into his pathology conveniently overlooked in Redford's "The Motorcycle Diaries"
"Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!"
Come to think of it, this is kind of what Mr. Kunst said in fewer words but the same intent.
