    In all my years I’ve never heard anyone claim that Castro eliminated slavery (in the classical, non-wage sense anyway), and it never crossed my mind. The implication that Cuban workers weren’t being exploited in an extremely capitalist, basically-slavery, hellhole though is obviously disingenuous.
