    What about saying serfs instead of slaves? It’s a term people are more willing to loosely define, but still makes a powerful statement I think

      I think that’s less arguable, but something like “Castro liberated his people and greatly increased their quality of living” is still concise but avoids any semantic distractions altogether.
