Life for a cane cutter got massively better after the Cuban revolution. I don't think people realize just how bad it was on plantations under Batista.

Yes but specifically for cane cutters life massively improved quite quickly then stalled out. Insanely brutal slavery to literacy, basic health services, and enough food is a big improvement. Don't have to love the Castro regime or what they did other places to recognize that.

Sorry, Cuban history is one of my niche interests and I go a little overboard on points because of how many weird Castro was perfect vs Batista was actually good people floating around having cursed discussions.
