If you could liberate Cuba?
Tom Kloppel replied to Cherring109's topic in Questions about Objectivism
I am not sure what resources exist in Cuba that would make it worthwhile to risk my life for. Cuba would not respond to a political leader such as an Objectivist would make. Give it a couple decades of exposure to proper philosophy and maybe... The state in which Cuba is under is completely different than the one in which the US colonies were under. A major component that would be required is free speech. Since you would be unable to backup statements with the proper context to defend them, you would make it no where in politics. A (private) military action might be possible, and I think morally justifiable, however I doubt the expense would be worth it. After the military action you would have to deal with an occupation for a while as the population adjusted to freedom. You would have to attack the opposition with complete moral integrity, similarly to WW2 Japan. Once again, without proper philosophy to fall back on, the Cuban people would likely revolt against you as a Capitalist "tyrant"...
