The revolution against Batista in the 50s and the rise of Fidel Castro, the goal and the promise that they will have this nationalist capitalist um and democratic and socially progressive society.
If you look at history, there's as much danger of an autocrat coming from the far left as from the far right. I believe the far left is as dangerous as the far right. It's the extremes that present a threat to society.
For a revolutionary regime whose political ideology is premised on martyrdom, the central question is whether these assassinations will ultimately extinguish the ideology or help revive it.
this is a regime that um is essentially a death cult and doesn't have the same motivations as a normal regime has. They view the death of their own people, the martyrdom of their people as a sign of their own sacredness and righteousness.
