WalterMitty, you nincompoop, 'land-grabbing' is no criticism - after all the land was grabbed in the first place by the current 'owners', whether United Fruit or Spanish colonialists.  You need to get over this ridiculous idea that ownership has any validation other than power.

so the government should take your parent's properties and redistribute it to poors?

Well, 'should' has nothing to do with it, WalterMitty.  The point is that said distribution, or 're'distribution, is just a matter of political power, not any sort of permanent 'right'.

No doubt they were living the American dream, running casinos, brothels, bars, and hotels legally and peacefully in 1950s Cuba. 

Of one thing you can be sure, angus - that American is anti-brothel.
