Of all the crimes that might make me reconsider my opposition to capital punishment, corruption isn’t one of them. Especially not in a situation where the application of due process is questionable at best. Seriously, by what logic can this be considered “objectively good”? I’m genuinely curious.
At least in today’s Cuba corruption doesn’t appear to be a capital offence. A good thing, too, because they’d have to slaughter millions of people, if we’re going to define corruption as paying, soliciting or receiving bribes and/or stealing from the state. Stealing from the state is practically a national pastime.
As for the positive achievements of the Cuban revolution as a whole… sure, they’ve accomplished some good things, but IMO it takes some serious blinkers to conclude that it’s all peachy.
