The current version of the article says that the Black Spring, in which 75 dissidents were arrested, was "a wave of repression unprecedented." Certainly it's not unprecedented in world history; Hitler, say, or Stalin, did much worse things at one time than to send 75 dissidents to prison, as have many petty dictators in countries smaller than Cuba. But was it even unprecedented in Cuban history, or even in the history of the Castro dictatorship? On whose authority, or by what definition, shall Citizendium declare this particular repressive outrage to be "unprecedented"?

Unprecedented?
The current version of the article says that the Black Spring, in which 75 dissidents were arrested, was "a wave of repression unprecedented." Certainly it's not unprecedented in world history; Hitler, say, or Stalin, did much worse things at one time than to send 75 dissidents to prison, as have many petty dictators in countries smaller than Cuba. But was it even unprecedented in Cuban history, or even in the history of the Castro dictatorship? On whose authority, or by what definition, shall Citizendium declare this particular repressive outrage to be "unprecedented"? Bruce M.Tindall 19:37, 11 September 2008 (CDT)
