I have a bumper sticker on all my vehicles that reads:

"America is one nation under God.
If you don't like it---LEAVE."
If anyone here wants to copy it, please do so.

I 've had it for decades and get good comments and thumbs up all the time. I've never had one negative comment. Right next to it I have a US Army Retired sticker with 10 hashmarks. I guess that sends a message, too.

I identify as European American. AFAIK, all of my ancestors came from Europe.

It's going to be interesting with the Tokyo Olympics starting shortly to see how many so-called proud Americans take a knee on the dais. You can bet some will use it to make a pro BLM (Marxist group) political statement. Hank Williams Jnr got it right with his song "Take a knee, take a hike"

Anyone who does that should forfeit their medal and be kicked off the team.

Time to reactivate the HUAC. The current bastard child of that committee called the House Judiciary Committee chaired by the toad Nadler (D) is about as useful as teats on a bull and there's no way they would be investigating their own communist party. I think the party went far left in earnest around Obama time, and the radical left have persuaded the others to follow them. Ultimately it will be the Marxists who will either destroy the party, or destroy the country in their quest for totalitarianism.

I know they cut his hands off after execution for identification so obviously the photo was taken beforehand. This is the only photo I found

Which revolution is not bloody?
Castro may be depicted now as modern boogeyman, but take any other revolution as an example, and you will find similar examples of executions. (with or without a trial). BTW Castro is gone, passed away, and is history by now.

In modern Cuba, the last death sentence was carried out 2003, and since then there is moratorium on capital punishment.

Cuba commutes sentence of last death row inmate

Cuba's Supreme Tribunal commutes the sentence of Humberto Eladio Real, the country's last death row inmate, a rights group says.

Fast executions are typical in history, for every revolution, not only communist revoluton.

In USA:
The term "Lynching", or "Lynch Law" probably originates from Colonel Charles Lynch, who implemented "quick justice" in american revolution, etc...

Lynchings & Hangings of America – Legends of America

Execution by hanging was the most popular legal and extralegal form of putting criminals to death in the United States from its beginning.

In French revolution you have followiing example.

Guillotined in the French Revolution: the bloody story through 7 severed heads

Writing for BBC History Revealed, Emma Slattery Williams cuts a path through one of the bloodiest periods of French history, tracking the revolution through the deaths of seven key figures…

From french revolution we even have saying that revolution eats its own children.

Photography was invented only in 19 century, and documented well modern wars, but I often wonder what atrocities would be photograhed if it was invented few hundred years ago, or earleier,

During the French revolution, Robespierre went seriously bloodthirsty and this was his undoing as he met his karma with Madame Guillotine. I would like to see Colonel Lynch come back when America needs him to deal with the many traitors, especially those at high levels politically and financially.

I still think gold is the best investment. A good example of holding value is the one about the wild west when you could buy a new Colt double action revolver for a $20 golden eagle. Today you can still buy the same revolver for the gold in that $20 coin, but, you can't buy one for a $20 note or any other transaction (unless you live in Chicago). I think that's how the story goes, correct me if I'm wrong.

IMO a value or liquid asset hedge. I think the Colt revolver relative value is a good analogy of how currencies work. Gold seems to be a universal currency and is somewhat immune from the inflation pressure caused by printing money. It is of limited quantity and the ability to mine is throttled and limited by the nature of it's scarcity so it automatically works opposite an inflating currency. If alchemy worked, then it would be no different than printed money.
