Couldn't it also have come from a genuinely revolutionary Marxist who
considers Castro a Stalinist at the head of a one-party totalitarian
state, as I do? Or from a Trotskyist, whose tendency is banned &
persecuted under Castro?  Plenty of socialists and Marxists despise
Castro, while supporting the revolution he commandeered and opposing US
imperial machinations against Cuba, and we are not all crypto-bourgeois
fools.
