I bet those who disagree with the celebrations in the US, celebrated when Thatcher died.

I think you can't really just reduce it to a dictatorship and the repression. There are other elements to consider beyond that. As far a revolutions and the region, the outcome has been far better than those in the region. I wouldn't say that Cuba is ideal or perfect. But in terms of third world south america its and third world dictatorship s, Cuba is probably one of the better examples. Cuba struggled later in the last century from an inability to adapt its self in line with the demise of the soviet union and returning power to the people and with its treatment of minority groups in Cuba. That said communist Cuba compares well to its third world counter parts (a some first world countries)/in terms of education levels, malnutrition, medicine and social provision You are saying Cuba is an example of a better form of dictatorship? I could not disagree more. All dictatorships are wrong. Whilst I agreed with Pinochet's economic policies, I could never describe his rule as better than others in South America because it was a repressive, murderous regime. Castro was a murderous, repressive despot. Sure he sexed up his 'philosophy' and a bunch of people who are attracted to emotive imagery and fanciful bulls*** swallowed his message.
