I don't want to get into the argument, but I would like to tell this story.

In around late 1959 or early 1960 (very soon after Castro came to power, anyway) the Reader's Digest, which can be fairly be described as leaning to the right, had a laudatory article about the heroic revolutionaries who had toppled the brutal dictator, Batista.

... then they found out they were Commies ...

I laughed until the tears ran down my leg.
