"Fidel Castro was a Socialist, he was never and never claimed to be a "liberal""
Who on earth said he did - certainly not me.
Castro and Guevara were national liberationists who were driven into the arms of Marxism by the behaviour of the US and the preparedness of The Soviet Union to offer them assistance
Call me 'politically challenged' when you have read up the subject
Castro kept the faith with Cuba despite the U.S.'s attempts to bring it down
For the record - the only Cuban Gulag is still operating in Guantanamo.
