Because there was a "revolution" and yet Guantanamo still sits there, Castro just looks like an Hegelian pawn to me, used to set up a "scary" Communist government minutes from the U.S., to shake the boogieman at Americans, as part of setting up that dialectic. I also wonder if the Bay of Pigs invasion was intentionally botched to throw shade on Kennedy and keep the "Commies" in place. Castro did kick out the Mafia that ran the casinos, the hookers, and the drugs. Also, the "elite" with the money booked passage, like the people who owned the sugar plantations, modern-day slavery, the downpressors. I thought I read the Bush family owned one or more, but a quick search turns up nothing. Interesting that Jeb ran Florida at one point. Also, I've been seeing in these historical events that it looks like one Mafia was becoming problematic, so it got replaced with a competitor.
