From searching on this post I found this delicous 2008 adticle + comments, “Castro’s Cuba was no place for a socialist like me”. http://www.spectator.co.uk/essays/all/514326/castroandx2019s-cuba-was-no-place-for-a-socialist-like-me.thtml
Thanks for the link. I remember when a group of American Black Panthers, including fugitive Eldridge Cleaver, went to Cuba where they became celebrities until they started preaching their rhetoric. Castro put them to work in the cane fields. I think all of them left Cuba except one.
