“The Cuban Revolution is ‘totalitarian’ in all classic senses of the word. It is a single-party system built around a cult of personality where autonomous civil-society organizations are only grudgingly tolerated and that justifies itself with a unifying ideology,” writes left-wing analyst Greg Gardin.
“And since Castro himself has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the individual in history… he will be held responsible after he is gone for the high price paid for his Numantic obstinacy. …. The most damning criticism that can be leveled at a revolution is not that it is repressive but that its repression was for naught.” -
