Style Over Substance: Why Fidel Castro’s Revolutionary Chic Was a Fraud

Joe Klein, TIME Magazine

Excerpt: "Back in 1975, I strayed from the official tour and went to a Catholic church in Havana looking for dissidents. I found a man who had been imprisoned and tortured by both the right-wing dictator Fulgencio Batista and the Castro regime. I asked him what he thought American policy toward Cuba should be. “End the embargo!” he said. “Recognize us!” The Castros needed the American Satan and its embargo as an excuse for their socialism-induced poverty and martial law. They would never be able to withstand the tide of freedom–and commerce–that would wash over the island." http://time.com/4587703/style-over-substance-why-fidel-castros-revolutionary-chic-was-a-fraud/
