Mr. Bill, right wing commentators probably aren't the best political
scientists. Castro wanted set up a democracy but Che Guevara warned
against. It was probably a reasonable idea to set up a socialist state
for awhile as a democracy could have been quickly corrupted. And I
suspect that Che if he had stuck around would have recommended when the
infrastructure was stable enough to move to a democracy.
What Cuba is today is due to US sanctions. Basically it's the US that
created the authoritarian government there though it's rather a joke
that the Cubans don't take very seriously.

Obama Acting Like a Valet — Working for Communists, Terrorists,
Lip-Syncers
by Charles Hurt <http://www.breitbart.com/author/charles-hurt/>18 Dec 2014
So this is what foreign policy by Beyonce looks like.
It’s been two years since the sultry and suave music power couple of
Beyonce and Jay-Z were publicly humiliated across the globe after they
realized it’s not “cool” to visit countries like Cuba run by
totalitarian regimes that sponsor terrorism, steal private property,
jail people for no reason, and freely make critics disappear without a
trace.
No, it’s not “cool” to travel to places like Cuba, financially support
the regime’s tourism industry and pose in a massive ad campaign
broadcast to the ends of the earth showing the world’s most beautiful
couple enjoying all the tiny streets and bright colors and spicy foods
of Cuba, as presented to you by one of the world’s nastiest and most
brutal totalitarian governments.
So Bey Bey and Jay-Z complained to their buddy, President Obama, who
shares their embarrassment over America and this rigid unwillingness
to be totally cool with Cuba. Totally cool with communist totalitarianism.
C’mon, dude! Lighten up! That communism stuff is so old, man.
It reminded Mr. Obama of his Choom Gang days back in Hawaii shooting
hoops, being lazy and smoking reefer all day. I mean, Cuba is an
island, too, man. Uh, isn’t it?
So, now that Mr. Obama literally has nothing more to lose, he flushes
down the toilet five decades of rare principled diplomacy where
America stood with the unjustly jailed, the tortured, and families of
the dead against an evil authoritarian tyrannical regime.
And what is it about this guy and releasing terrorists? Is it their
methods or their ideology that makes him want to free all these beasts?
And the infatuation with communism?
The callow ignorance and communism illiteracy in this country today is
staggering, especially among young people. But when did “liberal” come
to mean “stupid?” When did liberals quit learning history? Have they
really forgotten the millions upon millions of victims around the
world who have been brutalized under these totalitarian regimes?
Truly, President Obama is on the march — against America. The people
have turned on him. So he has turned on us. Full tilt. He has nothing
to lose. And he aims to punish us all for his loss of popularity and
the evaporation of his credibility.
That is why he now puts the interests of illegal foreigners ahead of
legal Americans. He puts the interests of terrorists ahead of law
abiding, freedom-loving citizens. The interests of communists ahead of
free market entrepreneurs.
And so he sits down for an interview with /People Magazine/ to
complain that America is still so racist that he once walked out of a
restaurant only to be mistaken for a valet.
Well, you know, if you don’t want to be mistaken for a valet, stop
acting like a valet. Especially a valet working for terrorists,
communists, and really terrible songstresses who can only sing the
National Anthem if they lip-synch it.
