Monolitico does not have quite the same meaning as it does in Sovietology.

adj.
Del monolito o relativo a él: monumento monolítico.

Que está hecho con una sola piedra: escultura monolítica.

Que presenta una gran cohesión,compacto,sólido: planteamiento monolítico 
y sin fisuras.

"Sin fisuras" = without fissures.

But the more important question is whether Cuba is "totalitarian". To 
get straight to the point, I am going to demonstrate how ridiculous such 
a charge is.
