Well it wasn't hard to see that if he couldn't do business with one of the 2 only players in the market, he would have to go to our competitor. He was a revolutionary who turned Marxist in order to do business with the other side.

Why is Castro still a Communist even after the Soviet Union fell?
At some point you kinda have to realize that Castro supports Communism, even before he assumed power.

North Korea and Cuba are the only two nations in the world that are fully communist, where everything is nationalized and no (legal) markets exist.

They really are relics of another time.

While China still has massive state bureaucracies and monopolies, they have allowed market reforms.

It really is cruel that North Korea and Cuba do not follow suit, simply because their leaders are scared to death that they will lose power and influence.

And where have I made a silly comment? I said only in theory communism works

Nope.

the right of the workers, a no god or religion society in theory makes sense

Not to me.

Cuba has been expanding several free-market reforms in the last couple of years (and it had stopped being fully communist in the late 80s/early 90s, when the subsidies from the Soviet Union ended).
