Qx: Why does Castro go to bed with a full stomach while the rest, or atleast a large portion of his country starve? How has he been able to avoid the affects of the imperialist dogs? And why in a communist country doesnt he share his magical powers with his comrads? Why did Latin American countries VOTE communism out of power?

In downplaying the people who speak against your ideas by declaring them all brainwashed, you fall pray to the same problems of the people you denounce. Intolerance to other people's ideas is just as ugly when it comes from the left of the political sphere as when it comes from the right.
