Certainly his rise was by popular will, but just as certain is that he would not be in power today by that same popular will, if the people were given any choice in the matter. But, Castro does not allow any choice of leadership, it's him and him alone by his decree. The debate of whether or not Castro was a communist is really immaterial. He is, and has been for decades, a self-proclaimed socialist/marxist, a label he applies to himself with no help from the likes of Richard Nixon.
