I bet you think the Chinese red was due to communism.

>>1785365
Because the Anti-Spic revolution was adopted as a proletarian one.

well it has a star and the color red on it. good enough?

Cuba revolutionary movement was not comunist from the start, Castro was looking for USA support but after he was rejected the other super power intervened

Fidel Castro seems to have been a Marxist/communist since before the revolution, but Cuba was always Catholic and not really leftist, so being a good politician he first looked for an arrangement with the US, a way of pacific living
then the US made very clear that they weren't for it and Castro made his ideologies clearer, but at that point he was sending Guevara for a lot of diplomatic talks in Soviet countries already

communism/socialism gets mixed up with nationalism.
Just look at Chavez and muh Bolivar in Venezuela.
