All you need to do is to point to the million+ Cubans who escaped his iron fist rule who were out in the streets celebrating as soon as his death was announced. Many of whom left family members behind who were incarcerated under his draconian laws.

Castro went the way of most revolutionists. Start with a noble ideal, gain some traction, become powerful and influential (and immensely rich), and then do everything possible to keep the power at the expense of your ideals, your country, and its people. Damn the torpedoes.
