> I'm not aware of any genocides attributed to Cuba

Communist regimes are known for the opacity and media suppression. It's not like they'll tell the whole world about it.

And contrary to what is believed, Cuba is not totally sealed off the world and still relies on capitalism to survive (cigar, rum and tourism), which mainly prevented it from going full North-Korea.

Batista also committed a lot of atrocities from a fairly capitalism-based position in collusion with Cuba’s wealthy landowners. Not that the previous regime excuses the current communist regime, but opacity, media suppression, and human rights violations are of course not exclusive to communism.
Except nobody is wearing Batista shirts.
