    Right, it uses the term as synonymous with “focoism”, which was created (or at least formalized) by Régis Debray, not Fidel or Che (albeit inspired by the latter). I don’t know enough about it to make any meaningful comment 😑

      Equality of sex and races is a major tenet of Castroism, hailed by Nelson Mandela as a hero when Mandela made his first trip to a foreign nation as South African president, he thanked and praised Castro for helping to end apartheid. He had done so by sending to Cuban army [sic] to Angola to defeat the apartheid South African government who attempted a takeover after the Angolan civil war. He gave special permission to a Kosher butcher to remain open to this day in order to support the Jewish Cuban community and distributes passover food to the small Jewish minority.
