Or do they

Get with the times....

Maybe it should be:
"In America, everyone used to have the right to free speech."

Maybe a bit harsh to exactly "praise" Castro.

And maybe the Spanish weren't better before the US won the spanish-american war - but have Americans ever wondered how the US behaved in Cuba, before Fidel had his Putsch ?
It was the whorehouse of the Navy, all good old boys would wash their money there, and it was #1 drug selling place for the Mafia and playground for international espionage, a real playground - indirectly backed by the US government so e.g. the 'mob' would not concentrate on the US mainland. People are not happy under Fidel, but they sure also weren't before: "Rum and Coca Cola, both mother and daughter, workin' for the Yankee dollar"
What will they do with Guantanamo, after it belongs to the US again ? Still neutral territory for torture and illegal imprisonment ?

And this quote justifies what Russia did for decades. Speak out what you will, we will just put youin jail and torture you, but you can say what you want in our free country lol
