Women had less rights, there were seeking to be equally free to men.
Cuban revolutionaries were totalitarianist? wha? Batista and Machado were Fascist, Marti was definitely pro-freedom. But Castro was a sort of Marxist and later Socialist. He sought to make people equal, by bringing the poor up and the rich and middle class down. He did some good things for Cuba like make them a truly sovereign nation, out of US control, raising the standard of living enormously, etc, but he did some bad things like reduce civil liberties. But h's not totalitarian.
Anyway, history aside, what point are you trying to make here? The point I am trying to make is labels are arbitrary and often outright wrong. For example, the person who hates liberals hates neoliberals, the big government advocates of today's politics. They are very unlike classic liberals. Classic liberals are closer to the modern day Green Party, which advocates personal freedom. The big government advocating neocons of today are also very unlike classic, small fiscal government,pro personal freedom conservatives which are closer to the modern day Libertarian party (although they were not as extreme economically). So, arguing who earned us the freedom we have today is kind of silly. Most everyone here can agree that we need more personal freedom and a smaller government, and that most Democrats and Republicans suck. They really aren't very different anyway.
