There was no such thing as Castroism, after all. Only Castro. In the end it all dies with you.
Eventually it will come down to this, my friend: history will note that the people in the American jails at the tip of this island ate better than the average Cuban.

Perhaps the Europeans never heard of the concept of odious debt. They will find out soon enough when the post Castro/communist regime simply cancels all debts and contracts incurred by the Castro regime. And I doubt any US Administration will push the post communist regime to honor them.
Perhaps the Iraqi’s will also take note.
