The US did nothing "good" in or for Cuba. The US blockaded the island, isolating it from the rest of the world after the Bay of Pigs, with no trade or cultural exchanges. It has over time overwhelmingly increased its poverty and diminished its future capabilities.

Cuba was state capitalist but now has some aspects of private capitalism. Communism has no classes or rulers or money.
One of the biggest reasons that Cuba failed to rise up again, was because Castro didn't want them overflowing his dictatorship. He needed to be supported.
He brought some drastic economic, social and political reforms.
I'll just give you some key points on the topic: -This was during Castro's reign in Cuba -The soviet union had been doing all these things for Cuba, so they basically asked Castro, "hey, can we put some missiles on your land and aim them at the US...just in case we ever need to use them" and you have to remember that both the USSR and Cuba are not digging the US right now. -So we are getting suspicious of Cuba, so we fly some planes over to check to make sure everything is doing alright, and what do we see but missiles? -We do not like this one bit, but luckily, Kennedy was able to get the missiles removed from cuba. -One of the biggest things to keep in mind: If they would have used their missiles, we would not be here right now. and imagine the state of panic that everyone was in because of this issue. hope that helps!
The US put embargos in place. Some of them were supported by the United Nations. The US continues to enforce an embargo on trade and goods to and from Cuba.

Castro felt threatened by the US due to their attempts to undermine his leadership and socialist regime in Cuba. The Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 heightened tensions between the two countries, leading Castro to see the US as a threat to his government's survival.

Che comes from Cuba. He was Fidel Castro's right hand man when Castro over threw the government of Cuba in the 1959 revolt. Che was actually a brutal revolutionary famed at the time for killing women, children and soldiers indiscrimintly. However recent propanda has tried to make him out to be a hero of the revolution. It is an interesting attempt to rewrite history but some of us old folks have pretty good memories.
In a Dictatorship, power is held by a single person or a small group. Some famous dictatorships have been Fidel Castro in Cuba, Chairman Mao in China, and Adolf Hitler in Germany.
