Pope Francis is Time's Person of the Year......

According to many on the right, it is impossible for someone to hold Marxist views and still be a good person.

Can someone hold racist views or misogynist views or pedophile views and still be a good person? It's all the same thing really, all want to take something from someone who does not want to give it.
 
I'd call them a socialist dictatorship, that is slowly liberalizing its economy. Here's where we get into what you should have realized a long time ago, not everyone has the same subjective opinions on what is and is not capitalism, communism, socialism, etc, etc. So while you would call Cuba communist and I wouldn't, the Pope may call the US and other countries "unfettered capitalist" while you wouldn't.

Cuba is communist no matter what your subjective opinion is. There are different flavors of communism just as there are different flavors of ice cream but in the end they are what they are.

Marxism =/= pedophilia
