Well, why does Castro want to trade with big evil capitalistic American companies?

According to Castro, capitalism is evil.

So logically, he should not want to trade with capitalists.

If somebody criticises me every second of the day, why should I trade with him?

If somebody denounces my beliefs as evil, stupid, and horrible, I am not obliged to trade with him.

The United States is not obliged to trade with dictators. They are not obliged to trade with countries who continually launch verbal attacks against them.

If Castro wants American trade, then he should learn to stop criticising their system. He can still criticise specific US policies, but saying "the Americans are evil capitalistic imperialistic bastards" doesnt do much for his cause.

Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
