FYI Fidel Castro died with a personal estimated wealth of $800 million.
Truth be told worldwide, this is why I hate labels. Even Hitler once he consolidated power, became a very rich man by forcing his population to buy "Mein Kompf". It wasn't the reason he rose to absolute power, but once in that seat of power, he had the power to force Germans to buy his propaganda.
There is no power in past or present history, that does not have wealth, friend or foe alike, open or closed state, all top powers invest in the global market. It always takes money and resources to keep power, regardless of autocracy, theocracy, dictatorship, open or closed state.
Not remotely what I asked you, but ok.
And Hitler didn’t force people to buy ‘Mein Kampf’. He didn’t have to.

Yea ok "He didn't have to" because he had already put fear into people that if they didn't those who didn't buy it, would be outed by others who supported him if they noticed they didn't have a copy.
Yes he did force people to buy it by proxy of indoctrination, brain washing.
Just like you can train a elephant or lion or tiger in Ringling Brothers.
