[...I have never been to Cuba. I have no personal knowledge of conditions there. It's not up to me to say whether it is good or bad; it's up to the people, who put Castro into power by force and can remove him the same way if they feel the need to...]
You appear to associate Libertarianism with refraining from making judgements, whether rational or not. The belief that all opinions are equally valid is a part of modern liberalism, not Libertarianism. One of the fundamental tenets of Libertarianism is that an individual's rights are not to be interfered with, especially through the force of government, unless his exercise of those rights interferes with the rights of other individuals. In no way is a Libertarian precluded from forming and acting (subject to non-interference) on his own judgements on the actions and beliefs of others, based on logic, reason, morality, right and wrong, intuition, whim, or no basis at all.
