That is not the point, that is after a long edit war, that you seem to
think isn't necessary.  It is still not up in the introduction as one of
the major branches of anarchism.  Review the history.

Wrong, it hasn't gotten worse, at least Batista is no longer
called a dictator, as he once was.  That is how much the clique, did
not want Castro labeled a dictator.  Note that Batista still has a regime,
which has been regarded as POV on other pages.   Batista did not shoot
people trying to escape Cuba, Castro does.  The spanish title and a 
literal translation probably deserves mention in the english version, although
probably not in the intro.

In the english speaking world the cold war was fought against
communism, not a stateless, classless system where all property
is held communally.  It is anarcho-communism not state communism
that should be the subsidiary page.

We would end up having to abjudicate every edit.
