He asked him if Soviet-style communism was still worth promoting – Castro said it doesn’t even work for Cuba, and that he believed the state had too great a role in everyday life in Cuba. In a wide-ranging interview, Castro criticised Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for denying the Holocaust, saying he was anti-Semitic.
