Does it have to about Castro himself or could it be about for example, "the Castro idea of taking matters into one's own hands."

No it has to be about him. I already have one:

"I went to Cuba in July 1991, and I drove through the streets with Fidel Castro. There was a great deal of cheers. And I also waved back believing that these cheers were for me. Fidel was very humble; he smiled but he never said a word. But when I reached the square where I had to make some remarks to the crowd, then I realized that these cheers were not meant for me, they were meant for Fidel Castro. Because everybody forgot about me, and was really aroused by Fidel Castro. Then I realized that here was a man of the masses."
-Nelson Mandela

Castro and Che killed soldiers during the revolution. They killed American paramilitaries during the Bay of Pig's invasion. They killed White South African soldiers in Angola. They have never killed civilians. Cuba is one of the only states in the world that has never once fired on civilian demostrators.

Everyone who Castro and his men and women have killed have been armed enemies of the working class.
