"At least you don't see death squads and body dumps in Cuba."

On the contrary, yes we do. That's been the norm ever since Castro came to power years ago.

"...Can't exactly say the same for El Salvador or Guatemala or Nicaragua (before the "communists" took over) or Chile etc."

The Sandinista's, the Contra's, the FARC, etc followed guerrilla tactics that Che laid down 25 years later. They were just as brutal, just as shrewd and just as misguided as their Communist "allies" were 35 years ago. And it got them nowhere (except for, maybe, a former Sandinista rebel leader elected as President).

"....We declared war on him and drove him out of the community of nations."

True, but Castro didn't want to work with us on the issue of nationalization. Both sides didn't bend, and the rest is..well.."history".

"..I don't see Forbes abusing China's leaders with lies and innuendo regarding their "secret personal fortunes"."

No, but you see plenty of news outlets berating the country for it's numerous...numerous...numerous human rights violations (particularly in Tibet).
