    not freely elected

    They definitely aren’t freely elected. You can’t have free elections when the US government is interfering in them by sanctions.

    As stated in the memorandum on the sanctions in the office of the historian governmental website:

    The majority of Cubans support Castro (the lowest estimate I have seen is 50 percent) […] The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship. […] every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.
