Depends on the "anti-dengist". I believe most "anti-dengists" (Maoists especially) denounce Cuba due to introducing private property, that or Castro never called his revolution "socialist" but rather "bourgeois democratic", thus Castro cannot be a Marxist-Leninist. This is stupid. Not to mention that Maoists also tend to believe that Cuba is a sugar colony.
Those same "Maoists" would have denounced Mao himself for the idea of New Democracy and the policies he adopted toward the national bourgeoisie. What all ultras have in common is that they refuse to take real material conditions into account, and this results in their inability to conceive of any sort of tactical flexibility as anything other than "betrayal", a straying from the purity of the dogma. They live in a world where reality and the constraints it imposes are irrelevant and all that matters is having the perfect ideas; in short they are idealists.
