This covered the whole hysteria over that rather well:

An excerpt on his words (similar to what he mentioned at the debate last week - emphasis mine):

Looking closely at his words, Sanders made a nuanced statement recognizing both the errors of the Castro regime and the gains made during the Revolution. He stated to Cooper, "We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?"

@Krazy_Kirby is on quite the misinformation campaign, but you could tell that since she's/he's merely regurgitating talking points instead of engaging in any substantive thought or debate on the subject. Trolls like that are best ignored.
