Comparing her to Castro seems in poor taste to me. She's not much of a dictator. Monsters obey/follow Lilith out of respect and appreciation, not out of fear of being imprisoned, killed or tortured if they oppose her, and they are not forced to stay in the mamono realm (I'm aware not being allowed to leave is no longer true of Cuba, but it was for fifty some years). She has a few simple guidelines she wants monsters to follow, but beyond that lets local governments and individuals do pretty much whatever they want. Indeed the fact that she grants so much freedom is one reason the monsters are loyal to her. She doesn't even rule over a lot of monster friendly regions, she just has alliances with them. It's also noted many monsters obey other powerful monsters and humans over her (again, outside of a few broad guidelines that are more due to her influence rather than actual control).

And if Lilith is not benevolent, then why does she seek to make humans the equals of monsters? Recall that in the god's settings humans are below monsters in the rankings of creation, and were forced into that state by having their potential chained. Becoming an incubus or monster girl breaks those chains.
