IOW, LHO was a radical leftist seeking, among other things, to curry favor with Castro's Cuba and its help getting a transit visa to allow him and his wife Marina to return to the USSR. LHO was not a right-wing nut job manipulated by Walker's pamphleteering, other than in reaction to try to eliminate Walker through force of arms.

That said, I agree largely with your overall point.
