This spring, Fox News Digital reported the federal government has compiled a hit list of 145 organizations the news agency called a “pro-communist Cuba ecosystem,” consisting of political groups, including the Socialist Workers Party, a number of national and local trade unions and others.

This political assault on supporters of Cuba’s sovereignty was highlighted in President Donald Trump’s presentation to the U.N. General Assembly Sept. 22. “The Cuban regime has also spent decades coordinating with the left-wing radicals and communist networks here in the United States,” he told delegates.

“As our State Department has detailed, they’ve cultivated ties to subversive and radical groups such as the Communist Party USA, Antifa, and the Democratic Socialists of America. Communism will never be coming to America, but freedom will be coming to Cuba,” he threatened.

        Less words, more action. Your compatriots do see OTHERS as a monolith, are you vouching yet again for American exceptionalism, this time to excuse your bubble?
