As part of the Trump administration’s continuing attack on left-leaning groups,
the US state department has listed several activists and organizations as
“front groups and fellow travelers” for Cuba,
including Hasan Piker and Amazon Labor Union founder Chris Smalls.

In a 100-page report released on Monday, the state department denounces Cuba as the
“capital of 21st-century communism”,
accusing the Cuban government of carrying out a “campaign of subversion” that has
“infiltrated the highest reaches of the US government, recruited and cultivated generations of American activists [and] backed an unprecedented wave of leftwing terrorism on American soil”.

The state department report alleges that the so-called campaign is
“designed to turn America against itself”
and singles out several left-leaning activists and organizations,
including the Democratic Socialists of America, Isra #Hirsi – the daughter of Minnesota Democratic representative Ilhan #Omar – New York City mayor Zohran #Mamdani, and journalist Amy #Goodman, citing their criticism of US policy toward Cuba or participation in Cuba solidarity movements.

Describing the DSA, of which Mamdani is a member, the report says the organization
“serves as a particularly potent illustration of the ideological victory of Cuba’s effort to position itself as the spiritual capital of Third Worldist radicalism”.
It accuses the DSA of maintaining a “fierce, almost religious commitment to the cause of the Cuban regime
– not because the group is controlled by Cuban agents, per se, but because that commitment is now simply the de facto policy orthodoxy on the American far left”.

Trump has doubled down on similar messaging in recent days, using the term communism at political rallies and presidential engagements alike.
