The hidden agenda behind clout-chasing DSA comrades’ Cuba push

Cuba’s communist dictatorship may be living on borrowed time as the island’s power grid crumbles — but the Democratic Socialists of America is making “solidarity” with the regime its issue of the moment.

On Friday, the DSA sent 20 of its members there as part of the lefty “Nuestra América Convoy,” aiming to “show the world that Cuba is under siege, but they are not alone.”

They relaxed in luxury Havana hotels and rode in air-conditioned buses to meetings with Communist Party officials.

A wrecked economy and a grim 67-year history of repression that’s made more than a million Cubans flee in just the last five years doesn’t seem to be something to cheer about.

But the DSA continues to embrace this failure as just another cause through which to expand its network of aligned organizations and local chapters — and to fundraise, too.

Of course, the group that claims Mayor Zohran Mamdani as one of its own is all-in on the Cuban regime’s ideology.

Their shared Marxist worldview sees the United States as uniquely evil, blaming it for Latin America’s misfortunes through what the DSA describes as the “sordid history of imperial violence the US had brought” to the Caribbean.
