We the undersigned are leftists and progressives who do not feel it is productive or prudent to criticize the Cuban government at this or any other time.

We believe that the US government continues to undermine the independence of the Cuban people, and therefore any action the Cuban government takes is fine by us.

We do not support the death penalty, except when it is employed by socialists or Marxists.

We favor freedom of speech, association and assembly for ourselves, but not for those who should be grateful to live in a socialist country.

If we lived in Cuba, we would spy on our neighbors and report any suspicious activity to the government at once.

We believe in the wisdom and fairness of the Cuban Communist Party, and feel that it is one and the same as the Cuban people.

We support Fidel's slogan, "Socialism or Death!"

We deplore those "leftists" who have the nerve to tell the Cuban government what they think, unless it is wholly supportive of the Party's line.

And above all, we will overlook, rationalize and explain away any and all contradictions and hypocrisies evident in the Cuban leadership. The goal of a progressive future demands it.
