State Department accuses Americans of being communists

State Department accuses Americans of being communists

Marco Rubio accuses many Americans of having ties to communists

By Lynda Carson - July 24, 2026

Above is a March 5, 1960 photo of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, before he was assassinated with the help of the C.I.A., in Bolivia during 1967. As an American cult figure, posters and photos of ‘Che Guevara’ may be found all across the nation, including in the offices of many attorneys fighting against the oppression and persecution of their clients.

Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism

That’s right. In a recent extraordinary bizarre July 21, 2026, 100 page report called, “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism,” the State Department, and Marco Rubio has alleged that many Americans are communists, or have ties to communists. The bizarre report contains the names of 40 prominent American activists, elected officials, lawyers, and others.

The bizarre State Department list includes the names of Congresswoman Maxine Waters, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, Ben Cohen co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, and many others. The full list may be found further below.

Reportedly, “The 100-page report claims Cuba’s government has “infiltrated the highest reaches” of U.S. government, “recruited and cultivated generations of American activists” and “backed an unprecedented wave of left-wing terrorism on American soil.” Cuba’s efforts have “turned America against itself,” according to the report, which approvingly cites Red Scare-era “blacklists” and the work of Rep. Joseph McCarthy.

The report — released days after the Trump administration’s summit on “political terrorism” and escalating efforts to investigate and prosecute left-leaning groups — goes on to directly name more than three dozen groups and political figures, including the Democratic Socialists of America, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Ilhan Omar, among others.

DSA, with a membership that has seen a growing number of electoral victories, is listed under a section labeled “front groups and fellow travelers.” The report also suggests Cuba has influenced, directly or indirectly, Black Lives Matter uprisings after George Floyd’s murder and antifascist protests against the Trump administration.

Critics fear the report is being used as a pretextual argument for military actions against Havana’s communist government, as Trump administration officials increasingly crack down on legitimate political opposition from the left.”

Additionally, within the last 2 days the convicted felon President Trump claimed ‘communists’ want to ‘blow up Mount Rushmore’ at a bizarre rally he attended, without offering any evidence to back up his preposterous claims of B.S.

Buena Vista Social Club

Famed musician Ry Cooder played some music with many Cubans in a film directed by Wim Wenders called ‘Buena Vista Social Club’, a beautiful film enjoyed by millions of Americans, that may be seen by clicking here, or here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzf_9cxd4NM . This possibly means that the State Department and Marco Rubio, may want you to believe that all the Americans who loved the film ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ are communists, or may be linked to communists.
.
Below is a list of persons, politicians, organizations, journalists, groups, or others that have reportedly been accused of being communists, or accused of associating with communists by the State Department. The accusations were made in a State Department report released on July 21, 2026, called, Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism.
