Government talking point

Conservative accounts trumpet a State Department paper on Cuban influence, leaping from its findings to sweeping claims that U.S. institutions are riddled with communist agents. By portraying left-leaning groups and universities as suspect, they revive Cold-War fearmongering that delegitimizes domestic opponents and justifies crackdowns on dissent.
