The Left Sees the Cuban Light

Kevin of Wizbang has an excellent and interesting post on a letter written and signed by numerous writers of the "democratic left" to the New York Review of Books.

Seems the "left" has finally realized that they shouldn't be associated with a regime such as Castro's. Here's the kicker:

By its actions, the Cuban state declares that it is not a government of the left, despite its claims of social progress in education and health care, but just one more dictatorship, concerned with maintaining its monopoly of power above all else.

Umm...mmkay. So one of the only surviving communist countries in the world is now not to be considered "leftist." Doesn't this seem ridiculous?

Scott of Burton Terrace also chimes in.

More Orwellian double-speak... every socialist failure is immediately relabeled...
