Economic Progressivism

Strongly agree

Yes

Economic Progressivism generally supports free trade and open relations with other countries as a means of promoting economic growth and development. Lifting the embargo on Cuba would open up new markets for American businesses and could potentially lead to economic improvements in Cuba as well. However, some Economic Progressives might have concerns about human rights issues in Cuba, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Strongly agree

Yes

Economic progressivism often emphasizes the importance of engaging with and supporting the development of economies through open trade and dialogue, rather than isolation. Lifting the trade and travel embargo on Cuba can be seen as a step towards normalizing relations and fostering economic growth and development in Cuba, which aligns with the principles of economic progressivism. This approach is consistent with historical instances where economic progressives have advocated for reducing barriers to trade and travel as a means to promote mutual economic benefits and understanding.

Agree

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

This answer represents a middle ground that some Economic Progressives might support. It acknowledges the potential economic benefits of lifting the travel embargo, but also expresses concern about the lack of democracy in Cuba. However, it might be seen as an overly cautious approach by those who believe that trade can be a powerful tool for promoting political change.

Neutral

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

While economic progressivism supports the idea of engaging with countries to promote economic development, the conditional approach of lifting the travel embargo but not allowing trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic introduces a complexity that does not fully align with nor fully oppose economic progressive ideals. On one hand, it recognizes the potential benefits of increased people-to-people contact and cultural exchange through travel. On the other hand, it maintains economic sanctions tied to political conditions, which can be seen as counterproductive to fostering economic development and could perpetuate economic hardships. This nuanced stance reflects a compromise that might be seen as a partial step towards the goals of economic progressivism but falls short of its broader principles of unconditional engagement for economic development.

Strongly disagree

No

Economic Progressivism typically favors free trade and open relations, so maintaining an embargo would generally be seen as counterproductive to these goals. However, as mentioned above, there may be some concerns about human rights issues in Cuba, which is why the score is not a full -5.

Strongly disagree

No

Economic progressivism typically opposes policies that isolate and economically punish countries, as these measures often harm the most vulnerable populations within those countries without effectively prompting political change. The continuation of the trade and travel embargo on Cuba would be viewed as counterproductive to the goals of economic progressivism, which include promoting economic development and reducing poverty through engagement and cooperation. Historically, economic progressives have criticized embargoes for their negative impact on economic development and for exacerbating humanitarian issues.
