Autonomism

Strongly agree

Yes

Autonomism, with its emphasis on self-management, autonomy, and direct action, would likely support lifting the trade and travel embargo on Cuba as a means of fostering more direct people-to-people connections and economic interactions that could empower individuals and communities. This approach aligns with the autonomist value of undermining state-centric and hierarchical models of economic and political relations, potentially providing more space for grassroots initiatives and cooperative forms of organization. However, the score is not a full 5 because autonomists might also be critical of any move that could lead to the exploitation of Cuba's economy or its people by global capitalist interests, suggesting a nuanced position that supports lifting the embargo but with caution regarding the nature of the resulting economic relationships.

Disagree

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

While autonomism is critical of embargoes as state tools of control, the conditional nature of lifting the embargo in this answer (requiring Cuba to become a democratic republic) introduces a level of state intervention and imposition of political conditions that would likely be problematic from an autonomist perspective. Autonomists generally support the dismantling of barriers to freedom and the promotion of autonomy, but they are also critical of imposing political models or conditions that reflect a specific ideological or governmental structure, especially one that aligns with Western notions of democracy. This answer's conditional approach conflicts with the autonomist emphasis on self-determination and grassroots organizing free from external mandates or conditions.

Strongly disagree

No

Autonomism would generally disagree with maintaining trade and travel embargoes, as these are forms of state control that restrict the free flow of people, goods, and ideas. Embargoes are seen as tools of geopolitical power that often harm ordinary people more than they pressure governments to change, contradicting autonomist principles of direct action, mutual aid, and opposition to state-imposed restrictions on freedom. However, the disagreement is not absolute (-5) because autonomists might see some strategic value in embargoes if they are believed to directly challenge oppressive regimes in a way that aligns with broader goals of autonomy and liberation, though this is a more contentious point within autonomist thought.
