The PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization, Ideology, and the High Price of Moral Inconsistency

Jamaica, Ideology, and the High Price of Moral Inconsistency

Jamaica has already lived through the consequences of ideological adventurism—and paid dearly for it.

As a small island nation with limited economic leverage, Jamaica's entanglement in Cold War politics was never a game of equals. It was a high-stakes gamble played by superpowers, in which smaller states like ours bore the cost. Political polarization, economic dislocation, capital flight, violence, and long-term underdevelopment were not abstract outcomes—they were lived realities for an entire generation of Jamaicans.

Today, the average Jamaican earns roughly US $6,000 per year, a sobering reminder that historical decisions made in the name of principle, solidarity, or anti-imperialism can echo across decades. Ideology does not disappear when the slogans fade; it leaves behind structural consequences that ordinary people must carry.

Yet history appears to be repeating itself.

Once again, the People's National Party/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization advocates that Jamaica should posture itself as a "principled" nation aligned in solidarity with self-described socialist states—even when those states are demonstrably guilty of systematic human rights abuses. This position is framed as a matter of moral courage. In reality, it is morally inconsistent, historically reckless, and deeply irresponsible.

The Lessons of the Cold War: Small States, Big Consequences

During the Cold War, ideology was not merely philosophical—it was geopolitical. Superpowers competed for influence, and smaller nations were often treated as proxies rather than partners. Jamaica's flirtation with ideological alignment in that era had predictable outcomes: investor withdrawal, trade instability, diplomatic isolation, and domestic polarization that fueled violence and social breakdown.

Jamaica lacked the economic heft, military power, or diplomatic insulation to absorb those shocks. We were—and remain—a small, open economy dependent on tourism, remittances, trade access, and foreign investment. Ideological posturing did not make us independent; it made us vulnerable.

History has already taught us that symbolic defiance against global powers does not feed people, stabilize currencies, or create jobs. What it does make is uncertainty—an enemy of development.

To ignore this history is not bravery. It is amnesia.

The PNP's/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization Selective Morality

The PNP's/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization's contemporary posture toward countries such as Cuba and Venezuela reveals a troubling willingness to overlook repression, censorship, and state violence so long as material benefits—cheap oil, subsidized healthcare, or diplomatic favor—are offered in return.

This is not solidarity with people.

It is transactional politics with authoritarian states.

In Venezuela, political opposition figures are harassed, exiled, or imprisoned. International observers widely dispute the elections. Independent media has been dismantled. Millions of citizens have fled the country—not because of sanctions alone, but because of economic mismanagement, corruption, and state repression.

In Cuba, fundamental freedoms such as free speech, free association, and political dissent are tightly controlled. Peaceful protesters and activists are detained, surveilled, or imprisoned for expressing views that contradict the state. Independent unions, opposition parties, and free media do not exist in any meaningful sense.

These are not Western talking points.

They are well-documented realities that ordinary citizens in those countries experience daily.

Human Rights Are Not "Western Propaganda"

When confronted with these facts, the PNP/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization often minimizes or excuses them—framing criticism as Western hypocrisy, imperialist propaganda, or selective outrage. This rhetorical move is intellectually convenient, but morally hollow.

Human rights are not a Western invention.

They are not conditional.

They do not belong to any ideology.

The right not to be imprisoned for political speech, the right to organize freely, the right to criticize one's government without fear—these are universal human dignities, not geopolitical bargaining chips.

To dismiss repression because the perpetrator wears a socialist label is not anti-imperialism. It is moral relativism.

When Benefits Trump Dignity

The PNP's/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization reasoning often comes down to this:

Yes, abuses may exist—but look at the benefits.

Doctors.

Oil agreements.

Educational exchanges.

Diplomatic alignment.

This logic is deeply disturbing.

It implies that human suffering is negotiable, that repression can be tolerated if the price is right, and that citizens of other countries are acceptable collateral damage in pursuit of ideological comfort or short-term economic relief.

Social programs do not absolve governments that jail dissidents.

Healthcare does not justify censorship.

Cheap oil does not excuse state violence.

Progress cannot be built on the normalization of oppression.

The Credibility Problem at Home

What makes this stance especially indefensible is the PNP's/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization's domestic rhetoric.

At home, the party presents itself as the champion of:

• The poor

• The marginalized

• The oppressed

• The criminals: the killers, extortionists, rapists, international drug dealers like known reggae Artist Mark 'Buju Banton' Myrie

It claims moral authority in defense of dignity and justice.

But morality that stops at national borders—or bends for ideological allies—is not morality at all. It is selective outrage.

How credible is a claim to defend the oppressed when the same party is willing to excuse the oppression of Cuban or Venezuelan citizens because their governments provide subsidized services?

Poverty does not justify tyranny.

And solidarity with governments is not solidarity with people.

Foreign Policy Is Not a Protest Movement

Jamaica's foreign policy should be guided by consistency and national interest, not ideological nostalgia.

We are not a superpower.

We do not reshape global politics through moral declarations.

We navigate them through prudence, credibility, and reliability.

Positioning Jamaica as a vocal defender of regimes with poor human rights records does not elevate our moral standing. It compromises it.

Worse, it risks entangling us once again in geopolitical struggles that offer symbolic validation but carry real economic and diplomatic costs—costs that politicians will not pay, but ordinary Jamaicans will.

A Betrayal of Our Own History

There is a painful irony at the heart of the PNP's/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization posture.

Jamaica's own history is shaped by struggles against exploitation, domination, and the denial of human dignity. Our national story is rooted in resistance to systems that treated human beings as expendable.

To then rationalize or excuse the abuse of citizens elsewhere is a betrayal of that very legacy.

True solidarity is with people, not with states.

True progressivism requires the courage to criticize injustice wherever it occurs—especially when the perpetrator claims ideological kinship.

Principle Without Consistency Is Not Principle

In the end, the PNP's/PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization stance is not merely misguided.

It is morally incoherent.

It suggests that freedom can be bartered, that repression can be tolerated, and that suffering can be overlooked if the geopolitical alignment feels familiar or comforting.

Jamaica deserves better.

We deserve a foreign policy rooted in:

• Realism

• Consistency

• Respect for universal human rights

• Clear-eyed assessment of national interest

• Anti-criminal/terrorist support

History has already shown us the cost of ideological adventurism.

We paid it in violence, poverty, and lost opportunity.

We should not be so reckless as to pay it again. Mark 'Gummy Bear' Golding and the /PNPLGBTQ+ Criminal Organization are naive, immoral, unethical, and traitors to freedom of speech assembly, Cubans, Venezuelans, and the Jamaican people.
