Although Alpha 66's power began to wane in the early 1980s, it never formally disbanded and still maintains a weak presence in the Southern United States.[3] As late as 1995, Alpha 66 members claimed to be launching "drive-by" attacks on Cuban tourist beaches.[8] The Miami area is home to some of the last active Alpha 66 cells.[2] There are many Alpha 66 websites in operation today, however; most are old and have not been updated since the 1990s or early 2000s. One such website can be found in the "External References" section of this page. Alpha 66's doctrine of violent change in Cuba has largely been overturned in favor a peaceful reforms and coexistence between the Cuban government and Cuban exiles.[6] Alpha 66 is an acknowledged terrorist organization and as such has no official sponsor, nor is there an official figurehead for the group.[6] The end of the Cold War, death of Fidel Castro, and warming of relations between the United States and Cuba has made Alpha 66's reason for existing largely nonexistent, especially when paired with the change in popular opinion as to how to bring about change in Cuba.[7] Despite appearing as though Alpha 66 will be on the way out, it has managed to maintain some level of relevance and appears in local news every now and again, but this source of publicity and relevance is also beginning to dry up, leaving Alpha 66 to quietly dissolve like so many other anti-Castro organizations created after 1959.

Answer:

probably being against the united states and anti-independence/democratic

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cuban dissident movement is a political movement in Cuba whose aim is to replace the current regime with a democratic form of government. According to Human Rights Watch, the Cuban government represses nearly all forms of political dissent.
