hmmmm

well any people (imo) are entitled to overthrow their government ( repressive or not ) or NOT to.

We, the US, frequently choose to weigh in on the side the "people" detest- so it is probably better that WE (the US) stay out of the internal affairs of other countries. Heck, we don't even like the idea of the Chinese lobbying here- it hardly seems fair for us to intervene in even more intrusive ways in other countries.

So if a people are free to do this, it follows that a person should also be free to do this- or not do this. Juan is a person- and should be free to throw OFF the yoke of communism...or not. And choosing to live under communism, as he is entitled to do he is obviously entitled to do all those other things humans do (which are I think recognized in the area of international human rights)- like have families. You can see where I'm going here.
