They’re a Leninist. Hypocrisy is their super power. The only thing that maters to them is that he attacked the party/dictator. Which is the only unforgivable sin. Every problem with their governments is always somehow the West’s fault. And they are infallible. Zero nuance or irony.
Yes the US has a history of meddling in south America and blockading Cuba. And yes that’s wrong. But blaming that for all their problems is ridiculous. The Cuban government imprisoning those sharing western media that makes it through the blockade etc. Isn’t because of the blockade. It’s because the government is authoritarian. And if those they control get narratives outside the governments approved ones. It makes them harder to control. It’s why Western media narratives are suddenly starting to much closer mimic those of leninist and other dictatorial governments.
I feel sorry for anyone on .ml personally. Their legacy of hate, division, and bootlicking is enormous. I think people sometimes join not realizing how toxic they are.
They definitely do unfortunately. There’s a lot of inertia there still. People on places like Reddit still recommending people join there like it’s 2019.And there are no alternatives.
They’re really trying to figure out reasons to dislike the guy. For some reason, the “leftists” on lemmy.mlhate when a left American politician starts achieving success, and try to tear them down and lie about what a terrible person they are. It’s one of their favorite things; they relentlessly criticize AOC and Mamdani in a way they never would froth at the mouth about Chuck Schumer or anybody who is actually doing real damage.
US blockades are responsible for their financial crises, not for them arresting journalists and dissenters. Also, the quote in the screenshot explicitly states that the US only made things worse.
you are arguing like you are both. the last thing we need is more imperialist war, or any more cia talking points from unsuspecting libs.
i understand why he would adopt the bothsides viewpoint, but it disgustingly hinges on the impending doom the us will bring to the venezuelan people with “maduro” and “democracy” as an obvious excuse. an old one at that.
like they care about anything but oil and other natural resources. a “socialist” saying this precisely now is a red flag.
He literally says US interventionism hasn’t done any good. How are you interpreting this as him wanting to intervene in their affairs?
You can criticize a government without wanting to overthrow them.
yes those dirty brown people in south america can’t do socialism right when its being sieged by the US!
how telling of mr. mamdani.
Didn’t even bother to read the whole quote…
i did.
the US didn’t “make it worse”. the US is the one creating these bad conditions, and it’s about to make things worse for south america.

you guys are precious 😂
Hey, how about Graham Platner’s secret Nazi sympathies? We know he has them, because of the tattoo! I haven’t heard that one for a while.
you mean the fascist jackboot who worked in the abu ghraib concentration camp?
tell me again what makes that guy a leftist. and what makes you not a fascist for supporting it?
A new one! What makes you say that he worked in Abu Ghraib? I did a quick search, and all I can find is a YouTube video by “BadEmpanada.”
an old one! what makes you think an empire’s jackboot with a nazi tattoo is not a fascist?
all i can find is the nazi saying he is not a nazi.
What makes you say that he worked in Abu Ghraib?
Not really a secret lol, and if you haven’t heard it recently it’s because you chose not to listen
you are at least aware venezuela and cuba are in the gutter because of US blockades, not their leadership, right?
US blockades are responsible for their financial crises, not for them arresting journalists and dissenters. Also, the quote in the screenshot explicitly states that the US only made things worse.
should we not arrest far-right traitors and criminals against humanity? i WISH they where shutting fascists up as hard as libs think they do.
is that why you guys let trump run for president (and win) twice?
Yeah, we should. Never said anything against that. Also never let Trump run for president, as I am not American, nor am I a liberal.

You can criticize a government without wanting to overthrow them.
while also implying they are not democracies in the first place.
precisely at the crucial moment the US empire wants to invade them and make their life hell.
theres his political support for invading them “for democracy”
yes, fuck that imperialist pig.
