Asking because some of them supported Cuba a few weeks ago but now Cuba is enemy #1 and the US just killed 32 Cuban officers who were directly defending Maduro as his personal guard.

It kinda seems like you can’t be an enemy of Venezuela and also a supporter of Cuba so like… Are there any states left that these self-identified leftists still support at all?

      Well I had it in my head that they at least nominally thought Cuba was good but now I don’t even know. Their seems to be a complete avoidance of the topic when I bring up Cuban officers were Maduro’s entire guard, like they don’t want to consider that a country they don’t see as bad were so supportive of Venezuela, they don’t want to think about why.

        I noticed the same thing. It seemed pretty common to find “leftists” aka liberals who would call Maduro a dictator, but voice support for Cuba prior to this. They just don’t have a full understanding of imperialism or socialism, or the “leftism” they claim to believe.
