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?

    I think I once read a comment in Hexbear that “tankie” is usually a pejorative used by western leftists against other western leftists as a disciplining rebuke.

    These sorts are social chauvanists. They do not really engage in political, labor, or social activism outside of their desktops/phones. I think they’re just embarrassed & disillusioned Democrats, perhaps as we all once were, but still side with the nation state as a pillar of identity and moral North star.
