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?
To add on, I think you should really look into why certain revolutions are considered “authoritarian”. Firstly, a quick point - it’s almost always non-white countries. The more white-adjacent they are (Cuba has a large population of white latino/a, Fidel Castro was white Latino) the less “scary” they appear to the Liberal hivemind. African, Middle Eastern, Central Asian and East Asian revolutions always get called “authoritarian” even when they are doing the same things that Cuba did, or even less in some cases.
Hence this meme:
Yeah, I get it. I don’t like that meme.
why don’t you like that meme, elaborate. It has scare quotes around “tankies”, it’s a tankie meme pointing out that these are all communists. Self-proclaimed Marxists and Leninists and Marxist-Leninists and USSR sympathizers. People that the average western “leftist” likes to think positively about but not learn too much about. “Tankies” as they would be called today, or “pinkos” or “commies” or “reds” as they would be called decades ago. Tankies is a way of carrying on the anti-communist name slinging to people who consider themselves “left” and think they are “the real socialists” despite them being a new flavor of leftoid (2000-2026) and coming in and trying to take over the domain of “tankies” (historical communists).
