Even the analysis by much of the actual US left has been quite lacking around this imo. The primary line seems to be that this is bad because the actions of the US are imperialist and warmongering which is absolutely true, but it sort of just ends there. There seems to be a shying away from the actual specific conditions of Venezuela and it’s relationship to the US. Instead of solidarity for Venezuelan socialism the best the left here seems to muster is “we shouldn’t bomb you because that’s wrong for obscure reasons”. It just seems hollow and maybe even harder to build a long term movement around.
It’s the imperial core and people might be scared, yes, but avoiding the fact that Venezuela has popular support, communes set up, and has been under siege? Not even trying to convince others?
It seems like the more ML aligned groups are talking about these things at least but they’re definitely not part of the dominant narrative here.
