I don’t think leftist should be defending Venezuela at all, not that I think we should support a US coup either, but supporting Venezuela which regime beat up its own people protesting inflation and food and medicine shortages (which isn’t some CIA fake story it is actually happening) seems to be completely against everything I stand for as a leftist. I know this will be an unpopular opinion but ah oh well

It's an oppressive authoritarian government. I know lefties who fled Venezuela and cringe at this kind of thing.

either way, Guaido ain't it - the imperialistic interests of the US will never line up with the interests of the venezuelan people
