But didn't they wholeheartedly endorse those AES countries that did exactly the stuff you're criticizing?

And Eldridge Cleaver, a prominent Black Panther Party leader and its "information minister," publicly defended the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. He literally visited Moscow after it happened in 1968, endorsed the tanks, and criticized the Soviets for even letting Czechoslavakia start liberalizing and de-communism-izing in the first place. Other Black Panthers didn't really say much about Hungary or Czechoslavakia, since it largely wasn't relevant to the things they were doing.
