The revolution is more than a government or a man. To keep going, one needs to absorb the hits in hopes of striking back later.
Yeah, I hate all the American leftists saying Venezuela 'has betrayed the revolution' or whatever, including ze_squirrel on twitter. This is a strategic retreat. If they really were betraying the revolution, Delcy would immediately sell off everything in the country like Maria Corino Machado constantly said. Instead she is cooperating with the US on its oil shipment demands but is preserving the rest of Venezuala's system. If Delcy was as inflammatory as Maduro, she would get regime changed in operation Venezuela Boogaloo II.
zel_squirrel in 1918: Lenin betrayed the Revolution by succumbing to the demands of an imperialist bully by signing the Brest-Litovsk Treaty.
Was Trotsky any better? (Honest question I don't know much about Trotskism vs lenninism)
Well, what I described was basically Trotsky's position.
Ohhhhh, ok.
