I think it's because they reached a point of American hatred (no judgement there) that they support form of resistance against the American world order, even if that resistance is in the form of dictatorships with horrible human rights records (they delude themselves to believe these countries are paradise however).

Thats why a lot of them still lick Russia's boot, despite being thoroughly capitalist and fascist. Any and all resistance against America.
