Mao mostly described feckless weasels and backbiters and prideful little worms that go-along-to-get along and are always looking out for themselves before the masses or the struggle.

even if this is your only understanding of liberalism, this is describing the ultra themselves for abandoning actual revolutionary struggles they aren't even involved with because of purity testing. people who aren't revolutionaries themselves, deciding that they are more revolutionary than others, but can't be associated with someone less revolutionary, while the alleged less revolutionary people are actually going through a revolutionary process. this is pure idealism, of the liberal variety.

we can look at Venezuela 11 months after the president was abducted and see a unified party supported by a mass, popular movement.

we don't see any cracks in that reality, despite the cracks in the state itself and its geopolitical position, both the consequences of decades of sanctions more than anything.

for one to be so sure that that they are now a neo colony, entirely controlled by the US, and that Delcy specifically (but somehow not all the PSUV and masses behind her) is a unilateral dictator comprador who has handed over Venezuela, they can only be making shit up. these are the actual defended positions of these folks here, for months, and they are 100% unquestionably made up. they have no evidence, just vibes, that is liberalism
