2023: But do you condemn Hamas?

2026: But do you condemn Maduro?

"Ummmm Maduro commited election fraud in 2024 according to credible evidence."

Alright, for a moment, let's say that there was credible evidence of this fraud or whatever.

Would the opposition, whose claiming to have won, make Venezuelan's lives better? The ones who are fanatically loyal to Israel? The ones who literally want yo sell off trillions of dollars of infrastructure, land, and resources to foreign powers? The ones who want to dismantle the expanding numbers of self governing communes (really democratic there buddy). The ones who want to cut all social welfare which yhe most poor Venezuelans need every day? The ones who are literally requesting that the US and Israel (becuase fucking of course) to occupy their country in exchange for the majority Venezuelas assets?

No fucking normal person would say these people are anything but ghouls, but your chomping at the bits to have then assume power over Maduro? What's better a brother you don't choose who yells but never hurts you, or a friend you choise but who beats you for your money? Does the fact that you chose your friend make them better then your brother who you didn't choose.

This is not even delving into the fact that US sanctions essentially make the democratic process (even limited sham of liberal democracy) completely null and void. US sanctions essentially holds a population hostage and doesn't allow them to discuss internal affairs because the looming shadow of economic warfare is obviously going to dominate the national discussion. They force a country to ask "what should we do for the US" instead of "what should we do for our country" which deligitmizes the whole idea of self determination in the first place.

It's basically a universal agreement that sanctions are economic warfare. So allow us to elaborate on that thought process. In open warfare, especially invasion, does any nation allow for a sector of soceity to capitulate to the invader? No, they outlaw the practice and suppress those who dissent. Yet nations under sanctions are lambasted for doing the same thing when being economically warred upon.

Frankly, Maduro didn't suppress the opposition enough they shouldn't have even been allowed to participate in the first place! The opposition is funded and backed by the US, directly linking them with the aggressor nation. That alone would be more then enough to disqualify during an invasion.

The only reason someone can have for opposing Maduro's "suppression of the opposition" is if they support the opposition. Unfortunately liberals and my dear western leftists (who I unfortunatelyhave to contend with) are not so honest about their genuine intentions. Or they are still not fully understanding the scope of what politics and anti-imperialism entails.

Us Communists do not hide our beliefs when we support opposition. When we support the trade unions and socialists in Ukraine, we do so not because of some vague "Democratic process" but because they aim to improve the conditions of the Ukrainian working class, in which they've identified that the actions taken before and during the war with Russia was against the average Ukrainian's interest.

We don't hide our reasons for our support. If others want to contend with us on those points, then we can happily discuss worn them, but we don't vaguely gesture to self contradicting logical fallacies.

Democracy under US global hedgomony is a sham. The day everyone accepts thus fact is the day we can actually have a proper discussion about what to do about it.

I'm literally feeling sick of all the bourgois leftists i have talked to who are rocksolid in their conviction of being pro human rights and whatnot but who wont bat an eye on genocide denial or plain racism.

I want to convince these people but my energy literally isnt enough. The people around me (other communists) are trying but they dont even recognize this stuff unless i push their nose in it.

Its exhausting. I really need a communist self help group or something so i can infuse myself and others with revolutionary optimism and patience.

The actual socialists have to fight two enemies at the same time.

1. The right. (Fascists, conservatives, liberals, social democrats, the so-called 'centrists', and the entire owner class.)
2. The compatible left. ( The democratic socialists, the trots, the leftcoms.)

No wonder their are only 5 AES countries in the world, out of which 2 are placed under the strictest embargoes in history.

Good for your mental health.
