Must be an unwritten rule out there that western socialists don't want in any way to have to defend any Latin American socialism. I guess I get that he doesn't want to be a "red boogey man" so he disavows, but it would be nice to see a little more respect or deference.
Do European left parties recognize Venezuela or Cuba as comrades?
No. Partially because EU left was heavily destroyed by USian propaganda and secret services (see e.g. Operarion Gladio that stopped in 1990 because it was exposed; we have no idea what is still hiding in the shadows).
Partially because EU left is not really left, but only slightly less right than actual right.
The EU left are all neoliberals.
We can see it clearly in the UK. Labour, who are historically the political arm of the unions, have been indulging in anti-immigration rhetoric that is indistinguishable from the far right.
It's easier to see that they are deliberate controlled opposition rather than former lefties that have been red scared into being centrists
Fascist, gtfo
Those wankers are always chanting "free movement of capital" but never "free movement of workers".
They should take up drunkenly juggling chainsaws
Anti LOCAL labor, a crucial distinction. Not even "anti", really just decreasing their relative position, putting aside whether or not that position is already above others.
So, a policy to enforce that raises the rights of one nationality above another. What do we call that? "National" "socialism"?
You understand the idea of an empire pillaging the world and then trying to restrict access to the spoils?
