    supporting the other empire […] Cuba, Venezuela

    Tell me you don’t understand imperialism without telling me you don’t understand imperialism (especially funny coming from someone criticising people who don’t read theory). Cuba is possibly the most peaceful nation on Earth, with the core of its international policy usually being sending doctors to countries in need. Please tell me a single imperialist act by Cuba or Venezuela.

    Critical support to flawed countries is a sad consequence of Realpolitik. Do you support England and the USSR joining forces against Nazism in World War 2? Because they’re otherwise geopolitical enemies that only joined the effort because there was a greater evil.
