    I do wonder if the tankies will count a socialist country invading another country for the explicit purpose of stealing its oil as imperialism.

      The line that they’re running with is that Guyana is being exploited by the West and since Venezuela has asked very nicely to ignore the ICJ several times they are (going to be) justified in liberating them.

        Oh, so they’re intending to return all revenue raise from Guyana’s oil back to Guyana’s people, just out of the kindness of their hearts? That’s awfully nice of them.

        It blows my mind that anyone with a brain buys this stuff, especially given that Guyana’s ruling party is literally socialist themselves.

        That’s not being leftist, that’s having no arms at all. No communist would support no government because communism is based around a strict system of government, by the people—ironically, a direct democracy. A Demarxracy, if you will, haha.
