lenin, stalin and mao never once surrendered their entire nations resources in perpetuity to be held and controlled by the imperialists. All you are doing is making excuses for surrender and coping over total defeat. You would make these same arguments about Yeltsin and Gorbachev, they apply equally to their treasons, after all those were just “strategic retreats” and the party can never do wrong or be compromised. This isn’t a “retreat” it’s a complete collapse and capitulation into non-socialism. An economy dictated and controlled by Americans who disburse the funds and write the checks can never be socialism. A nation falling into being colonized is not a “retreat” it’s a defeat of everything a nation represents and its millions of people.
Mao retreated during a WAR and REVOLUTION against imperialists! Not by surrendering to them! He won because he refused to surrender and fought against all odds!
“in perpetuity” they normalized relations with a country that absolutely will put boots on the ground to kill them. for multiple reasons, yeltsin and gorbachev have jackshit to do with this. for one, they destroyed a genuine dictatorship of the proletariat. venezuela was never that. the organs of proletarian power in venezuela lie outside the state, and so long as they still stand, what right do you have to compare this to 91? none at all. on the eve of the collapse of the empire, you demand that these countries destroy themselves first. you insist that venezuelans, with no regard to their material position, immediately put on a show of force against the biggest empire in the world. you would see venezuelan communism destroyed just so you could jerk yourself off about how noble they were. you are the height of the western left. your martyr complex won’t build socialism anywhere.
Revolution is built by martyrs, not by those afraid of a single death. Revolution is not a dinner party. Your cowardice is apparent to all and will result in socialism being a pariah in Venezuela for decades to come as the face of sell outs
