This Friday evening, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, held a meeting with representatives of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest left-leaning political organization in the United States.

Happy to say ive heard lots of great things from comrades who were there who include several NPC members.

    Yeah but that was specifically on her talking about Tibet. I get that she is generally better than that, but not every critique needs to be couched in caveats

      If it had been limited to her comments on Tibet, I would agree with you. But it brought up Venezuela, too.

      If someone brings up a vague statement on Venezuela, frames it as damning, and omits a half-dozen clearer, much better statements on the topic, that's bad-faith criticism.

        Sure, amidst good faith and warranted critiques. If something about Venezuela slips through into that, then I think the larger problem is with how statements like the Tibet one feed conscious and unconscious assumptions about the org. It confirms a bad faith read on Venezuela, because that negativity was vindicated with Tibet. I dont have an answer for that, nor would I say it is good; but it certainly is a problem and I get why it happens
