Oh wow a supossed ML failing to do historical material analysis... Maybe US leftists laude Allende because doing so points out the imperialist crimes the US has done. Meanwhile, openly supporting "official state enemies" like Chavez or Maduro will get you censored, persecuted, and harassed by the state and capital. Maybe those material conditions have more to do with why western leftists fail to support Maduro and Castro than some idealist nonesense about a christian martyrdom. Its as absurd as saying Castro and Chavez weren't western and weren't influenced by Christianity.
How about Vietnam? We fought an actual war against their state, they WON, and now you almost never hear a peep from the Western Left about Vietnam... Compare that to the Ls we celebrate all the time.

What the flying fuck are you talking about? We never shut the fuck up about the Vietnam war. Have you missed the weekly prayers for Kissinger's death?
Please elaborate.
That's my point - lots of talk about the war, very little about the actually existing Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
