So much for their being just "Danish-style" social democrats.
Venezuela's "democratically elected" Marxist dictator Nicolás Maduro is a well known global pariah.
He's driven his country's once vibrant oil industry into the ground, creating an ecological disaster to go with it. His socialist expropriations have made the country an economic hellhole, with six million Venezuelans driven out as refugees. On the political front, he's rigged elections, beaten and jailed dissidents, destroyed all independent branches of government such as the judiciary, and engaged in the sort of election fraud Democrats can only dream of. As for the starving remainders still in country, he's got gang enforcers on motorcycles to ensure loyalty and political litmus tests as to who gets ration cards. On his watch, crime in Caracas has become monstrous, one of the highest rates in the world. And yes, he's in bed with Syria, Iran, China, Cuba, and other pariah hellholes.
Yet incredibly, he still has sycophants and defenders, still rolling in from the West.
According to National Review:
Representatives of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest socialist political organization in the United States, met with Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro Friday.
In attendance were the chairperson of the National Political Committee of the DSA, members of the International Committee, and members of the organization’s Political Formation, Foreign Policy and Bilateral Relations committees, according to Telesur.
Seriously, in this day and age, these people go to Maduro to pay tribute?
It's not just insane; it's sinister.
It's a strong contradiction to the various poses struck by DSA members and other far-left socialist groups attempting to distance themselves from this pariah and monster when the refugee pictures run. They've actually gone openly as friends because nobody gets into Miraflores Palace without the best of socialist credentials and trust.

I wonder what they discussed? Favorite food? Favorite drinks? Favorite torture?
It was favorite newspaper and favorite TV network.
Both were horse races with WAPO and the NYT neck and neck and MSNBC and CNN also.
Seriously. Is anyone suprised?
AOC is moving to Venezuela to be their Green Queen ?
AOC better attend to her grandmother before Hurricane season labels AOC the granddaughter of death.
