Who will the Irish left support when Maduro is gone? Castro is dead, Chavez is dead, Che Guevera is long dead, Pol Pot, Lenin and Stalin long dead, their “pacifist” hero Trotsky is long dead.
Who is left? Kim Jong-un is a bit of an embarrassment, having family member killed with poison darts and executing his perceived opponents with anti-aircraft guns.
Can someone set up a poll and determine who the new hero of the left is?
I was going to try and comprehend the levels of complete and utter stupidity that somebody has to willingly embrace to write such a load of Goebbels-esque rot as you’ve done there, but I won’t bother.

Outside of the “edgy” humour, what country can the left point to that demonstrates the successes of socialism? Not a capitalist country like Norway with well run welfare programs, an actual country that adopted the socialist economic model and it resulted in economic prosperity for it’s people.
