British Leftist Corbyn Laments Venezuelan ‘Security Forces That Have Been Killed By People On The Streets’

British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has long been a supporter of the Bolivarian revolution. He’s made no secret of the fact that his lifelong dream of socioeconomic upheaval would be complete if the Chavismo model were fully implemented in the United Kingdom. While other populist leftists (who have expressed prior support for Chavez) shy away from openly endorsing autocratic President Nicolas Maduro and his strongman tactics, Corbyn is doubling-down on solidarity with the caudillo. To Corbyn, the people, not the oppressive socialist government, are to blame for the current tragedy in Venezuela.

As protesters take to the streets of Caracas to demand a new future, spilling blood, sweat, and tears in the hope that their children and their children’s children can perhaps avoid a government-scripted life of poverty, squalor, starvation, and despair, Corbyn appears to be siding with the security forces ordered to maintain the status-quo at all costs.
