Like I'm super disappointed. Atleast with Blumenthal you could slowly see him going into right populist and conspiracy nonsense. Norton just dropped this hot turd out of nowhere lmao

The second tweet of his in that thread literally left me mouth agape. He went swinging with lies and mischaracterizations on literally the world communist movement / the IMCWP.
The replies in the tweet are sufficient to tell you this is a super weird and nonsensical lie by Ben. It's kind of staggering he'd pull such anti-communist nonsense. His second tweet is even wilder because he basically attacks the enormous majority of the IMCWP and their positions on all the issues he names. He straight up made it all up.
As to the PCV, it NEVER did a "swing to the right" it NEVER allied with the Venezuelan right wing either. Norton very conveniently also does a HUGE euphemism on "its leadership being changed": what is actually happening is the PSUV through the judicial authorities of the country are rendering the party illegal, calling the leadership undemocratic and unaccountable, and basically stealing the party legal entity by putting in charge PSUV militants mislabelled as "aggrieved PCV members". The IMCWP has signed multiple declarations of solidarity with the PCV over the past months also.
Also hello hexbear this is my first post lmao
Thank you comrade 🫡 🫡
I initially made an account on lemmy.world to see the broader lemmy federation and lemmygrad but then they went and defederated from Hexbear and it would be a shame to miss out on your prime content, I remember the heydays of /r/chapotraphouse, missed it!
