Also I think it's wrong to make Syria an acid test anywhere, but it's particularly incongruous to bring up now with regard to the Venezuelan leadership, which for a long time has had a bad line on a number of international issues including the genocidal treatment of the Sri Lankan government towards the Tamil people.
I didn't say it was an acid test. In fact I unfriended probably 25 Syrian solidarity activists on FB, including Robin Yassin-Kassab, who violently disagreed with my vote for Jill Stein.
That being said, the Latin American left has a poor understanding of Syria. But then again so does the majority of the people writing for Greenleft and Links. That's the way it goes.
