Must be an unwritten rule out there that western socialists don’t want in any way to have to defend any Latin American socialism. I guess I get that he doesn’t want to be a “red boogey man” so he disavows, but it would be nice to see a little more respect or deference.
Do European left parties recognize Venezuela or Cuba as comrades?
No. Partially because EU left was heavily destroyed by USian propaganda and secret services (see e.g. Operarion Gladio that stopped in 1990 because it was exposed; we have no idea what is still hiding in the shadows).
Partially because EU left is not really left, but only slightly less right than actual right.
We can see it clearly in the UK. Labour, who are historically the political arm of the unions, have been indulging in anti-immigration rhetoric that is indistinguishable from the far right.
It’s easier to see that they are deliberate controlled opposition rather than former lefties that have been red scared into being centrists
What’s more, openness to mass immigration is anti labour, as it worsens the positions of the worker (cheap competition who won’t unionize because they don’t mix well with the rest of the population).

The EU left are all neoliberals.
