Those things are literally not related, and, conveniently enough, panampost if a far right "news" website. Supporting Maduro doesn't invalidate their fight. Supporting marxism doesn't invalidate their fight. Supporting Cuba doesn't invalidate their fight. Oh, by the way, those three are countries or ideologies the US have actively tried to destroy. Should I go and make my own website claiming the US government for dozens of years has been the number one exporter of terrorism in the world ? Oh, right, it actually is. And still, it's still not related to the damn subject.

I don’t believe in guilt by association. I’m responding to an entirely different point: > The worst of the alt-right are far, far worse than the worst of the extreme left I don’t think this statement is accurate given how many people on the extreme left embrace murderers like Maduro. Violent extremism is a problem on both sides. As to Pan Am Post, your assertion that it’s a “far right” site is exactly why so many people are concerned about Twitter and Facebook censorship. Pan Am Post is libertarian with a Latin American focus both in terms of content and the contributors. From Wikipedia: > According to Richard Scheines, dean of the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences of Carnegie Mellon University, PanAm Post is "an incredibly rich online site that covers news and offers excellent analyses of all regions in the Americas".[6][7] In 2019 and 2020, the PanAm Post was ranked in a Forbes article as one of the most prominent free-market magazines in the world measured by social media impact.[8][9]

  > I don’t think this statement is accurate given how many people on the extreme left embrace murderers like Maduro. I do not support Maduro, in fact I'm pretty ignorant overall about Venezuelan politics. But if the same measurement stick is applied to US presidents, a lot of Americans are neck deep in trouble given the usual US foreign policy.

  If supporting murderers like Maduro is a sign you're on the extreme left and indefensible, does that mean that supporting murderers like Obama, Clinton and Bush equally makes you indefensible? I'm really trying hard to find the validity of this argument. In reality, everyone in politics has blood on their hands. Welcome to the horrible world we live in - no one has been able to build a society without massive violence yet. Though some try.
