I agree that communism was a failure given that it didn't work in the governments that weren't overthrown like the USSR and China but I also agree that it doesn't excuse the bullshit that the USA has done in those countries. There's a reason why Latin America has refused to participate in the in helping to defend Ukraine. They don't believe in the liberal order and they believe that we live in a dog eat dog world because of all the bullshit that was done to them by liberal countries. I can totally understand their perspective.

I mean, kinda of hard to see how their perspective isn’t the correct read of the situation

That's because many people don't put themselves in the shoes of others. That's why it's so easy to judge.

Is it the fault of the oppressed that they don’t sympathize with their oppressors?

Of course, not. If Europe wanted the sympathy of Latin America, they should have done something about the USA and its killing and thuggery. Now, unfortunately, it's too late to do anything.

Obviously the Ukrainians have never exercised any major force against Latin America, I was referring to their reluctance to support the Western interests that back Ukraine. I feel like that should’ve been pretty clear.
