Lauded by Corbyn, let's not forget - himself a man headed, sooner rather than later we hope, for a similar reckoning with history:

More on those Chavez apologists here.

A CiF piece from last week, Nine ways you can support Venezuelan human rights protests, shows that even in Guardian-land the writing - or the black paint - is on the wall. The commenters enjoy themselves, quite rightly, at the expense of Corbyn, Milne, Owen Jones, etc..
