Ubertas, you do know why China helps Venezuela, right? Same goes to Russia. They both don't do it for "solidarity" , but simple because of oil and influence.
You find the answer for China in this video:

With that being said, I do not support the Western approach of demonizing Maduro and breaking international law. But I also don't like how people praise China and Russia for aiding him (Maduro) and demonzing the US although both do it for the same reason ; oil.

I don’t know how socialist solidarity affects Chinese policy (hopefully, it influences!).

But it is impossible to talk about the components of socialist solidarity in Russian politics - the USSR is long gone, Russia is a capitalist country with a conservative, religious-chauvinistic, retrograde ideology, the idealization of tsarism, etc. (the so-called "Communist Party of the Russian Federation" is also a puppet of this government policy , in fact, is the party of conservative chauvinistic statism, a pillar of capitalism in the Russian Federation). There are geopolitical policy motives, the struggle for influence, for markets, bridgeheads, and so on. Confrontation with the United States as an imperialist rival, nothing more.

At the same time, Maduro certainly causes my sympathy as a leftist, he takes care of the poor, while he has freedom in culture, the ability to listen to different opinions in the left spectrum. It is a pity if it is replaced by the right-wing politician.

95% of Venezuela's population lives in poverty and most people eat out rubbish bins for food.

I hate to rain on your parade but Maduro has done nothing but trouble for Venezuela. If anything, my sympathy goes to the suffering people of Venezuela living under the brutal oppression of a corrupt dictatorship.

I'm sorry that I'm sorry for you.

Believe me, I'd like to be happy for you, but as someone who has recently been to university I can tell you it's not great. It's hoop after hoop that may make you (more) anxious and is at best a waste of time (for learning, I get that degrees are the real value).

No need to be sorry! I'm quite excited to pursue my passion and I certainly don't expect it to be a cakewalk, but I'm looking forward to it regardless. Thank you for your concern though 😂

I’ve gotten to have high hopes for India and their communist party ever since they managed to organize the largest strike in human history last month. They’ve got a lot of potential for socialism and I feel they’re on the verge of going down a leftist path.

No matter how one looks at it, what matters is that these countries are counteracting, or attempting to counteract, American imperialism. Whatever the motive you may feel these nations have, they’re working against the main capitalist power in the world and that’s important. Not to mention it’s not just those countries, but Cuba, and Nicaragua, and others as well.

A few notes because I just can't help myself:
1. The college may not necessarily "address your passion", and when you are done you may be left with a distaste. Like, the coupling of following your passion with a plethora of tests and grades is simply a disgrace.

3. The notion that following your passion is hard or, worse, should be hard is also a disgrace. Following your passions is essentially the way people learn. Willful learning isn't hard. It's fun. Forced learning on the other hand is hard. Learning stuff you don't want to is hard. Taking tests is hard. University is hard. I'd say that it shouldn't be so, but university (or rather forced schooling) can't be anything but hard. The schooling system is hard because of its core design. It doesn't allow for willful learning. If schools embraced willful learning, they wouldn't be called schools anymore.

I'm just going to plug my ideology yet one more time, sorry. It's Self-Directed Education and it's the basis of how unschooling works. Here is a starting page. https://www.self-directed.org/sde/ Thanks.

I completely agree, but even learning doesn't come without its own challenges and moments when you need to leave your comfort zone and gain perspective that you wouldn't otherwise have. University is still my best bet at pursuing my passion as a future career so I still hope to dedicate myself to my studies so I can truly pursue my passion, if not in university then in the workplace.

"learning doesn't come without its own challenges and moments when you need to leave your comfort zone" If learning is forced sure. If not then not really.

Also, there is no perspective in knowledge. What is true is true.

Nothing new is learned if you stay in your echochamber and refuse to explore different points of view. Things such as learning from your mistakes or overcoming preconceived notions about a given subject is challenging because you must learn to see past your biases about the world. Knowledge isn't only about cold hard facts; it's about ways of thinking and analysis.

The right to bare arms in a socialist state should only be given to members of the communist party of the state. It lowers rates of incidency plus add smart guns to the equation and the answer is no more gun violence.

Only allowing the state to bear arms would be a slippery slope. Remember, in a communist society, the state has to go eventually too, and it's unlikely they'll go willingly. Arm the workers

This is for the pre withering away of the state period the socialist period and this allowance would be only to party members not theven state as they will be less likely to do something against our common goal of socialism. Besides everyone else can use any of the firearms but only at designated sites like shooting ranges. Members of communist parties have weapons such that in times of a surprise attack and occupation the can lead a resistance against the capitalists and access weapons stores to give to others to help repel the invaders.

You have greater optimism than I. Just because someone calls themselves a communist, doesn't mean they're incorruptible. We must have a checks-and-balance against the inheritable tyranny of the state

I know that most people can't be trusted but it doesn't mean we can't carry out counterinsurgency operations and background checks to those who do attain weapons. Military grade weapons can't in any circumstances can never be under public hands, ideology tests never hurt anyone combined with a socialist upbringing lower risk of obvious idiocy among those not to abuse that which they have as it's for emergency protection of all the members of the nation.

Cultural bias, for instance. In learning about the cultural values and norms of other societies, you gain perspective that allows you to see the world in a different way than you're used to. This same logic applies to hateful attitudes such as racism and sexism; by exploring the other sides and examining different points of view you have the opportunity to look at the world from a position with less bias, and in doing so (which is a challenge in and of itself) you change your way of thinking.

David Nebster, retired Steelworkers Union member, came to the rally to show solidarity alongside his union.

“The Steelworkers believe that when you take on one of us, you take on all of us. If we stick together, we can fight together, we can win. The corporations and the government like to pick us all off and say, ‘These are teachers, and these are carpenters, these are steelworkers.’ We can’t allow that to happen. We have to be together and we have to fight together. Otherwise we’ll all die separately.”

This is the type of working class solidarity that we need, he may be but one man but I hope that his example inspires others

Sure, but that's not knowledge eg water consists of 2 hydrogen 1 oxygen.
