That didn't take long. "Are you now or have you ever been..."

Attempting to discredit any and all critics of Machado as Marxists is right wing nonsense. That is what you are doing. So one of the critics has written for a Marxist publication. You should know better. That is currently being used against all of us right here in the US, by the way.

Do you doubt that Trump, Bolsanaro, Milei, and Abascal are right wingers? Do you doubt that Machado aligns with them?
