I think the lesson to be learned from Venezuela is that the left should never place its faith in military strongmen. That's not a very interesting lesson and it ought to have been learned decades ago but it's worth re-stating...

It is only true in part. Maduro is no soldier, yet the things got only worse under him.

But, yeah, Venezuela's problems are, mostly, outside the simplistic "left/right" dimension.
