You don't need to look very far for evidence of Boulos being against the coup. I suppose you refer to this article referring to the movement against the world cup, due to the harm it caused to the working class that had to be displaced or explored for the creation of the stadiums to entertain a gringo audience. It was also during an ascension of the PSOL as the left opposition right after the Luciana Genro campaign. Boulos has now become an avid defender of the PT, which is an abandonment of whatever leftwing commitment he had back then.

That was not a pro-coup movement, and the fact that what was supposed to be a class conciliation government couldn't reconcile the tensions there is a failure of the PT. Claiming moral superiority by abstaining from another battleground for class struggle and letting it get taken over by the right is not a good look for the PCO.

Tendencies in the PSOL range from mildly pro imperialist to rabidly pro imperialist.

At least put an effort in your critique to discern how they are pro-imperialist. Most range from social-democratic to Trotskyist which, I agree, often side with imperialism.

A fair number are what patsocs would call "identitarian", which means that they focus on racial, gender, and ethnic class issues and oppressions. Some are even left-liberal with a focus on minority entrepreneurship. The first has revolutionary potential, the second indeed co-opt important struggles for the sake of maintaining imperialism.

pstu is not trotskyist, they are morenists

The only true Trotskyists are Trotsky himself and Mercader's ice axe. \s

I'm not going to defend Trotskyists again, with their obsession for splitting and calling themselves the only Marxists for "ideological purity", rather than doing any actual praxis in a revolutionary direction. That's just fighting over the title of "reactionary pseudo-revolutionaries with a newspaper", and if the PSTU and Moreno don't fit the bill, good for them. It is a confused and moribund dead-end ideology, and the fact that the PSTU often falls into a somewhat more effective anarcho-sindicalist strategy is good enough evidence for that.

As for the last point, both the Revolutions of 1905 and February 1917 had broad support from liberals, reformists, nationalists, Mensheviks, revisionists and even foreign bourgeois observers. It doesn't mean those weren't fights worth fighting for.
