"Kinetic action". Fucking fascistspeak.
That last tweet is definitely a lie lmao, though the next guy might let them stick a fat military base there for the favour.
Unlikely, the working class supported the government and Maduro, it was only the fascist compradors that opposed him in significant numbers. The government still holds, and will likely place a backuo until the next elections. Coups don't really work without popular support or more direct millitary intervention domestically (see Pinochet with Allende).
The coup in Iran worked without popular support
Sure, but the US and UK had the backing of some of the Iranian millitary. The millitary in Venezuela supports Maduro, due to the history of the Bolivarian revolution.
Kleptocracy is the word most commonly used to describe Maduro's rule. I'm furious at my country and Trump and the whole fucking Military Industrial complex. But no need for your constant exaggeration. Sometimes there is no good guys. Just bad guys and worse guys.
As described by who? Venezuela is a budding socialist country with a flourishing commune system. It's called a "kleptocracy" by imperialists upset that Hugo Chavez started a wave of nationalizing resources and businesses so that the wealth of Venezuela would belong to Venezuelans, not the US Empire. Stop caping for the empire and downplaying an existing socialist country fighting off imperialism with weak moral platitudes.
That link brings me to a page not found ๐ข
Edited to a translated summary!
Thanks! It's a bit suspicious that it's been removed.
There are other sources on Venezuela's growing commune movement, that's just one I had on hand.
Oh sorry not suspicious of you. I appreciate all the work you put into your comments! Just seems like a convenient time to lose positive articles for maduro on their webpage.
Agreed, here's a book that goes over the rising movement!
I am still skeptical that this administration actually got Maduro. Like even if they were being completely honest, I need to see some video of Maduro before I believe that they got the actual guy.
I hear you, but I wouldn't be surprised if they perp walk him in a few hours. Fascists rely on their propaganda. Trump is doing a speech later today.
There's been alot of online speculation that either he was betrayed or cut himself a deal and willingly went
Yeah I'm not even against speculation, but I'm not willing to incorporate into the "facts" part of my brain until I see the evidence. And I'll also cop to it being a little bit of copium ๐
