That's mainly what happens in all Latin american countries, USA puppets everywhere. Read about the foro of Sao Paulo, but as there's the arm of CIA everywhere, there are those stupid communists that only want power and money everywhere and an ocean of indoctrinated idiots that really believe in socialists and communists ideas.
it's not that different in latin europe either, i dunno who runs the commies around here but they are not popular lately, south-west europe has massively turned against socialism
the thing is, they are so proudly red they even put the soviet hammer and sickle on their advertising, the raised fist, or it's the classic rose... and iirc, the rose is an emblem of secret societies for hundreds of years
socialism is a scam that really needs to die, the durability of it is quite amazing considering it always leads to breadlines and disappearances
ah yeah i do know... soros is one of the major funders, he puts loads of money into antifa for sure
Naturally I am 1000% against nazism(national socialism) and fascism but those ideas were made politically illegal in all countries, but still we see communist political parties in all countries, and communists were those that killed more people. So for the devilish elite communism seems to achieve their goals with much more efficiency and speed.
I would say there isn't black or white here. The USA has been trying to overthrow the government forever for its own interests, but also big parts of the population hate the government and fight in the streets against their supporters. At the same time after every elections the opposition claims that they were a fraud but never gives any proves, and the elections always had international recognition. Will this time be different? Maybe
Who is the opposition?
There are many opposition parties, I am not an expert but seems that in this election the main opposition is a coalition of parties some of which haven't participate in previous elections because they didn't recognize the government. They agreed in participating in this election and to recognize the results.
It is the people of Venezuela themselves who are fighting in the streets for their freedom.
That much is obvious but who is conducting the orchestra?
On Monday, July 29, the people of Caracas capital began banging pots and pans in their homes, expressing their discontent over the fraud.
Later, they went out to the streets to march.
Without the opposition leading them, it was Venezuelans themselves who went out to fight in the streets.
That’s not what I’m talking about
La oposición
I’ll have to give Chomsky a listen 🎧
The opposition.
This might fly with NPCs but not this kitteh
early comments from the geopolitical stuff I read indicate a bit of everything. the CIA is in there funding protests, but the protests have truth to them too. maduro is a tyrant, but aren't all elites everywhere today?
they are flooding the zone with conflicting information so no one gets a clear picture.
if Maduro survives in power for the next week or so, then he will stabilise, other wise the colour revolution will suceed.
either way the instability is terrible for the locals, hearts go out to them, regardless of who they voted for
Imo legacy media was rather slow to report on these protests 🐢🐢🐢
Venezuela holds the largest known oil reserve in the world and has become an international financial chess match.
Chavez, followed by Maduro’s socialist, has been part of the Russian, China block and in pursuit of BRICS ally. Chavez paid off the IMF (he had Mahathir’s vibe of no IMF, no US - but Mahathir went with the Islam ally and Chavez went with the Socialist group) .
However, due to lack of market reforms, Venenzuela remains largely in debts with China, Russia, and private debtors, bonds etc.
The US and 50 other countries were not happy Venenzuela did not pick them, so they did what they always do when things don’t go their way and sanctioned the country.
This is to pressure the regime and support opposition figures (back then) Juan Guaidó and redirect state oil funds to the right wing party.
(Note - Oil revenues generally fall under federal control, even though the resources are extracted from state territories. Federal authorities often withhold these funds esp if the states are governed by opposition parties. Very similar to Mahathir’s time too.)
This sanction impacted the country severely as Maduro and gang did not diversify the economy - no market reforms nor social reforms. They were dependent on oil revenue only - big mistake - huge.
The people are tired of a 20 year regime giving handouts instead of building the country. They want change.
So yea, it has a lot of influence from various factors and everything is helter skelter right now. But Venezuela is ripe for regime change and economic diversification.
Maybe Maria Corina Machado is an ally of the US, I won't be surprised. Like Mahathir vs Anwar, Anwar and many who supported him were funded and trained from various US NGOs for years. And similarly, it was to end a Mahathir's 20 yrs regime that would not support the US - but the people could not tolerate the Mahathir dictatorship anymore and it took many riots and tear gassing. Then again its back to square one as Anwar is curbing freedom of expression dictatorial style and aligning publicly with Brics, so who knows.
And here is where Bitcoin really matters. I know this sounds like such a cliche “Bitcoin fixes this” ending but it is incredibly important to have an impartial global currency.
One that Venezuela can trade with the US and Russia without offending one or the other. Right now, Venezuela is stuck and is forced to pick sides.
But it is also incredible that the people are rising and saying enough is enough. This is when the people lead and hopefully governments follow.
There are no direct answers to your questions but i hope this helps
