        If Maduro’s electoral arm could release the results of the elections none of this would happen as it’s Iin democratic countries.

        So I’m not sure about how a coup could restore anything if the government went into power executing fraud on the polls and a de facto coup d’etat denying Venezuelans of their real representation.

      Wow that’s a long list made by someone that thinks picking sides in a developing nation is the same as “backing” a coup. These power struggles and civil wars were brewed locally, and saying “well we like this guy and hope his side wins” isn’t a nefarious imperialist plot to subvert democracy.

      Of course, a few of them were exactly that, but even then, not without reason.

                  For the record, I don’t have strong feelings for Maduro’s government.

                  Just strong enough to defend them against being called out for their blatant fascist behavior, it would seem.

                  Assumptions, let’s do a few assumptions, a month old account with only three comments that only started commenting today, roughly an hour ago, all on this post?

                  Shut the fuck up, you don’t know the first thing about Venezuela. Shut up, nobody wants the ignorant point of view with automatic loyalties and hatred based on a century old ideologically bankrupt framework. This has nothing to do with west vs east propaganda. This is about assholes like you, who at best support a dictatorship because your ideologue teachers told you to stop using your critical thinking skills and accept anything that has an anti-western varnish at face value. Or at worst are bought for bots. Let me reiterate, shut up, and sit down.

              lmao at your absolute seething over “eastern” government. I remember when you were posting about the Palestinian genocide “re-popularizing” antisemitism and other bullshit you peddle. At worst you’re a zionazi, at best, you’re a fed. Never forget Jews were considered easterners by Nazi germany and weren’t above your kind of statements “The Germans do not fight the Jews because they are Semitic or because they come from the East, but for their character, egoism and their hostility to society…While Germany forbids the entrance of the Jews into her territory, she welcomes all Arabs of Semitic origin and cares for them.”

              … what

      US do bad thing so places US did bad thing to are always right and shut up.

      This is why using the trench guns anyways after the germans asked the US nicely to stop means nobody from America is allowed to think that Hitler Fella might not have risen to power in the most legitimate way.

        “Critical support for dictatorship! Socialist praxis is when you strip the proletariat of their power, and the more power you strip from them, the more socialist it is!”

        I understand hating the US. But Jesus. That doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) mean one has to simp for every anti-US regime out there.

      Yeah forgive me for not trusting a damn thing the US and US media says.

      Regardless of what happened the US is pumping money into destabilizing Venezuela. It will have done whatever the outcome.
