    These morons realize Russia is influencing the outcome of this with Wagner? Like I’m not saying the US should intervene, but what’s happening in Venezuela isn’t liberation. It’s Russia maintaining their colonial holdings. The people at ground level there agitating to get rid of Maduro aren’t anti-comm, they’re anti-colonial, which is what any good communist should be. What a bunch of dumb dumb dingleberries

      Worst part is, the only reason the fucking neoliberals are so prominent in the opposition was because Maduro removed all of his left opposition from running (jail, election bans, exile, etc). It’s one of the stupidest fucking choices imaginable if you were to think Maduro were ideologically motivated. However, as purely a power play, it’s the right move - forcing the opposition to rally around a less-popular viewpoint. It just wasn’t enough to swing the election in Maduro’s favor.

      Oh. Perhaps they do realize it. That would explain why they’re simping so hard for authoritarian dictatorship.

      You’re saying Wagner is in Venezuela? I know it’s in Russia’s interest for Maduro to stay in power but I haven’t heard of any Russian involvement
