The politics of Venezuela occurs in a framework explained in Government of Venezuela.. Venezuela has a dominant-party system, dominated by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela amidst other parties listed in the following section. So they need to stay in power, otherwise they know they will be either in jail or dead. 28 January 2019. They use the army, which it cannot be audited unless you start a war against Venezuela, so via Cuba, the Colombian terrorist guerrilla groups and the Venezuelan army, they pretty much move all the cocaine that’s consumed in Europe. All of them. Indeed, one of the chief selling points of Chavismo to its Western fans wasn’t just that it was an example of socialism, but of democratic socialism, too.All of this used to be obvious enough, but in the age of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez it has to be explained all over again. His health deteriorated and by 2012 he dies of cancer and he leaves Maduro, the idiot running as dictator now.A good summary, but I disagree with some details. Some one asked me to summarise what my opinion was about what is going on in Venezuela. Being the progressive left so overwhelmingly misinformed about it, and due to the damage they do with victimising the dictatorship, I decided it could help …
The lack of control amongst the ranks makes the whole situation much more unpredictable and uncontrolled.Each year, he progressively took control of the State: first was the Oil industry: he fired in 2002 all the executive board of the national oil company and substituted them with his friends.
He started an aggressive nationalisation of the economy. If a had to summarize it, i would say that human rights violations, censorship, corruption, etc is never justified, not by a religion, nor an economic model, nor culture.Being a Venezuelan immigrant and a Social Democrat, I've had conversations where people living in England or America call me a "gusano" and tell me I don't care about my country because every time they scream "revolution!" I go "you know, maybe slow incremental changes are a better idea that won't give power to populist assholes?", and then I've had conversations where not demonizing anything that calls itself socialist (I think the word has become useless at this point because so many loud voices use different definitions of it) means I'm "whitewashing socialism".-Machurucuto incident- ...never forget!Also, when you say "the opposition helped him too" it's not clear when you are talking about.Yo, That's what I said or at least tried to say, if they weren't so corrupt and stupid they would. There is no other way but declaring war to the Maduro regime to end it, and then ensure no Chavista group remains active and the only way of doing that would be from an international military coalition. Here it is:I think you made a pretty good summary, and i would like to try and add just a thought: i agree that the defence of the government just because of "socialism" is naive, but i also think that discussions about socialism and/vs capitalism are sometimes too simplistic, and people mix theories with practicants.
