      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.

            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.

                  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.
