And how to you address the fact that when he lost a majority to the opposition in the National Assembly he just created another one to do his bidding, arrested opposition leaders and has used torture and mass arrests to stifle dissent?
What’s that about democracy?
That is exactly democracy in Venezuela, it shows the flaws in democracy. Markets concentrate
wealth in the hands of a capable ethnic minority. Democracy empires the ethnic majority. When the latter begin
to share a larger share of the wealth tyrannical dictators & leaders (Chavez, Madura, Mugabe, Malema, etc,)
arise to meet those demands.
Chavez's swept into power winning the trust and favor of the primarily poor and destitute & the future
of the country has since tended for the most part downward reaching the tragic situation which
confronts that country now. Venezuela is the canary in the coal mine it may be the harbinger of what is to
come with the rise of third world USA!
Furthermore, In the West, there is a tradition of seeing a passionate crowd massed in a square as the voice of the people.
As always there are reporters interviewing demonstrators hoping to hear that they want an end to a
corrupt and evil regime. The Kiev Maidan & Tehrir Square were just further evidence of this phenonomon when
regimes were toppled & things went terrible for Ukraine & Egypt. I hope Trump doesn't follow the advice of
the neo-cons still around like BO followed the advice of Mrs. Clinto & Susan Rice & Victoria Nuland which induced
the previously mentioned tragedies.
