A Call to Halt an Illegal Invasion of Venezuela
{Sadly, the propaganda spewing from the mouths of American politicians and pundits is as predictable as it is hollow: “Venezuela is socialist.” “Their economy is in shambles.” “Their government is corrupt.” “There is food instability.” “There is a humanitarian crisis.”
What’s missing in the attempt to justify the overthrow of President Nicolas Maduro is recognition of the fact that many nations around the world are, to some degree, socialist, have economic challenges and battle corruption. There are humanitarian crises all over the globe. Are all those governments somehow illegitimate and therefore candidates for a U.S.-orchestrated coup?}
I would suggest the US has all of those problems. Go ahead, test me. I can come up with situations for everyone of them.
I would also argue the fabric of the Venezuela culture had already been broken. Chavez and Maduro were rebuilding it. And that will not be tolerated in a socialist manor.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The biggest problem here is that black eye the White House wants to give to Socialism. Our government is currently fascist leaning and they think socialism is all bad. I'm not sure what Venezuela has but "Democratic Socialism" works just fine. By design it will give benefits to everyone. What is Maduro's plan?

Venezuela was led by a tyrant government bowing to western influence. Poverty was at roughly 70%. Some have even stated at or near 90%. Nearly all aspect of living conditions became horrid. Jobs money food water etc. The people finally having enough and revolted with many in the military joining them. While Chavez did turn a lot over to the state to combat corruption, he also left a large part of the private sector to continue. So it isn't all that socialist, it also has a sense of capitalism. And they just can't get enough, the capitalist. And they want to take the country back to what it was before the revolution. Maduro's plan is the same as it was under Chavez. Feed the people and the nation bringing back the lost culture. And he's been doing just that even under the restrictions. But today the real forces of evil are going all out to stop it.
