This reminds me of Mao Zedong. In the 1950s, Mao asked all chinese to criticize and give feedback on communist party policies, and millions of people did. It turned out to be a trick to find people who are critical of the government. A crack down quickly followed, and millions ended up in political prisons, including both of my grandfathers. Lesson: when a dictator uncharacteristically ask people to speak up, you probably shouldn't.
That's false. Mao Zedong called on communists to criticize bourgeois and revisionist elements within the communist party. Elements that were anti-marxist-leninist. Mao Zedong, along with others like Lin Biao, criticized the government and communist party leaders. It was not a event were Mao tricked people into "revealing themselves". The so called revisionist Marxists had already seized power. And was in power before the Red Guards terrorized the streets.
Either way Venezuela is not comparable. Venezuelan "Socialism" is not even Marxist. It's some indigenous, bolivarian Nationalist, liberal revisionist, corrupt hybrid. A cover up, scam, and scheme to profit of a naive population.
The key point being, at least the peasants of 1940s-50s rural China and the students of the 1970s. Had an advanced intellectual understanding of politics and economics.
wow what was it called
Damn.

People keep falling for these feel good short sighted types of government. I am happy now, who cares about the future seems to be the policy these days.
@@RS-ls7mm I'd rather have a "short sighted" government that is FOR THE PEOPLE, than what 'Murica, Germany, Britain, France etc. have had for DECADES! Meaning: A government that is a corpocracy, not a democracy! So a government for companies, the economy and the rich - while what regular ("working class") people want and need is never a priority! Hell, we are still stuck with the 40 hour work-week, despite an EXPLOSION of productivity since that was put in place! If we had lowered working hours alongside productivity we'd probably work less than 30 hours a week!
And 34 million Europeans came to the "United States". What's your point?
And 7millions around the word

My grandmother, when she was alive, would recall stories sbout Castro coming down from the sierra maestra in '59, Camilo Cienfuegos, and of course El Che. At the end of each TV or radio broadcast, the eerie phrase would have to be said... "Patria o muerte, venceremos." This stuff that's happening in Venezuela is nothing short of the same thing. You'd think people would be able to look back in history and not make the same mistakes. This is what happens when you condition a man to receive a fish, and tell him he can't fish for himself so there's no need to learn how to fish, "we will take care of you." Yeah they'll take care of you alright.
in venezuela, chavez would say: "patria socialista o muerte!"
Eventually, he changed it to "patria socialista o muerte, vivremos y venceremos!" because he got cancer and was afraid lol.

@@krzysiukrul1183 power corrupts absolutely.
Don't know why giving the government more power than it already has is a good idea considering how corrupt is on what little level of power it has because of checks and balances.

@@szlava3641 How the F are US elections remotely similar to the farce in Venezuela?
There were 900 international observers of the elections. They didn't permit a team from the EU because they were clearly bad faith actors, like what happened in Bolivia in 2019, where Morales won the election and the OAS, without evidence, called fraud, only to rescind it later. The result was a coup d'etat. The EU recognised the preposterous Juan Guaido as president, a guy who no one had ever heard of in Venezuela, who then proceeded to rob the country blind. This commentator btw is a complete idiot.
Why does Mr. Maduro always has to shout as if speakers weren't invented yet?
You see the same thing with Joe Biden?
The country is on so much of a budget crunch that the cost of running the speakers would probably result in 2000 people starving to death.
Because he learned from Chávez.

Unfortunately this is not going to end well. Look at Myanmar.
Tell him, tell him. Apparently he has forgotten. Maduro will be 'crushed'.
But Venezuelans and Myanmar people still have their respective country to call home. Look at what happened to Iraq, it's destroyed by the evil American invasion in 2003. Venezuelans have learned their lessons.
@@sjman7952 And what lessons would those be?
Burma had a military coup and is now in a full-blown multi-ethnic Civil war. Venezuela is not there. Yet.
@@hurrdurrmurrgurr The lesson is: NEVER believe false stories and fake news (about governments in developing countries) by the western media. In 2003, the Washington regime and western media spread fake news about Iraq, and then invaded the country. 800,000 Iraqi women, children and civilian men were murdered, and trillions of dollars of oil reserves were looted from the poor country.
Everyone who had a decent education and knew english has already left the country (more than 1/5 of the population). Only the gangs,the public workers and who has been lobotomized by the regime is still in venezuela. A cultural collapse before a state collapse.
There are many middle-aged people and people without resources who have not taken the step of leaving. Imagine having worked all your life for your home and having to admit that none of it was worth it and that you have to leave, it's not an easy decision :(

Well that's a dumb thing to say when Maduro clearly cheated
Appx : Only 10 million people voted in Venezuela election yesterday. More than 8 million pro-opposition voters left Venezuelat who could ve voted against Maduro. I can understand why Maduro was able to win.
The opposition was polling 30% over Maduro and then the voting system was frozen for six hours before it miraculously gave Maduro the victory. It doesn't matter how many people vote when Maduro controls the result.
Venezuela has population of 33 million people
8 million people have fled
21 million people voted
Edmundo won with 18 million votes
The only terrible thing in Venezuela is your sold-out face occasionally popping up on their RUclips recommendations

I keep asking the same question for all the Maduro supporters on every platform and I never get an answer. So here I go again: why wasn't the diaspora allowed to vote in this election? they were allowed in the past, there are so many in Lima, Bogota and Madrid, why was this time different?
It's a debate in Venezuela - should people not living in the country be allowed to vote on what happens in a country in which they are not resident? Some countries allow it, some don't. Personally, I find it nauseating that British retirees in living in Spain are allowed to vote in UK elections. One thing, allowing the foreign vote is also a political choice. The Tories did it here to boost their own vote.
@@resistanceexpo Thanks for answering, you're the only one. I have no issue in allowing diaspora citizens vote if they never renounce their citizenship. Venezuelans used to allow but this time they didn't. Is it because Maduro feared the results and he's aware that he is deeply unpopular with the diaspora?
@@resistanceexpoHow can you compare the situation of a couple thousand well-off British expats living in Spain, with the situation of Venezuela, where 1/4th of the population had to leave the country as refugees in desperation? 8 million refugees spread across Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Spain, Canada, USA, etc.
Ridiculous comparison, and very insensitive.
@@resistanceexpo In Brazil, voting is mandatory and living overseas isn't an excuse not to vote 💀

Only question now is if the the Venezuelan people are willing to pull a Myanmar.

@@DavidVillaTorre I can’t believe I’m saying this.
But I think the U.S. needs to start arming and funding rebel groups in Venezuela.
I don’t want an outright intervention (save that one for if Maduro stupidly invades Guyana). This is a Venezuelan problem, but I think the U.S. should supply the people of Venezuela the means to overthrow their clearly illegitimate government.
The only part that worries me about doing that is the possibility of the rebels turning into drug cartels in the future.
@Kaiserboo1871 I would like to see the illegitimate government fall with the help of the us but at the same time I would be worried about having a proxy war, or even another cold war with maduro's allies, China and Russia
@@DavidVillaTorre Also, I don’t want to install any puppet.
We get rid of Maduro, put the opposition in power with no strings attached, and then we leave.
They are sheep and will do nothing.
Interestingly, you can hear the same terms from communist politics in Venezuela as you can from so-called "left" and "far left" in our western world. They call their opposition - basically everyone less extreme than team, a fascists.
The problem is that many people use this term and have no clue what it actually means.
BTW: People from the right like to call everyone less extreme "socialists" or "marxists".
The problem is that they are also clueless about the meaning of these terms.
Venezuela does not practice anything close to communism. You should find real sources of news.
Except that there's plenty of cries of the "radical left" or "socialists" coming from the right in such places as the United States as well, so this is not a phenomenon particular to the left at all.

Please read up what happened to Iraq (which is also rich with oil reserves) when the Washington regime invaded the country in 2003. Iraq is now a destroyed country. President Madura - just like President Hugo Chevez - nationalised oil reserves so that it belongs to all Venezuelan people.
@@sjman7952Indeed. that’s why many people from “glorious socialist” Venezuela, Cuba, and China move to the USA far greater than the other way around.
@@enigma6682 Because the glorious socialist system practiced in Venezuela, Cuba and China allow really freedom of choice.

Perfect democracy.
The National Lawyer's Guild, an independent U.S. group, was observing the elections closely and wrote:
"The delegation observed a transparent, fair voting process, with scrupulous attention to legitimacy, access to polls, and pluralism. [...]
the U.S. backed opposition, with support from an anti-Maduro western press, has refused to accept the results, undermining the stability of Venezuela’s democracy. [...] The delegation strongly condemns these attacks on the electoral system as well as the role of the US in undermining the democratic process."

How can left wing be so right wing ?
Different sides of the same coin
Good summary of the situation.
Let me start by saying that Venezuela is a wonderful country filled with beautiful people, and a few rotten apples are spoiling the entire barrel.
In my view, the “change or migration” to authoritarianism, dictatorship or whatever you want to call it, started long ago. It is the proverbial case of “the frog in the boiling pot”
The “turning poin” became obvious, for me at least, with the untimely and mysterious death of Renny Ottolina in 1978; I left to find better fortunes in 1981, yes, long before Chavez came to power. Renny was a charismatic, major political and disruptive force to the status quo, swiftly removed from the picture.
Only 5 years later (but really after 20 years of steadily increasing corruption) the economic decline began to show its ugly face “Black Friday” and it has not stopped since.
Fast forward to 1992 when Chavez attempted a coup and got his ass thrown in jail, only then pardoned 2 years later and then became president in 1998. At this point, Venezuela clearly entered a “leftist dictatorship”.
Soon thereafter, the constitution starts to be modified to cement control and all opposition is systematically removed from the picture. Not to mention that corruption was turbocharged to a whole new level.
Fast forward again to 2013 with Maduro, and turbocharge everything again. This is an old playbook, “get rid of the competition and control everything”
All of this is being done in plain sight and under the cloak of “democracy” only to “legitimize” the existing power structure and make it very difficult for international forces to intervene.
Capriles, Guaidó, Machado are only some of the latest prominent opposition leaders “removed from the picture” or “neutralized” politically. The can play in the sandbox but are not allowed to win.
All the while, due to the awful conditions, millions of citizens who could mount any opposition have left the country, about 8 million or roughly 1/3 of the population. That’s a lot of votes against, also “removed from the picture”.
Something terrible HAS happened in Venezuela, but it wasn’t sudden and Maduro is only the latest piece of the puzzle.
They are playing the “long game” and by now, after decades of total control, “They are guarding all the doors”
Hope alone won’t fix this situation, Venezuela needs a “Neo” and fast.
He did not win far from that
I am sure he won. The international observer reports will make it clear. Even some of the other candidates have already admitted he won and it was fair. Of course western media will never admit it.
Yes he did
You mean win the hearts and minds of the people?
This is the proof that a country can vote itself into communism, but you can't vote yourself out of it. Sadly a lot of Latin American countries haven't learned the lesson yet. Cubans from Miami warned Venezuelans and they didn't wanted to listen. Sadly the same is happening to Mexico, we are next.😢

They thought they had a shot, when they lost, their default opinion was to seize the power - this bit at least was anticipated and planned accordingly.
The thing to remeber about Venezuela is it has twice the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. This makes it a very big prize for US sponsored right wing governments. They recognised Guaido for 3 years as the legitimate president until even the right wing parties in Venezuela told them he wasn't.. There's a lot more going on here than meets the eye. Lift the sanctions that have impoverished the country and forced millions to leave.. After several US coup attempts you can't just take it on trust that Maduro didn't actually win fair and square..
things were living in misery and leaving in droves way before the sanctions . if you lived here you might have seen it
@@elarepero7326bro, are you Venezuelan? Where do you guys mostly go? How do you legalize yourself in the US?
I just live in the other hemisphere and completely out of context, but living in a dictatorship with fake elections is something I am so much familiar with. Your experience, if you have it, may come in handy down the line.
Average salary under Maduro is 30 USD for those lucky enough to work. Still couple of bucks higher than Cuba but Venezuela is getting there quickly. At least Cuba is not pretending to be a democracy. Socialism literally kills people. As for oil, Venezuela has vast reserves of low quality oil that takes expensive refineries to profit from. Not even China wants to invest into corrupt system only to see its money vanished. Chile is the country Venezuela needs to emulate, not Cuba.
the search for legitimacy that Maduro made by allowing an election will end up backfiring. Legitimacy, both inside and in the international community, is the key word that explains things and will determine the future.
No It won't
Blinken calling the kettle black!
My problem is fraudes don't just happen in Venezuela. Dictatorship is not just in Venezuela, but the west still makes deals with illegitimate government. So why should I care about Venezuela?
More and more sociopaths
That's capitalism result.
VIVA Mr. NICOLAS MADURO AND VENEZUELA👏 🇻🇪 LOVE FROM SENEGAL 🇸🇳❤ 🙏
Same story in Iran. What we have learned in 2009, Venezuelans are learning today.
More like what you have learned in 1979
@maverick7291 Not really, people used to vote in record numbers during the 2000s when the reformist agenda was popular. In 2004, almost 84 percent voted, and the regime used the high turnouts as a way to legitimise itself, pointing out that more Iranians were voting compared to Americans. However since the brutal crackdown in 2009, the reformists lost popularity, they gained some momentum in 2014 again, when the nuclear deal was popular, but since then no one is voting.
@@amirhosseinhosseinzadeh7627 I'll tell you secret about how Iranian elections works...come closer so I can whisper it because it such a well kept secret. Are you ready?
The Ayatollah always wins
So voting has been making a joke to Iranians since 1979. Enjoy the revolution because the Iranians are really revolting.
what are you talking about? Venezuelans have been stuck with these turds since 1998. This is nothing new.
@RM-el3gw Yeah but they thought they can make a difference with voting in the system, which clearly didn't work
If the people don't want it then I don't care it is what it is change won't come by praying.
I don't think getting rid of a power hungry dictator is a terrible thing.
This dictator did exactly what a malignant narcissist does “ bring you up and up and then pull the rug under your feet
he raised the minimum wage and offers benefits...its what he can do...at least he does something against the sanctions that are enforced by the whole world, being in the blacklist of america...would they actually lift the sanctions, venezuela could boost its economy and make its currency more valuable by a hundred fold, but people fear communists, for hte simple reason that they revolt and stand for themselves and their own interests...you can't go against elitism or monarchies...because you're gonna be the bad guy.
There's a lot of gold and oil in Venezuela that the US and Israel would love to get their hands on. I'll just leave that there.
Maduro is done.
I don't think Maduro cares if people are in the streets banging their cookery..... socialist governments do not simply "step down". They are removed (and not by elections).
It's unfortunate that the Venezuelan people do not have a right to bear arms.
When things don’t go the the colonizers way they complain
Que no ven que se han matado a miles de venezolanos sin juicio? Ahora mismo caen estatuas de chavez, solo falta su legado.
Those who make peaceful protest or transfer of power impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.
5,150,092 votes + 4,445,978 votes = 9,596,070 votes.... 5,150,092 votes - 4,445,978 votes = 704,114 more votes for Maduro. 704,114 votes / 9,596,070 votes = 0.0733752 or 7.3% margin of victory for Maduro... Which happens to be only 0.2% greater margin of victory than biden over Trump.... I wonder what machines Venezuela is using.
