They want you to think what’s happening in Venezuela is about “authoritarianism”. It’s not.

It’s about who ultimately controls more than $14 trillion in mineral resources - a national government or Western globalist bankster elites?

It’s about which geopolitical bloc will gain access and influence over these resources - the Western global financial empire or the emerging BRICS trading system?

What’s happening in Venezuela is part of a broader historical struggle between national movements and a system that condemns them to perpetual underdevelopment as cheap exporters to Western oligarch cartels like Blackrock and ExxonMobil.

“Democracy” and “authoritarianism” are slogans that Western gangsters use as cudgels whenever their material interests are threatened.

If you’re buying what Elon Musk is selling, you might as well believe in Santa Claus.

    Sorry to break it to you, but fascism has been in the US for a while now, especially since the duopoly is in power; they are paid and bought for.

    Fearmongering for more endless wars with foreign countries does not help any of the working-class people; it just helps improve quarterly profits and bonuses for the owner-class and their lackeys.

      Eh fascism is built into the bones of America. But with time and effort it can be rooted out. Call out storage shit. It doesn’t do well in the light of day.

        Quick reply:

        I don’t agree with you on that.

        It comes back to reformists and revolutionaries.

        House slaves versus field slaves.

        Owner class versus working class.
