Leftists voted in a socialist paradise, but now the food is running out and they want capitalists to rescue themselves from themselves. They wanted Maduro let them have him.

Well I've read the wiki and it seems as usual resources are the driver. But I found this funny.
Response to Pat Robertson assassination callsEdit

After prominent US evangelical, Pat Robertson's on-air call for Chavez to be assassinated in August 2005, Robertson was condemned worldwide, particularly by the Chávez administration, who reported that it would more closely scrutinize and curtail foreign evangelical missionary activity in Venezuela. Chávez himself denounced Robertson's call as a harbinger of a coming U.S. intervention to remove him from office. Chávez reported that Robertson, member of the secretive and elite Council for National Policy (CNP) — of which George Bush, Grover Norquist, and other prominent neoconservative Bush administration insiders were also known members or associates — was, along with other CNP members,[citation needed] guilty of "international terrorism". Robertson subsequently apologized for his remarks, which were criticised by Ted Haggard of the U.S.-based National Association of Evangelicals. Haggard was concerned about the effects Roberson's remarks would have on US corporate and evangelical missionaries' interests in Venezuela.

Pérez Jimenez Regime (1953-1958)Edit

After Dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez overthrew the elected president, Rómulo Gallegos, and seized power in the 1948 Venezuelan coup d'état, the Venezuelan economy experienced a boom[citation needed], born from Venezuela's great oil wealth. During this prosperity, foreign investment, particularly from American oil companies, grew along with the support from the Jimenez Regime. The staunchly anti-communist regime allowed and supported the exploitation of the country's natural resources by the American oil industry, as a portion of the profits made its way from companies like Mobil and Exxon[11] to the personal coffers of Perez Jimenez. For his support of these American companies, he received the Legion of Merit from the U.S. Government in 1954.[12]

At the same time, United States intelligence agencies collaborated with Seguridad Nacional to silence communists and social-democrat voices in Venezuela.[citation needed] The Seguridad Nacional, headed by Pedro Estrada, disappeared and tortured thousands of Venezuelans, both in its headquarters in Caracas and in a confinement camp on Guasina Island in the jungles of the Orinoco. After the 1958 Venezuelan coup d'état, when Perez Jimenez abandoned the government and the country on January 23, 1958, more than 400 prisoners were found in the basement of the headquarters of the Seguridad Nacional.[13]

After reading a bit it seems they are like most poor countries. They have oil reserves, one of the largest if not the largest. But dicktaters backed by various countries over the last 75 years or so have either squandered, " remember Marcos wife's shoes" or relied on oil prices for 75% of the economy. The oil crash in the 80's and other times have killed them for one. They came up with the best agreement on oil in the early 90's where the country got 50% of the oil profits. A world first. Later they nationalised the oil. Since then fracking, solar, wind etc. has had a major impact on oil prices. Then pressure from governments in the form of attempted coups and embargos have finished them off in the last 10 years. So it seems normal on the global money scam.

The current situation is that Maduro truly rigged his election by calling a snap election then disqualifying the major parties. Near election day, anybody who his spies even thought of voting against Maduro was excluded from the polls. The opposition called a boycott of the election and a tiny fraction of those eligible to vote showed up. Meanwhile in the economy, when Chavez was in control, he personally set the price of their currency without any rhyme or reason. This was OK when Venezuela commanded high oil prices. Once prices collapsed, nobody knew how to price their currency. Meanwhile, maybe it was for economic reasons, maybe mismanagement but the oil producing infrastructure started to decay. Oil production went down, the Venezuelan currency dropped in value on the open markets. Nobody wanted to sell their goods in Venezuela so food and medicine became unavailable. Then Chavez died.

Maduro inherited a shitty economy and that was just fine with him. He's been beating and murdering people at will for a while now. The elections were rigged. Nobody recognizes him as a legitimate leader and pretty soon his head will get chopped off if only they had a guillotine. Inflation is running in the thousands. People are leaving the country simply because they can't survive there. By their constitution, the successor to Maduro would be Guiado who seems fearless.

I was reading about the press. I would imagine Putin is pleased.

I was reading a story about Colombian rebels as well. I thought a few years ago they were heading towards legal weed. But I just read the government is cracking down again on farmers in the last few years due to us pressure. Rebels starting up again.
