I’ve seen someone mention that this is comparable to the build up to the invasion of Grenada, so not very large.

Well, it’s more a historical observation that still holds true today.

Thieves, pimps, general folks with high material struggles, these are all people that can be outright bought with money to do anyone’s bidding.

They can be hired to kill or snitch or generally go against the interests of the proletariat.

There is no way the masses can satisfy the material needs of the lumpenproletariat in the same way that the bourgeoisie can, and so, the lumpenproletariat is much more easily swayed in favor of counter revolution.

When the gringos start suffering under the boomerang returning home, I hope they don’t expect sympathy from the rest of the world.

Good, don’t give the gusanos an inch

Everything is part of the AI bubble

Everything is bubble

everything’s broken enough that everyone’s just like “when do the air strikes start”

Mostly because Venezuela can’t do shit offensively. We can only see the empire do this and wait

That does it then, the coup is done.

the most successful electoral socialist project in world history

Highly disagree, that’s Chavez.

Love me some chickdicks

Yeah I just coined it

I don’t want Gonzalo or Pol Pot memes in my polygonal website kthxbai

I believe there will be more strict crackdown on revolutionary ideals to prevent a re-run of the Cultural Revolution. All of the leadership today, the liberal reformers, were victims of the Cultural Revolution.

Europe in the 19th century was haunted by the spectre of the French Revolution.

The world bourgeoisie in the 20th and 21th century are haunted by the spectre of the Russian Revolution.

China in 2025 is haunted by the spectre of the Cultural Revolution lmao.

New Nazi Germany vs USSR vibes

I’d be worried that this is astroturfed by the west

They can’t astroturf a “Gen Z” protest in Mexico, what hope do they have of trying to sway radicalized youth in China?

They actually tried that BTW, that was Tienanmen Square in 1989.

Whether this was irony pilled Gen Z black humor, or whether they truly yearn for a rerun of the CR, it doesn’t matter.

Well, if western Internet culture history says something is that what the kids might meme about can become serious in the future.

8 years ago, Hitler memes, Anne Frank jokes, racist jokes, and stuff like that was meme material and not taken seriously. Now look at the rise of fascism worldwide.

Anyways socdems will always socdem

You are answering your own question. Any openly communist business is bound to be harassed by fascists and reactionaries, as well as the state.

I can only assume getting the funding for a business like that will be very hard.

So that’s why there aren’t many communist businesses. At most, as someone said , you might find small anarchist co-oops

Do you imagine the kind of major fucking insurrection (I’m out of better adjectives in English lol) that would unfold if he got shot in public at a time like this?

They would give a martyr to the Venezuelan people larger than Chavez himself.

If only they gave this guy some silly TV shows instead of being president of the USA.

Good ending
