Dennis,

The wikipedia article, if I read it correctly, is clear that Chavez (or socialism) did not cause the economic problems in Venezuela, that things improved radically for a number of years....

Wikipedia -- Recent History of Venezuela

Hugo Chávez's political activity began in the 1980s and 1990s, a period of economic downturn and social upheaval in Venezuela.[1] Venezuela's economic...

Joe Rogan interviews Abby Martin about Venezuela, and other topics. Amazing interview. She's a really admirable human being and so is he!

Ramos claims that his belongings were confiscated and his phone was wiped. “Our cameras and the records of our interview remained behind,” Ramos says. The “government’s intelligence agency cordoned...

I just returned from observing my fourth election in Venezuela in less than a year. Jimmy Carter has called Venezuela’s electoral system “the best in the world,” and what I witnessed was an inspiring...

Well, I do respect your thoughts.

What you are saying though, is not true. Those millions of souls who oppose narco-Maduro and Co. are simply Venezuelans, not "the wealthy white". Those lucky ones...

Perolater,

In your case, this may be true, but I trust Greg Palast's take on this and see no reason why I shouldn't. Those who oppose Maduro have more European ancestry in their blood. Why would...

Purolater, If you hate the Cubans and the Enchiladas so much and consider them the sole source of Venezuela's problems, you are in for a real treat with Elliot Abrams, and Bolton. I know it's...

Absolutely true that most of us have never been to Venezuela, much less lived there. I think what many of those who are anti-war are afraid of is the U.S. 'rescuing' you. In other words, bombing you...

Perolater,

I think that Maduro is definitely exaggerating. I'll grant you that. But I do believe what he says about accounts being frozen, sanctions placed, etc...and how this has placed an...

Purolater,

BBC is mainstream media, not to be trusted...at all...when it comes to matters of war, foreign policy, impartial analysis of domestic political situations. You may want to read up on...

I enjoyed listening to Abby Martin on the Jimmy Dore show on this topic. She seems pretty straight up. Also, for all the talk of people starving under Maduro, I haven't seen any photos of mass...
