Delcy already made the case for me. They are transitioning to a country with more “freedom”.
Now there’s two lenses to look at the word freedom through, the proletarian lens or the bourgeois lens. Do you think that what she means is that there will be more proletarian freedom or more bourgeois freedom?
The answer to this question tells you all you need to know about the direction of things. The country is going to hand over power to the bourgeoisie, and when they do get that power they will use their time in power to reinforce bourgeois rule again.
I think the best case scenario for Venezuela is that the left ends up still being a force, like in Bolivia, but ultimately not being in-charge. But that is very very far from the AES that has controlled the country since Chavez.
I don’t think you call Bolivia AES. So if Venezuela ends up in that kind of situation, will you still be calling Venezuela AES? If you won’t be calling Venezuela AES because it ends up in that kind of situation then you must admit that this is the end of AES in Venezuela.
When will this happen for you? When a bourgeois party wins the next election will you stop calling Venezuela AES and admit that she ended AES in Venezuela or will you still call the country AES while it has a bourgeois neoliberal party in charge?
It might be worthwhile considering that Great Man Theory isn’t real.

Maybe ponder your presumptions aren’t my axioms.
Venezuela is a pro-social project not a DOTP. The seeds of the DOTP are in the communes; that’s where the base for a vanguard is and for holding the PSUV (which as a whole is not an ML vanguard) accountable.
Gestural aesthetics aside you’re not making the case yet of a path forward that would not have resulted in mass death; if other countries have stood against the Empire and sustained mass death, then their martyrdom is not a purity test for one to hold against states who have a gun to their head too and have decided instead to offer concessions as an oppurtunity cost to a domestic holocaust. Especially pro-social projects under the weight of the Monroe Doctrine.
We aren’t positivists for whom stumbling on the right answer or predictions trumps the journey that took us there. This ain’t polymarket with red characteristics.
No need for white-man’s-burden with sickle-and-hammer aesthetics; we are both on the outside looking in.
Not a man.
If it doesn’t matter you wouldn’t care so much about trying to convince people she’s not a rat.
You would’ve defended Gorbachev too
Out of arguments already? Oh wait, you never had any to begin with.
Oh there’s a group of you communicating with one another? Interesting.
More projection
Projection about… My secret support for Gorbachev?
Come on at least make sense
