I’m well aware that the opposition in Venezuela are fascist freaks but many western leftists still claim that Maduro is an illegitimate president, repeating the US State department line. I’m aware of multiple disparate pieces of evidence that counter thus narrative but I’m not confident enough in my knowledge to be able to effectively hold a back and forth conversation.

For this reason, I wanted to make a thread where everyone who has information on the topic and relating could post resources. Mainly in order to make it easier for myself and other comrades to have an accessible resource to access as we are going to be involved with conversation surrounding the topic right now. Although videos are useful for dispelling many myths at once, having links to more immediately forthright sources would be ideal but seriously link anything.

I’ll of course leave some links to Ben Norton’s Geopolitical Economy Report to start off:

      I am angry and sad due to all of US invasion and kidnapping of Maduro. However, at the same time, I am hopeful that a big defeat will occur against the US soon.

        What is your opinion on the reaction of the American leftists to the celebration among migrant Venezuelans?

          I haven’t seen that reaction yet. Maybe, it is due to my avoidance of Reddit and the fascist shithole Twitter. All I can say is that there is an active CIA operation in every social media and it is targeting every one by showing any content in favor of the invasion including Venezuelan gusanos celebrating. Be careful with this because it doesn’t show the whole picture but skewed to the imperialist interest.

        Their kingdom of evil is always fated to fall, but it won’t fall on its own. We will make them fall, the cause is only just.

        Ojalá!

        I’ve been thinking a lot about you, and the infinite gratitude for you keeping us informed, in addition to your personal life and work demands. I’m angry as well, and retain hope that joy comes in morning.
