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’ve seen many claim Maduro has killed opposition with no actual proof, are there any sources they’re even basing this claim on? All I could find were just reference to the 97% approval rate

      Claims like these annoy me the most because it’s never substantiated, it’s just endlessly repeated as a cliche.
