You do realize that nobody except hardcore Marxist useful idiots (for any jury members who get chosen to read this comment if it's flagged, do understand that "useful idiot" is a historically common phrase to denote people who are propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, this is not meant to be used as an insult) are the ones who at this point keep clamoring the tired notion that the US/CIA/corporate elites are behind every cat stuck up a tree in developing countries, especially those ruled by anti-US nincompoops like Maduro. No matter how much you try to sell it, people with common sense are not gonna fall for this BS anymore. It's the reason why Chavismo had a colossal loss this past election, and why they will continue to lose. Accept that Chavismo is done with, the pseudo-"revolution" that Chavez started was an utter failure that is collapsing under its own weight. If you can't see that, though, well, then you're simply too ideologically blinded to change your mind.
