need there would have been wide revolts THERE WEREN'T, not even from the wealthy! Although there was an attempted coup and kidnapping, no doubt with funds from the CIA
So The fallacious argument you accuse me of making, I throw back at you, but by no fault of your own. The west gets NYT, WP, La Times and that's about it.

"WATCH SOUTH OF THE BORDER" by Oliver Stone


The west rips Venezuela apart in the media with bullshit and lies. No power in a hot country? No riots, I call bullshit. The power problems weren't nearly as extreme or widespread as the western media says.

Just like the food shortages. hahaha. Everyone had food, what the rich were pissed about was the rising cost of their luxury shit since the "PEOPLES" FOOD WAS SUBSIDIZED AND SUPPLIED COLLECTIVELY.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SUMS UP EVERYTHING

The people had what they needed, to such excess, that Chavez was able to donate energy TO POOR AMERICANS. Did you hear about that in the western media. NO.

But we can wait. I guarantee Maduro or another follower of the principles of Simon Bolivar will win if he for some reason chooses not to run.
