      Unlikely, the working class supported the government and Maduro, it was only the fascist compradors that opposed him in significant numbers. The government still holds, and will likely place a backuo until the next elections. Coups don’t really work without popular support or more direct millitary intervention domestically (see Pinochet with Allende).

          Sure, but the US and UK had the backing of some of the Iranian millitary. The millitary in Venezuela supports Maduro, due to the history of the Bolivarian revolution.

        Kleptocracy is the word most commonly used to describe Maduro’s rule. I’m furious at my country and Trump and the whole fucking Military Industrial complex. But no need for your constant exaggeration. Sometimes there is no good guys. Just bad guys and worse guys.

          As described by who? Venezuela is a budding socialist country with a flourishing commune system. It’s called a “kleptocracy” by imperialists upset that Hugo Chavez started a wave of nationalizing resources and businesses so that the wealth of Venezuela would belong to Venezuelans, not the US Empire. Stop caping for the empire and downplaying an existing socialist country fighting off imperialism with weak moral platitudes.
