As a lover of historical revolutions I cannot wait to see how this one ends up. Also is n Korea gonna revolutionize in my lifetime???
Ilikerandomgifs
No, nobody wants to pay for re-educating an entire nation. "Cheaper to keep 'er" is the saying

That has happened here (usa) too. May need to again.

Come on USA! There's a lot of oil there!
username000176
Didn't work out too well (no pun intended) last time a oil company opened up shop in that country
sandpapermassage
Not now Venezuela...the USA is putting up a better show at the moment. Youll get your turn.
PlacesAroundTheWorld
They need to start a revolution. Protesting won't do anything. They need to fight!
LiquidPoo
No teeth.

I thought it was the Milky Way :)
HarryHobo97
How long has this been going on? Feel like the Venezuelan government is just going to wait it out until the ppl either lose moral or starve
fantomarko
That's actually the plan of the government. Let them starve to force them to negociate.
hinoyminoy69
The people will protest until the military does a coup'etat or they hold elections. Morale is very low at the moment and production has 1/2
hinoyminoy69
Fallen to an all time low 2/2

Reminds me of Egypt.

Prince of Egypt?

I copied the title from ABC News. It's definitely a dictatorship.

Someone who incarcerates opposition, controls the media and modifies the constitution is not "sliding". is a 100% dictator

Has anything changed? or have people just gathered peacefully standing around without changing anything for 47 days straight?
Jusmar
Nope, its gotten waaaayyy worse
Spikelf
Candle sales are through the roof. I heard Steve in marketing is getting a corner office
sharkbitez
Nothing has changed and it hasn't been peaceful. The government is repressing protesters. Death toll is at 26 I think. Plus hundreds wounded
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
Jesus that must be tense. going out there everyday to stand for what you believe in, not knowing if things will turn violent that day.
hinoyminoy69
Death toll is above 40 at this point. Many political prisoners have been captured.
fantomarko
42 deaths atm. Teachers and doctors have joined the protests.
hinoyminoy69
The saddest part about all this is that classes have been cancelled. All these people about to graduate now won't be able to and will 1/2
hinoyminoy69
Have to wait another semester or year to get out of the country. Not the saddest part, but I pity them. 2//
jetflight
Not quite true. The riot police is crumbling, fair few of them refuse to shield Maduro from the people any longer.
Zeales
As of May 6th the Deathtoll is at 38 and those Officers refusing to fight the protesters? 85 of them, all in jail now.
jetflight
Thanks for the update. This was not sarcasm. (Thanks, Obama, for making it so I have to specify when thanking someone over the internet...)
KaiserSkald
Communism, not even once.
jetflight
ib4 college leftists leave a pile of "b-buh not muh true communism!" salt.
hinoyminoy69
I'm surprised this post made it past the socialist brigade
hinoyminoy69
Preach.
polmyrr
Communism is just a term people use to disguise an old fashioned dictatorship.
KaiserSkald
That's how it always ends up anyway.
polmyrr
They seize the means of production "for the people", but really just monopolize it even further.
BellsTheorem
Any ~ism taken to be the solution is bad. The world is nuanced.
KaiserSkald
Some -isms are just evil. Nazism and communism are amongst those
BellsTheorem
People are evil, not ideas.
KaiserSkald
Not necessarily.
watupbro
How is communism evil?
KaiserSkald
Over a hundred million dead and he asks how the ideology is evil lmao you can't make this shit up
watupbro
Communism is a humanitarian idea. Its like saying capitalism is evil because People die because they cant afford healthcare
BellsTheorem
Communism didn't kill a hundred million people. Leaders did. Communism is just an idea.
KillingTheJoke6
Protests aren't doing a damn thing
Skittleballs
So India is still British after all? Huh. I could have sworn the whole protest/General Dyer slaughtering the protestors thing had an impact.
eggmuffin
Protests have worked in the past, and there is no reason why this impressive display of popular displeasure can't have an impact.
sprayingmantis
Imagine the effect on the economy! That impact would definitely be felt by the government.
OneZebraInAHerdOfWildebeests
All they care is their own well being and that's taken care of thanks to good old black gold.
hinoyminoy69
And also they are all narcotraffickers AKA "Druglords."
hinoyminoy69
The population isn't armed and the military supports the president (because of money) so there isn't much else they can do.
OneZebraInAHerdOfWildebeests
Here's a thought... Ambush by machetes, steal bigger weapons. Overthrow.
hinoyminoy69
The thieves will steal them from the ordinary people before that even happened
OneZebraInAHerdOfWildebeests
Enlist thieves to the resistance
KillingTheJoke6
The population can organize and ask for outside help for a regime change. As they are essentially being held hostage.
hinoyminoy69
They have.
