This Pod Save America neoliberal praises Trump's murderous blockade of Venezuela for "cutting off their ability to have an economy" & calls Trump appointing far-right coup puppet Guaidó an "impressive diplomatic play"

Warren agrees

Bipartisan imperialism
Trump's illegal blockade of Venezuela has already killed tens of thousands of civilians. It is mass murder and torture of millions to try to force regime change

Elizabeth Warren and the neoliberals at Pod Save America support these crimes against humanity
thegrayzone.com/2019/10/11/lif…
Many people across the world, especially nations in Latin America suffering under US hybrid wars and blockades, see no significant differences between far-right bigots like Trump and liberal imperialists like Elizabeth Warren.

Both support the same crimes

Chilean rock band Los Bunkers played concerts in front of the message: "The owners of the newspaper you read funded the death of Víctor Jara"

Jara was a famous leftist singer murdered by the US-backed Pinochet regime

(To be clear, these photos aren't new—they're back from 2012)
In the massive protests in recent weeks against Chile's Pinochet-esque billionaire oligarch President Piñera, protesters have been honoring the legacy of Víctor Jara and singing his songs of resistance
After the 1973 US coup against Chile's elected socialist President Salvador Allende (very similar to the coup in Bolivia we are seeing now), Pinochet's soldiers rounded up all the leftists and threw them in a concentration camp

They cut off Víctor Jara's fingers, then killed him

I did an interview discussing the historic strike in Colombia and how Chile's billionaire Piñera gov is shooting protesters in the eyes

I linked this to the uprisings against similar neoliberal reforms in Ecuador and the US-backed military coup in Bolivia
In response to massive protests and a strike in Colombia, the far-right government of Iván Duque has imposed a curfew in all of the capital city Bogotá
elpais.com/internacional/…
In recent weeks the US-backed right-wing regimes in Colombia, Chile, and Ecuador have imposed curfews, in an attempt to quell huge popular uprisings.

Meanwhile Venezuela's elected President Maduro still has not declared a curfew, even when the opposition was burning people alive

Amazing video. A young Venezuelan soldier calmly explains to right-wing opposition activists why they should unite as a people against the US blockade, and how Bolivia and Chile are repressing their people

This shows how Venezuela truly had a revolution
Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution totally transformed society. Workers developed a deep class consciousness.

I've spoken with poor Venezuelans in working-class barrios who have a much better understanding of politics and imperialism than many US academics
thegrayzone.com/2019/08/14/pho…
Hugo Chávez reconstructed the military and police forces, making them progressive, nationalist, anti-imperialist, and class conscious, including many women and poor, dark-skinned Venezuelans who had been left out of society

I filmed these police at a protest in Caracas in August
