      It absolutely is. She is doing the same thing China, Iran etc do which is say the thing you are supposed to say publicly to back up your legitimacy while also juxtaposing your stability to the chaos of the “western democracies.” Every time the enemies of america are more diplomatic, generous, good natured, etc it makes the western narrative weaker especially while the western nations are shifting further right

    Violence is the only language the powerful understand which is why they wield it so readily.

    There are armed soldiers on your streets, abducting your neighbors and killing those that get in their way. That is literally violence. Resisting that will be violent. Giving the fascists kicking your teeth in a can of Pepsi won’t dissuade them.

    “By any means necessary” necessarily includes the language of the oppressed and unheard.

      That’s the point of her post. Everyone in the world, including US proxies and allies, are finally recognizing that the US is not the upholder of rules based order and instead is an evil pedo regime of child killers. By condemning the actions of the assassination attempt, she is literally condemning Trump himself because that’s the same shit he does. It’s almost like she is a politician and is doing politics

          The IMF had 5 billion of Venezuelan assets they froze after they decided Juan Guido was the president and Maduro was illegitimate. The only way to get those funds back is to legitimize their government in the eyes of the IMF.

          If all the raging libs here did even a few seconds of research into the situation they would realize they have no idea about what’s going on and stop posting but that would require an ounce of self awareness and a cursory understanding of Marxism.

    When you’ve got a gun to your head fawning behaviour is an expected behaviour. Trump loves these completely free and easy signs of deference, and I bet it helps negotiations with these assholes.

              Did being polite to the Americans help the Iranian government? Did Delcy Rodriguez grovelling stop the US from hijacking tankers, interfere in venezuela politics etc?

              Or with regards to us politicians, who does Trump respect more his followers or people who tell him to fuck off?

              Honestly seeing people stand up for being a Trump lickspittle is just sad.

                Yes it did stop those things? The US has allowed Venezuela to sell oil again, has recognized the PSUV as the ruling party and stopped backing the opposition and publicly admitted they have no support in Venezuela, has allowed Venezuela to fund the legal defense of Maduro and his wife, and is unblocking the 5 billion frozen by the IMF.

                Why do people here insist on having terrible opinions about things they have clearly never looked into? Where did all the Marxists go?

                  Hey thats cute. So your contention is that the US has not seized any tankers or makes any direct demands of control over aspects of the Venezuelan economy since Maduro was toppled? Because thats wrong.

    I dunno what to think about her right now. The funniest thing is that Delcy being in power satisfies no one, she was Maduro’s “fixer” set to tackle all the intractable problems with Venezuela’s economy. And she is hated by the gusanos. Everyone thinks she is as crooked as the rest of the chavistas.

    All I can say is that tweets are cheap lol.

    I’d love to hear interviews from people on the ground and read what they are experiencing.

    As cringey as her tweets are, it’s not like her tweets will change the facts on the ground one way or another. Tweeting “fuck you Trump” doesn’t change material reality, regardless of whether it’s tweeted out by a random nobody or the president of a country.

          Might just be, will you say the same if they restructure 50-150 billion debts with world bank assistance? If they declare gang violence by communes? There are two competing theories here, they are slow walking betrayal or they are biding their time, what’s your deciding factoid one way or the other?

            There are definitely metrics that change the calculus, and look to the communes as the canary in that struggle. On the financial side of things it is challenging to say because of the dire economic situation, if they feel the best move they have is something that still sucks, as long as they are committed to their revolution it is what it is imo. If they start repressing the communes or rejecting chavismo, it’s a bad sign, but the communes could rise up and retake the government at that point still so it isn’t the end yet. For now all levels seem very confident and unified so I’m hopeful

              I think you are overestimating commune power a tad, but also structural adjustment takes time to propagate, i suspect next 2-5 (pending the usa admin hurry) years will be relatively peaceful with privatizations here and there, so that people start to enjoy the superior porky wages/evangelical preachers, and then final push to dismantlement will come, so guess we just have to wait and see
