Yes, and the economic situation.

I have a series that talks a little about the situation, start with this one. #626469

And this is my experience living in Venezuela #378450

I'm going to make a long post with all the details, but in summary: 1- remember that it's a dictatorship, you don't get out by asking for favors or with elections. 2- The political "opposition" benefits from this. 3- They have killed, kidnapped or disappeared anyone who complains about the government, whether in a peaceful protest in the street or for a post on social media.

The people have been fighting with stones since 2000, because the government has all the weapons, including the police, military and national guard, who are all sell-out scum.

Of course, this is what happens when you surrender your “freedom’s teeth”. Perhaps the people should stop working. Nothing will happen until people do it for themselves. The people of Venezuela chose the mess they were in 25 years ago, didn’t they? Now they are having buyers remorse over the fact that they chose the way they did. They got what they wanted good and hard.

Yes, Venezuela has a long history with the left. Don't people have the right to repent? Or don't they have the right to reconsider? I was a child when Chavez came to power, there are 3 generations of us who have nothing to do with the arrival of Chavez, those who voted for him, some have already died or are old. So should Cuba also continue to lower its head? Should Venezuela continue to lower its head? Nicaragua the same?

Yes, they have the right to repent and reconsider. But the only way out of lefty/Marxist/socialism/communism/murder has been violent and by means of weapons. I don’t see the guns coming out in Venezuela, yet. There is no need to lower your head, but there is a need to pick up weapons and enforce your desire for freedom (notice, i am not saying liberty). BTW, it is the same for all those countries you named and more.

We all agree that the assassination of the rulers is the solution. This issue is much broader, and it has not been resolved not because we did not want it but because we are being trampled on. It all started with the prohibition of carrying weapons, then with bribing and threatening all the military forces. The only civilian citizens who have weapons are the criminals and they are with the government.

Weapons are not only firearms. There are a lot of effective weapons to be made from local resources.
