"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Idk this video. But venezuela was a military coup, venezuela's generals made a deal with the us admiistration to sell out the president, and allow their helicopters through after identifying loyalists. The generals are now the de facto rulers, overseeing the selling out of assets.
If history is any guide, and it is this is classic latin american coup playbook for the us, when resistance forms to selling out resources, the army will campaign against, them, then in operations they don't want to do personally, they will employ paramilitaries, to go through with death squads and collectively punish villages and the like, paid for by black market drug and weapons sales.
not really, the power structure barely changed with the US power play. In fact more staunch loyalists took over like Delcy Rodriguez, whose father was literally executed by the CIA goons in Venezuela for being a revolutionary. These people are not your average petit bourgeois politicians you find everywhere in latin america, their struggle against US imperialism is personal.
I guess Maduro's concession to Chevron wasn't enough. Not enough until full capitulation for Venezuela?
