Among the party’s motions on foreign policy is Motion 116 which commends Venezuela president Nicolas Maduro “and his comrades” for their continued success in implementing the Bolivarian Revolution in the trying circumstances after the death of Hugo Chavez. The motion also condemns “the attacks of the right-wing forces on the democratic process” in the country and attempts to destabilise Maduro and his “clear and transparent” victory in last year’s elections.
imagine the socialist hell sinn efin/ira would inflict on the people of ireland, thankfully they will never be in that position
That’s some horse shot you opened with… Have you ever questioned why sections of Latin America went so drastically to the left? Perhaps if other countries were not so deep in their pockets and so involved in their political process certain countries might be a lot more stable. I’m not backing Chavez’ regime but the distribution of wealth was hardly just…
The likes of Hilary Clinton and the political establishment in the US fucked up Venezuela a lot more then Chavez.
A lot of his policies/beliefs were good.
It’s only words on a screen.
No doubt Chavez was elected for a reason but the socialist ideology the hard left espouses always ends in an economic car crash as once you remove fruits of hard work then human nature is the hard work ceases and you enter a spending death spiral.
Gilmore used to go around campuses in Ireland telling the student population what a great place Albania was when he was USI President. Old habits die hard.
The Brits would invade before they’d allow that to happen.
And that’s justification for flipping it the other way and having 90% of the country living in poverty? How about foreign powers playing a part in aiding democracy instead of stripping the country of its assets? Anyway, I already said I didn’t favour the hard left so I don’t know why youre lecturing me on it.
Not a believer in the purest form of socialism, but in it’s defence; the socialist ideology always ends in an economic car crash because the capitalist countries place trade embargoes on them for attempting to give the profits of the nations natural resources to the people rather than corporations and, when they aren’t making it impossible for the countries to trade with the rest of the world, they spend the rest of their time trying to assassinate the leaders of the countries and funding right wing alternatives to stir up domestic unrest. They are terrified that socialism might be a success.
I was going to list a few examples but actually you’d be hard pressed to find a socialist country that the US hasn’t interfered with.
Good post, they don’t even have to be out and socialist for the US to interfere either.
Do south/central americans despise the septics?
They fuckin should.
Everyone hates them, but they all wanna be them.
I’m watching Narcos at the moment so I’m all over this shit.
That’s some headline to be fair.
Videos circulated on social media showed a man piloting the helicopter while holding a banner that read “Liberty. Article 350”, in reference to the part of the Venezuelan constitution that allows citizens to declare themselves in civil disobedience in front of “any regime that runs counter to democratic guarantees or undermines human rights”.
What a great clause in the constitution.
I’m not sure shooting grenades from a helicopter falls into the category of Civil Disobedience.
They were protest grenades
Did they have a designated protest sticker on them?
