The US installed the Government in Guatemala when they assisted a junta that overthrew a democratically elected government. That’s before you even think about El Salvador. So spare me the crocodile tears about Venezuela.

In 1954? Grow up Fagan, this isn’t even Castro’s time in Cuba where you would have cheerleaded his anti American imperialism.
Going on about the electoral college, coups in the 50s and Haiti. FFS.
You’re the one who deflected about corruption in Guatemala when the US created it.
The Us has supported some of the worst regimes in the world, but as long as they weren’t socialist.

That poorly argued conjecture implies that the white vote tried to prevent the election of Barack Obama, with obvious undertones of racism when, in fact, 43% of whites voted specifically for him.
They have had decades of elections there ffs including social democratic presidents.
I know your world view was probably formed in college decades ago, but the world has moved on a tad.
Please don’t. He is windmilling about other countries to try to move the topic.
Venezuela is the topic here.
Sneer college
Sneer the world has moved on.
You progress to the personal insult pretty quickly when you are bested in fairness.

The US version of capitalism has the US at the top of the “capitalist” pyramid. Its like “democracy”. The US are all in favour as long as the outcome serves their interests. They have zero interest in the individuals affected.

Those are the facts. Using the word “sneer” because your claptrap has been called out is pathetic.
Listen you’ve brought up Haiti (which you clearly don’t have a notion of), the electoral college and coups from 60 years ago.
This is the here and now.
None at all. That’s why the feigned concern for Venezuelans is sickening in its hypocrisy

Venezuela is now a dictatorship run along the whims of a very odd character. Comparisons with the US are meaningless.
The US has been happy to absolutely fuck any and all countries that don’t toe their line. The US is amoral, but at least you know where you stand with them. Align yourself with their interests and at worst they’ll leave you alone.

Feigned concern?
Do you know what is going on in a world at all? This is a migration crisis caused by starvation. Other migrant crisis from Central America have mostly been linked to extreme violence in those countries.
How much have we heard about Syrian refugees?

And how many of the above have a history of American interference???
Actually mate, I’ve been to several of the countries you’ve mentioned, including a significant period of time spent in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. I know the shite you’re talking, including about capitalism there when it is corruption that is the issue.
I’ve heard it all with Haiti. People still blame the French for the state of things. That’s over 200 years ago now. Things move on.
Sure you have.
