Maduro disolved venezuelan parliment!

10 bucks Molymeme is going to talk about it soon.

All power to the Soviets!

Is Maduro a tyrant now?

What will ML with bus driver characteristics look like?

Can someone explain why the court gave him this power? Did they cite evidence of sabotage from the opposition or something?

Oposition was alredy being a pain in the ass for the goverment so they just got Rid of them before they fucked the country even more.

OH BOY

A blyat for him.

wait so this is actually good news?

yea but what was the legal reasoning?

It was for defience of authority, the oposition was not respecting such authority só the court gave him the Power to do such action.

No, unless you are one of the dumb morons who believe telesur to be decent news.

...

So they have to obey the President? In what way, and to what extent?

Lets not spout memes so fast guy, we still don't know if he's actually going to give the moP to the workers

Basicly Just dont try to do para-military guerrilas or be the US little bitch and you probably will be fine. Something that the oposition dident do.

To be honest, if Venezuela gets stabilized not by introducing free market capitalism but through more collectivization, the right and retards like Molymeme will be EXTREMELY buttflustered

Let's hope for the best

Might as well. All the anti-communist fedoras already pretend that Kerala doesn't exist. They even hate to mention Cuba.

It's always Venezuela here, Venezuela there.

So, is this it? Will Burgerland bomb them and put Leopoldo López or whatever Pinochet-like puppet they like best in their wreckage now?

True. Either way this is habbenings

Nah, burgers can't do that because they can't use the Cold War as an excuse anymore

US isn't gonna bomb (it's too expensive and might even cause civil unrest) but get ready for a "color revolution" where suddenly a bunch of "young liberals" connected via "social media" who also get supported by some quasi-fascist milita.

Cold War still exists, it's now against capitalist Russia and to an extent China.

And US has been letting puppet organizations the dirty work. Check Syria, Libya, etc.

It's not like they tried to do that in 2002 against Chavez

Obviously they're gonna try but there's not much they can do without being overt.

Maduro is Nazbol?

Even if he revealed himself to be a secret clone of Marx and implemented the most perfect doctrine ever devised, it still wouldn't matter. Venezuela is shit, a Venezuela which is actively being undermined by the West is even more shit, and a Venezuela which just gave a perfect casus belli to the "democracies" of the West to squeeze it even harder will soon reach new levels of shitness.

Should have paid attention in those spanish lessons, damn.

You really think it's that easy, right? You just "hand over" the MoP to the workers (whatever you mean by this) and that's it, right? I wonder why nobody before had this idea.

Haven't you been listening to Wolff? Worker management is LITERALLY socialism.

The problem with that ruling is that the TSJ (Supreme Court) suspended them even though the CNE (National Electoral Center) never said that there were voting irregularities. The National Assembly ignored it because it was an invalid ruling that only existed to take the opposition's 2/3 majority.

Nah, Venezuelans will still starve and the other countries will still look the other way. Nothing will happen.

What part of this could "go well"?

...

Come on, we're in the real world, not your ideal universe. Maduro will never do shit like this.

Why not?

Well might as well give up hope altogether then because [x group/person] would never do [good thing] anyway.

Why wouldn't he? What does he have to lose?
The opposition will undubitably call for intervention now, regardless of what he does next.

Identify this semen demon

Was anything preventing him from doing that since he was elected? Is that thing gone now? Come on, use your head.

He had local allies, a semi-functional economy (2 years ago) and a democracy to uphold, all of those are gone.

The opposition will just sit there and do nothing, same thing they've done in the past decade

Yeah the national assembly dominated by the opposition party. Thats gone now. How about you use your head dickwad?

Nice defeatist attitude.

Could someone tell me what the source says in English?

I wish they would just sit there and do nothing. ~100 politicians dont do shit.

Didn't the opposition basically call for foreign intervention a couple days ago? I bet this is the chance they were waiting to do this. Both Maduro and them.

This looks ugly.

Here's some "news" about some unidentified muslim-y group going through South America's possible route, which the Venezuelan government supposedly enabled.

abc.es/internacional/abci-ruta-yihad-traves-venezuela-201703241040_noticia.html?ns_campaign=rrss&ns_mchannel=abc-es&ns_source=fb&ns_linkname=cm-general&ns_fee=0&voctype=vocfbads

It's in Spanish, but that's basically the gist of it, complete with accusations of Venezuela having allowed this for years, and also not collaborating well enough with embassies (such as the one in Kuala Lumpur, where this groups is presumed to have gotten their passports) from preventing this.

Maybe they'll link them to the Islamic State like they do in the Middle East and bomb away.

meant regional, like Brazil, Argentina and Peru.

American Liberation soon

This. There is no hope for socialist Venezuela. Its sad but true.

Maduro was elected in 2013.
The opposition won the national assembly in 6/12/15.

Hard to have any hope left when someone that was born when Chávez was elected is now old enough to drink (legally, lol).

This is ludicrous tbh, and will be the end of the left there.

Maoism + oil money sounds good enough for me, stop being so dogmatist.

The end of the left (left as in socialism) happened a while ago. After this government, there's no doubt that most people there will twitch when they hear "socialism"

He still has 2 years you faggots, he's also largely responsible for OPEC cutting back production, go shill somewhere else.

So?

Go blindly for success even in failure.

I don't know, getting rid of someone that has only shown how he can fail and replacing him with someone that would have to try hard to be as bad as that sounds better to me. Keeping Maduro in power would only fuck the image of socialism over even more.

What are the legit polls/approval ratings on him?

It'd be pretty shit to have a """socialist""" leader that doesn't have the support of the workers.

Bakara from the Dofus movie
Have you been initiated into Dofus/Wakfu yet?

How are there jihadies in brazil on the first place?

And no, Maduro has shown no intentions of actually starting socialism.

Doesn't mean there isn't a chance. Something has to come about, it just has to.

Here's one of them: el-nacional.com/noticias/gobierno/encuesta-senalo-que-mas-venezolanos-desaprueba-gestion-maduro_85179

I mean, ISIS is an "international" movement/organization. The fighters in Iraq/Syria, are predominantly foreign fighters. And I know they have some stuff going on in the Philippines, so having guys in Brazil isn't impossible.

Although of course, it could just be propaganda to justify intervention.

No fucking clue, dude, they just say it's a route they took through those countries, the information they have is really vague. Some nationalities are mentioned and say they looked muslim, that's it.

I'm enraged

The worst is behind us,.
He has made a massive effort to improve food production and forced employers to cede their employees to help in the fields, Venezuela's Economy will be much more resilient after going through this.
It's not a humanitarian crisis for you to whine about, it's a Nation's struggle for self-reliance and self-respect in the Global Capitalist jungle.
Most 3rd world countries didn't have 30 years of Mao's leadership before being launched into the Global marketplace, they're weak and vulnerable, one step away from crisis.

reply to

Yeah, this power-grab sounds like a bad idea tbh

Comrade, Hispanics can sometimes look Arabic.

There are actually millions of arabs living throughout Latin America, mostly Lebanese/Syrian christians. That's why Kebab tacos are so big in Mexico among other things.

I've heard of some Afghan tribe coming to Dominican Republic but didn't know there was a larger group.

Nonsense. Venezuela under Maduro is the best controlled opposition anyone could hope for. The West will continue to sabotage the economy while letting Maduro continue with his dumb shit. Attempts to establish socialism anywhere else will have to contend with the existence of Venezuela.

...

Drunk spic here, feel free to give me a link to any article on the subject you want translated, I'll do my best to get the main ideas.

What's your opinion on Chavez?

what's the alternative? when chavistas go, the starving fascists takeover and whore out the oil to porky

...

Sounds fair to me. Americunts are screaming their heads off about election interference right now, and they don't even have evidence.

The current vice president of Venezuela, Tareck El Aissami, is from a Syrian Druze family that was close to the Ba'athists back home. Hezbollah also gets lots of funding from expatriates, much like Irish Americans used to fund the IRA.

Mate.

I know bourgies aren't merely reacting to market forces, they are to some extent conspiring in malicious activities to protect their class rule, even when that goes against their own short-term profit interest. But Maduro has been doing wrong things for years. In the past 100 vzla threads or so we had, buried under a pile of shitposts, there has been some broad agreement between lefties and not-lefties (not the HALPIAMRAPEDANDSHOOTEDINTEHHEADRIPME kind), about what would be the right thing to do.

When poor people can't afford some things, and you address this by regulating the production of some basics with subsidies, lower taxes, or price controls (the last one is particularly crude, especially if there is no investigation whether the production is particularly monopolistic), this is very bureaucratic and has plenty of side effects: The goods get cheaper not only for those who need that, but also for those who can afford the goods anyway. You also risk that people export these things, whether that's legal or not. Giving cash to the poor is more to the point. The question is should that be just no-string-attached cash transfers or linked to a government job creation program. I prefer the latter, though even the straight cash program would be an improvement compared to the BS they have been doing. (I don't claim the opposition is any less braindead.)

And also: Pegging the exchange rate doesn't work (ask Thatcher), you need to let the exchange rate float.

So wait, they can get power back just by kicking out the three legislators? Lame.

Why? They have arable land, shorelines, and resources. They can make it work.

He's got the mustache to get the job done right.

He's got better ratings than Trump, and that's DURING an economic depression.

Would really have preferred Maduro to just win back the support of the people. You don't need price controls to build socialism and it has really messed up the economy.

Non whites are incapable of effective self rule.

Lolwut? Is that supposed to mean something?

Trump is a complete fucking moron, and has the lowest approval rating in American history. Great bar you're setting there.

...

Hey, I never remember your leader being on the bottom-left corner of the political compass.

It means the poor ratings are largely because of the market crash. If Maduro has the power, he can turn shit around. Then he'll have good ratings again.

Calling it now.

What was it?

friendly neighborhood Holla Forumsyp and a one line post.

They deserved it.

So basically,

…is what you're saying.

Here's an article with a translation of what the first opposition National Assembly President said about this:

caracaschronicles.com/2017/03/30/henry-ramos-allup-explains-supreme-tribunal-ruling-shutting-legislative-branch/

holy shit THE MADMAN. maduro is going to agitate the southern cone neoliberals into taking covert action against memezuela

The best case scenario is that Maduro hands over economic management to someone who isn't retarded.

Of course, transitioning away from an oil based economy is good, and it is only the left that even has the stomach for this. Socialism should only be implemented where it could aid this transition ( ie worker protections to improve efficiency) since a country fully dependent on oil will never in a million years sustain a successful revolution.

Maduro is even dumber than Chávez and I don't care what happens to Venezuela.

(I still miss Fidel.)

they can't even handle the ongoing strikes, what can they do to maduro?

SOME RED TEXT BECAUSE I'M A DUMB GAY BABY WHO WANTS ANSWERS

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, BUT…

Venezuela's economy is such a trainwreck that full collectivization just might actually be the most sensible option, is that true?

Also, does anyone have any idea what percentage of their economy or lands are collectivized?

Also also, can all this mess be blamed on sabotage? I know Chilean Porky and the CIA made a mess by controlling delivery trucks, but Venezuela's crisis seems even worse.

This will end in disaster, and all you mongs will stamp your feet, blame the CIA and scream "NOT REAL SOCIALISM".

How is this good in any way, jesus christ.

Better to die on your feet and so on…

BASED MADURO

...

The assembly was controlled by fascists, saboteurs and booj lapdogs, good riddance indeed

Venezuela's economy is completely fucked already, because Chavez thought that it was alright for the country to have only one significant export. Central planning will not be able to fix that without a diversified industrialization on the level of one of Stalin's five-year plans. The country will have to feed itself, because once they start shooting bosses and landlords the embargos will begin. They can do it, but it will be rough for five-to-ten years.

That is if Maduro actually has the balls to try socialism. I am not convinced that he does. We will find out when the CIA assassins start showing up in his palace.

I really feel worried for Venezuela. I want the CIA to keep their dirty mitts off and let this play out.

?
Redpill me

All I know of this situation is that there's a food shortage and the people are doing too hot.

Is this western propaganda or the work of his opposition? Either way I just don't feel like having to explain another starvation meme so power to him.

*aren't

As it seems there's is no genuine grab for power. The secretary of the government of Amazonas offered money to groups of people to vote for the opposition so the Venezuelan supreme court suspended the election results. Despite that the assembly swore the opposition in and as a consequence power was taken from the assembly. The article 336.9* of the constitution grants the supreme court that right. All the Assembly would have to do in order to regain their legal status is to suspend the illegitimate law makers and hold new elections. Up to this point they've not done that. Funnily enough the U.S. already decried the whole thing as an attack on democracy. I guess we all know what comes next.

* venezuelaemb.or.kr/english/ConstitutionoftheBolivarianingles.pdf

1/60 of US GDP, but universal healthcare, extremely high literacy standards, comparable lifespans to USA and Europe, etc. It's a nominally ML government in power, but they haven't been able to abolish private property or seize total state control. Almost all social programs are administered in a decentralized fashion by a form of council democracy known as "gram panchayat" or "panchayat raj", a proof of the basic concepts of anarcho-syndicalism and communism in general working in practice.

I hate how tankies always praise Cuba and Kerala as socialism - yeah, they're examples of economically-viable alternatives to the current flavor of capitalism, but they're not yet socialism because they don't meet the full criteria in the objective definition.

This is very positive news because now the right wing national assembly cant sabotage the economy to make maduro look bad.

Does anybody actually believe the "attack on democracy" shit after the shitshow of the last election clearly proved that the US doesn't have any democracy?

The majority of the 20th century already proved that the US didn't even believe in democracy

You're shit at making jokes.

Here's what Chávez had to say about this situation in 2010:

Doing what Chaves couldn't do in more than 10 years, very nice.

ayy lmao

that image makes me melancholy

Please detail how this would be in any way socialism even if he did place everything under state-ownership, since you clearly have such in-depth understanding of what real socialism is.

"A Guide BY Dumbfucks" would be a better title. It's a completely inadequate definition of the term which could even be met by certain forms of capitalism and is vague enough that even tankies claim to uphold it.
