Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution has been in the vanguard of the Global South. In contrast, President Javiar Milei’s government in Argentina represents the logical, though absurd, consequence of extreme neoliberalism, which he calls “anarcho-capitalism.”

    Venezuela is a beacon of national sovereignty and social progress.

    This is the trash that is upvoted here? Venezuela is a dictatorship, and Maduro is not supported by the people. And Maduro has succeeded in making an extremely oil rich country one of the poorest in the region, where even toilet paper is in shortage.
    That’s very far from being a beacon of sovereignty.

        I only skimmed to see what it was about, but stopped because I found out it is bullshit. So I don’t really know what it says about Argentina.

    What kind of stupid propaganda piece is this? Venezuela the vanguard of the global south? Maduro is a dictator. Chavez at least won elections. Maduro doesn’t even have that going for him.

    As far as I’m concerned, South America is wedged between two power hungry idiots: Milei and Maduro.

    Milei is a monster, but Maduro is a tyrant who has

    • overturned election results
    • wiped out the free press
    • eliminated the independent courts
    • jailed thousands of opponents
    • killed/dissapeared 20,000 of his own people
    • made refugees of 8 million of his own people

    Maybe count me skeptical of an article that characterizes that as “a beacon of national sovereignty and social progress.”
