And all over media yesterday the sad story of Machado and her Oslo peace award repeated over and over as the headline on how her daughter had to accept it because Machado was in hiding! What! Not another victim! It headlined all canadian media reminding us again we live in 1984, our government and media control our thinking

Maduro is no friend of the Venezuelan working class. There is an active socialist opposition in Venezuela which issues statements on its site 'Venezuelan Voices', such as:

"It’s important to note that a large segment of the population would mistakenly agree with US intervention, while another sector views it with indifference. There is an explanation for this: it is due to the widespread repudiation of the Maduro government, which makes any action that damages the government look favorable. This is a consequence of the situation created by the government with its extreme austerity measures, starvation wages, and repression of all dissident. All of this has generated social unrest in the country, which is expressed in this attitude of indifference and, in some cases, even support for a possible military intervention that would mean Maduro’s removal from power.

We, from the Socialism and Freedom Party (PSL), have been arguing that in order to overcome this real division that exists within the Venezuelan people and to unify the working class against a possible military attack on our country, the government must break all economic ties with imperialism, terminate joint venture contracts in the oil sector with imperialist companies such as Chevron, Shell, and Sunergon Oil, which has just entered the country, among others. While warships are being deployed in the Caribbean, the Venezuelan government continues to grant concessions to US transnational corporations. We say that we must affect the economic interests of imperialism and expel these companies, as well as imperialist companies in sectors such as finance, telecommunications, oil services, etc. Similarly, we demand the immediate release of all political prisoners who reject any kind of imperialist intervention in Venezuela, such as former presidential candidate Enrique Márquez. We demand the legalization of left-wing parties such as ours, Marea Socialista, the Communist Party, and other left-wing and democratic organizations that reject any imperialist interference.

How can Venezuelans defend their country if they feel injured by the government’s austerity measures, with terrible wages, no collective bargaining, terrible public services, and thousands of people imprisoned or under precautionary measures? To achieve the necessary anti-imperialist unity of the Venezuelan people, the aforementioned measures are urgently needed."

That's what I said. Somehow, the Left makes up their own rules and they get away with it.

You didn't answer my request. In your first comment, you claim that the Left gets away with the crimes described in the article. I asked you to provide examples of the Left committing such crimes. Where are those examples?

Venezuela has always been inclusive with regard to their elites. They were invited to contribute to the people's assembly but can't take being a minority within the country.
