RE: ADSactly World - Venezuela and the Destruction of its Democracy
It is up to the Venezuelans to get themselves out of this mess. We can assist, but ultimately democracy will only prevail if Venezuelans liberate themselves - as interference from foreign powers will be viewed as suspicious by Venezuelans, and will only play into Maduro's hands.
The tactic of the opposition (those that were not arrested, that is) was to boycott the vote, which essentially handed Maduro the presidency. I for one do not understand this tactic, as if you don't vote, then frankly you get what you're given.
Completely agree with this. It is necessary to have in change in the mindset, and understand the importance of having complete individual freedom.
Not right now, each passing day more and more people are thinking a military intervention is the only way to get out of this mess. In Venezuela people don't have guns to fight against totalitarians.
Voting in Venezuela is pointless because the government control the organism who host the elections (CNE). The complete electoral system is corrupted and participating in the voting process would only legitimate such a system.
