“All except three countries in Latin America are US puppets” is about the braindead take I expected of a fascist. Democracy only when it suits you, huh?

Thanks, by the way, for explicitly refuting your own previous point of

They only people claiming fraud are the Americans and the losers.

It is hard to take American voices seriously when they claim to advocate for the people of Venezuela while enforcing sanctions that destroy their quality of life.

lmao. “Mean ol’ America won’t subsidize my favorite fascist regime by granting them access to American markets 🥺”

Funny how it seems like every one of these BRAVE ANTI-US NATIONS is utterly dependent on American trade to guarantee a basic standard of living for their people. You would think the bold socialist nation of Venezuela would be capable of paying retirees more than $2.50 a month and keeping more than 10% of the population above the poverty line with their glorious democratic socialist utopia.

Almost like Maduro’s regime is just a fascist petrostate dependent on outside subsidy or plunder to remain standing, since it has no capacity to run even the basic functions of a country itself, like all fascist states.

Let me know of any groups I missed, but as far as I can tell only the Carter Center and the opposition were on the ground and unhappy with the outcome.

The Carter Center seek disaggregated results by polling station to corroborate the results. The opposition took their own exit polls and claim 70% of the vote. All statements by nations are informed by one or both of these groups. That’s why I said the Americans and losers are the ones claiming fraud. The opposition are clearly biased, while the Carter Center I would go on a limb and call USA aligned.

We could start with all the election observers which Venezuela prevented from entering the country.

But that’s not suspicious at all, no sir.

Ten years from now you’ll still be licking Maduro’s boots, regardless of whether he’s in office, in exile, or in the ground. Fascists just can’t help themselves.

Have a read of the National Lawyers Guild full report, they go through the US’s actions to discredit the election.

Just a few days before the election, on Friday, July 26, 2024, a who’s who of Latin American right-wing personalities sought to enter the country on a private jet. US mainstream media portrayed this as a benign action without recognition of their previous human rights violations and their efforts to undermine Venezuelan democracy. Former Colombian Vice President Marta Lucia Ramirez, who was on the plane, has a long history of supporting campaigns to destabilize the duly elected Venezuelan government. While these individuals claim they sought to observe the election, it is unclear what training, framework, reporting mechanism, or authority they have to do so.

Just noticed your addition to a previous comment:

They are a petrostate, all of their money comes from oil, nearly everything else they have to buy from other countries. Their economy was fucked when oil prices went down in 2014. The biggest buyer in the region is the USA, so when they stopped buying they were double fucked. Certainly an argument can be made that playing ball with USA is the way to go when it’s the easiest path to grow exports. Just a shame that the person to vote for that option is a CIA spy

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don’t be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You’ll be warned if you’re violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
