Why can’t Evo Morales walk around freely in #Bolivia while Guaido does so in #Venezuela ? Cuz Bolivia is now a dictatorship and Venezuela isn’t. Venezuela is actually less authoritarian than the USA where a Guaido equivalent wld be quickly droned

How does Venezuela's dictator, Nicolás Maduro, prevent his leading opponent, Juan Guaidó, from being re-elected by the National Assembly, which was eager to do so? Bar him from entering the National Assembly. Not even the pretense of democratic procedure.

Fidel Castro died four years ago on this day. He was a towering champion of the oppressed, but we shouldn't ignore the limits of the socialism he helped build.

George Orwell was a self-professed socialist. The Right’s misreadings of his books like “Animal Farm” and “Nineteen Eighty-Four” have less to do with his actual work than with its anti-egalitarian agenda.

Ecuador’s homicide rate fell by an amazing 2/3 while Correa was in office & it became 1 of safest countries in LatAm. But this article is so cynical that it sneakily depicts Correa, and not his sworn enemies who have government since 2017, as being at the root of the problem.
