Edit: this article is pretty good from Nov 7 seems like good context.

I don't see anything in these comments that helps answer the question. We all understand the media is turned against Maduro, they make shit up, etc., we all understand that liberals are unreliable.

I do not understand why every single comment is like "maduro never did anything wrong." How does that educate people? People learn to adopt a particular political line (or face ridicule from others,) but they dont learn to assess facts and reach correct conclusions, they dont learn critical analysis.

There is a 0% chance that the leader of Venezuela has made 0 mistakes while the country is being ravaged by a terroristic right wing, severe economic sanction and deliberate attacks on their markets for decades, capital strikes, several attempted coups, etc. If analysis exists, present it! Dont just act like an ideological parrot. If you have some ideas about it then share them, but I think theres enough comments about "Maduro has done literally nothing wrong ever and there is no basis for criticism whatsoever." I get there are ppl who don't like criticizing AES countries, but the fact that these people dominate the discourse is something that needs to be corrected.

For some people, the "trust me bro" online ML ultra's word is not good enough. I can appreciate the perspective but I didn't become a leftist by not questioning narratives. There are a lot of people who are asking for this analysis in actually serious political spaces, and I've yet to see it materialize. So if anyone has something tangible that can be studied and taken seriously other than VUVLUZELA NO IPONE memes it would get shared.

There are always legitimate criticisms because people are suffering. Even if those people dont understand why they are suffering and blame the wrong forces, doesnt mean silencing them is what is best for our movements.
