One of the best analysis of the situation I’ve encountered so far. Particularly at the 34:26 mark where Brian talks about China and the remaining administration in Venezuela and their difficult position in confronting the empire.

    No, i don’t count Chavez here, while Venezuela is by far the most successful reformist project ever, after quarter of century they are still nowhere near even being AES and have to fight the kind of coup attempts for example Cuba is safe from basically every two years.

      Yeah, pretty much. They made the same mistake as Bolivia did and they’re both suffering from it.

      Like Marx said about the Paris Commune: if you don’t wage a class war the whole thing is going to go tits up.
