I'll be the first to admit I don't know the first thing about whats going on in Venezuela besides what trickles through from American news sources, which I feel naturally has its own political agenda behind it so I take it with a bit of salt.

I live in a socialist democracy here in South Africa so i can relate to many of your points you make. Especially the divide and conquor. A democracy is also effectively mob rule, since everyones opinions are equal in the eyes of the constitution which is noble in a way

But if you keep the mob uneducated you can rule the mob and therefore rule the democracy. This is a toxic relationship where the people give unlimited power to the government hoping they will act in their best interested but unfortunately, people are easily corruptible and this free reign clearly has build a systematic rule that looks more like a dictatorship than a democracy

I can't image how people must feel having to choose to stay and suffer in the country they obviously love and want to see propser or leave and try to build a better life somewhere

I look forward to your next posts and want to learn more about wahts goign on in that side of the world
