How good is 'We Created Chavez.' I know the writer is a bit of a polemicist -- right now he's defending the Colombian deportations on Twitter -- but I'm curious how his book holds up.

Vlex posted:The Guardian are asking Venezuelans to share their stories about life in the country. No see you guys the middle-class white man who can buy whatever he wants whenever he wants says this is part of a conspiracy. https://twitter.com/ciccmaher/status/732365236062302208 The Venezuelans trolling his TL are pretty great though. I don't think I'd be see humble were I in their position.

El Hefe posted:I actually found some powdered "bebida lactea" brand Milak and its super delicious, tastes just like La Campiņa and if you are Venezuelan you know that's some good poo poo. So how do people actually afford that? Are they just well off enough to pay face value or is there some money-swapping going on?

Silly Venezuelans, staple goods aren't expensive because you can just exchange your dollars for bolivars! http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Do-Eggs-in-Venezuela-Actually-Cost-150-a-Dozen-20160531-0039.html

Best Friends posted:Are the writers for telesur all or mostly Venezuelan? I know a tankie American who worked for Cuban media for a while, wonder how common that is. They hire a lot of Westerners and base them in Quito on a local upper middle-class salary.

GlyphGryph posted:I am a leftist and feeling the same way. But I need to remember smetimes that defenders of monstrous regimes are hardly new or strictly left wing, since some leftists spent a lot of time defending Stalin and right wingers have supported the likes of Gaddafi, Assad, Hitler and ISIS depending on the flavour. Leftists have also defended Gaddafi and Assad, to be fair. They get the extremes of the spectrum.

I feel like on the Venezuelan social media accounts I follow I've seen a huge uptick in food looting over the past ~48 hours. Is that just me or does it reflect reality on the ground?

Al Jazeera English had an interesting interview with a party official in a party governing along with PSUV (forget which, sorry) who was basically saying that although he's a Chavista he's done with Maduro, and other options need to be explored. I wonder how prevalent this viewpoint is becoming? He made himself sound persecuted for it, but hinted that he certainly wasn't alone -- and that squares some with what one poster in this thread suggested about a month ago. Is it possible that as the situation continues to deteriorate Maduro's position might become untenable even within the PSUV? Or am I just being too optimistic? And I suppose that we're so late in the game it might not change much, anyway.
