[Isn't it amazing the significance a movie can have for protesters? I don't even remember the name of the movie—but certainly the mask]
Another very interesting, detailed analysis of the events going on in that country from BBC @
BBC News - What lies behind the protests in Venezuela? Well worth the time to read.
V for Vendetta. It sucked.
The reason for the protests is simple -- socialism, aka; dimocrap ism. It doesn't work. never has, never will.
Unlike our resident dimocrap scum, Chavez and Maduro took power away from Urban dwellers and distributed it to Rural peasants by a sort of gerrymandering.
A representative District in Caracas (With One Representative, like one of our Congressional Districts) might have as many as 300,000 people in it.
While a representative district in the rural areas might only have 10,000 people in it -- Total.
They do this so the socialist scum can be over-represented and they can run roughshod over the wishes of the better educated, more Spanish blood people in the Urban areas.
The people in the Rural Areas are mostly Indian, or at the best 90% - 95% Indian. Mestizos. Which just about everybody south of the Rio Grande is anyway. To some extent or another.
Since the Rural people started with shit, I mean honest to God shit, they don't care about the economy in general going to hell. All they care about is the hand full of free beans they get every Month. And the few pennies they get that's stolen frome the people in the Cities who actually produce something.
They fucked up. Big time. It was the Urban people, the very people that are protesting and dying right now, that empowered and voted in Chavez in the first place.
Now they gotta pay.
They thought they were cute, smart, so awfully progressive and haute culture.....
Now, they gonna pay.
Just like our very own dimocrap scum if they ever get what they want.
