I think it does matter. Facebook, the owners of Instagram, is where a lot of people get their news from and for a lot of people it is their only news source. Facebook has apparently made an editorial decision that Maduro is no longer the president. Who at Facebook makes these decisions? As far as I know they don’t have editors. Newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post still call him President Maduro.
Reading more on Venezuela, what Chavez and Maduro did was pure idiocy. On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to the results of regime change by the United States given the history of it. Also...

Chavez promised to diversify the economy and do more to prevent price fixing by venezuelan capitalists (who still own the vast majority of the economy), but ultimately was unable to for a variety of reasons - some to do with the fact that much of that money was directed towards things like housing developments for the poor, some to do with generic bureaucratic corruption, and some to do with the US & allies like KSA manipulating the price of oil to destabilize the region.
At the end of the day though, "Bad Economic Decisions" happen in every single country. This isnt something unique to Venezuelan Socialism, it's not something unique to the US's Official Enemies, and it's not something that will be fixed by putting in yet another pro-business neoliberal stooge who will follow the whims of the IMF and sell off everything still state-owned to the lowest bidder.
But none of that's even near the center of the discussion. It's all caricatures of evil dictators stuffing their faces while every single citizen is unhappy and in the streets throwing molotovs. No US media stooge talks about the Caracazo or any of the enormous protests which rocked Caracas before anyone had even heard of Chavez, nobody talks about the staggering inequality that has been the case for decades in Venezuela. Anything that happened before Chavez is assumed to be Perfect and Fine, he just decided to mess things up just for the sake of it.
US State Ideology is incapable of dealing with trajectories and history. Everything that happens in the world happens in a vacuum, and purely because of the personalities of the actors involved.

Feet of clay. Instead of investing in Venezuela's amazing and sustainable agricultural industry, Chavez took the unfortunate and classic route of oil. Without the education and management infrastructure to maintain it. It was another example of the resource curse. And he only had to look at his neighbor peru and the guano crash they sustained in the early 1900's
Like soviet russia. Socialism was put on a backburner and communism was invented to skip several steps, essentially the whole industrial capatilism part, and when that failed, it was a police state all over again.
The only way you get a proper socialist state is through a modern capatilist economy, then you can begin thinking about socialism. But you need the roots of a modern educated industrial society.
At least that is how I read marx. Which is just economy theory from the 1800's. While living pretty rough in london of all places.
Marx like Darwin had no illusion that he was working on a definitive absolute truth. It was an economic theory that future generations would have to refine or abandon.

What’s the logistic here? Some dude says “I’m the president now”, a bunch of people says “We believe you” and now he’s magically in power? Isn’t Maduro still commander in chief? Will the new president fight the military and kill Maduro? What about, you know, the country’s constitution? Are presidents all over the world just saying yes to an illegal coup?
It's not clear how the opposition is going to take power because the military is still on Maduro's side and they don't command enough popular support for an actual revolution to occur. I suppose...
It's not clear how the opposition is going to take power because the military is still on Maduro's side and they don't command enough popular support for an actual revolution to occur. I suppose you could imagine they're vying on US intervention, but from what I understand that's overwhelmingly opposed even by people who oppose Maduro (which, importantly, is not the same as supporting the opposition).
Is there anyone who feels like making a TL;DR on this specific subject? Not overall since there are so many parameters. Seems to be so much information so it might be to much to ask for. A...

Ah yes, the important stuff.
I think it does matter. Facebook, the owners of Instagram, is where a lot of people get their news from and for a lot of people it is their only news source. Facebook has apparently made an editorial decision that Maduro is no longer the president. Who at Facebook makes these decisions? As far as I know they don’t have editors.

Reading more on Venezuela, what Chavez and Maduro did was pure idiocy. On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to the results of regime change by the United States given the history of it.

Chavez promised to diversify the economy and do more to prevent price fixing by venezuelan capitalists (who still own the vast majority of the economy), but ultimately was unable to for a variety of reasons - some to do with the fact that much of that money was directed towards things like housing developments for the poor, some to do with generic bureaucratic corruption, and some to do with the US & allies like KSA manipulating the price of oil to destabilize the region.

Marx like Darwin had no illusion that he was working on a definitive absolute truth. It was an economic theory that future generations would have to refine or abandon.
Socialisms tenets are based on a mobile class that is also middle class. Educated, healthy and robust.
What’s the logistic here? Some dude says “I’m the president now”, a bunch of people says “We believe you” and now he’s magically in power? Isn’t Maduro still commander in chief? Will the new president fight the military and kill Maduro? What about, you know, the country’s constitution? Are presidents all over the world just saying yes to an illegal coup?
It's not clear how the opposition is going to take power because the military is still on Maduro's side and they don't command enough popular support for an actual revolution to occur. I suppose you could imagine they're vying on US intervention, but from what I understand that's overwhelmingly opposed even by people who oppose Maduro (which, importantly, is not the same as supporting the opposition).
I think Russia is correct in saying there will be bloodshed.
Is there anyone who feels like making a TL;DR on this specific subject? Not overall since there are so many parameters. Seems to be so much information so it might be to much to ask for.

As much as I agree, I think the reason it's age restricted is that there's footage of someone being burned to death about halfway though.

No such thing
