State department propaganda, whether about China or Cuba or Iran or Venezuela is not too reliable. But conservatives love that shit while thinking they are so anti elitist.... useful idiots more like.

Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Russia and many more are effectively under US sanctions that hurts the poor a lot more than the rulers. So it's a good way to foment revolutions in those enemy counties. This post had no mention of sanctions so it was probably composed by the state department and sent along to the assets in Venezuela, and here it is on an erstwhile libertarian site.

I actually sent this to my assistant, who lives in Venezuela, and asked her to review it and see if it jives with the situation that she is seeing on the ground, to publish it.
