re: #69 Hecuba’s daughter

I have liked Palast in the past and am not an expert on Venezuela, but the book How Democracies Die is no fan of the Maduro regime, which it describes as an autocrat. Most of our traditional European allies support Guaido, while Russia is on Maduro’s side. The working class has often supported dictators who speak to their needs.

It is sad that non-dictators don’t speak to the needs of the poor, but then the rich won’t let them.
