The 26 richest people on Earth own more wealth than the bottom half — 3.8 billion people. From South Carolina to Seoul, workers today are saying that we can no longer tolerate such obscene inequality. They understand that when we stand together, we win. #MayDay
@eastcodiesel@AOC I am not a fan of Maduro. In fact, I’m. It really a fan of government at all.
I am arguing that Venezuela needs to work to make things better. And the “global police force”/Empire🇺🇸 is not helping the situation at all.
The main reason “we” have involved ourselves is oil.
@eastcodiesel@AOC You mean they are backing the guy who is the rightful and legal leader? While we work to prop up the opposition.
The US is an Empire. The world has just changed a great deal over the last 3 centuries. Follow the money. In a capitalist society, capital is what rules.
@eastcodiesel@AOC Why is Venezuela such a priority?
Those effort and funds could be used to help the millions that are hungry, homeless, and vulnerable domestically?
Why is it easier to rally around a war than it is to alleviate poverty?
I say leave Venezuela(and any other nation)the fuck alone.
Go to Congress and make your case, and try to get approval for a U.S. war in Venezuela. Tell us how many American lives may be lost, forever.
Until then, stop the neocon bluster and saber rattling, @SecPompeo.
@eastcodiesel@AOC If the Empire🇺🇸 hadn’t cut off their revenue streams and pushed Citgo to abandon their oil to appease sanctions imposed by the Empire🇺🇸
Venezuela should have access to their money! All of this talk about humanitarian aide is poppycock.
Give them THEIR money and let it go.
@eastcodiesel@AOC They have the largest oil reserves in the world.
This is about access to that oil.
The man was elected democratically. And he wasn’t called a dictator by the Empire🇺🇸 until a year or two ago (after dropping the petrodollar)
@Cyb0rgism@cactus_ivy@philosophrob We people?
I’m not sure what group you are lumping me in with...
I do not support a dictator. The man was democratically elected in 2013, and there was little/no talk of him being a dictator until the petrodollar was dropped.
@Nightshift10000@implifica Who is training our Police to act like a military and treat citizens like "enemy combatants?" ...that is the million dollar question
