I am flooded with news I don’t even know where to begin first the US and AUS made a deal about their rare earth minerals second Venezuela’s about to go to war and third the government is still in shut down? And to top it all off theres an ai bubble thats about to burst I don’t even know what’s going on anymore half time the world goes back to a semblance of sanity and the next some of the goofiest shit happens I can’t tell if Trump will succeed by some divine miracle or if the incompetence of his own cabinet and himself will derail him

    My understanding is that Venezuela is not socialist (at least in a Marxist sense) and it’s more akin to social democracy like you said, but I’m not very knowledgeable on Venezuela as a whole. There is this 2 year old video by Brasilian Marxist content creator Ian Neves about Venezuela being Socialist or not and its history. I’m rewatching it right now.

    Other than that, the ProleWiki page on the PSUV is very short but classify the party as being democratic socialist. The page on Chavismo is a bit bigger and provides more context into the ideology.

    One thing I remember hearing before is that Venezuela is one of the countries with the biggest amount of observers in it’s elections, but I can’t find a source for that, all I get is news and articles claiming the last elections lacked transparency and were fraudulent.

    Still, it would be better to ask other comrades here and/or on Hexbear about it, they will have much more resources about it.
