Social media is flooded with people celebrating the events in Venezuela and it is not abnormal to feel frustrated or even confused by this. This is part of the plan to legitimize these events. This is how consent is manufactured.

You are fighting the CIA and multibillion dollar tech companies shaping these narratives. We as communists are simply outnumbered in this, so it is normal to not reach the crowds they do.

Practice marxist discipline, read theory regarding these subjects. Books like the Jakarta Method or Manufacturing Consent are good starts. Read in on Venezuela. Head over to prolewiki to see what’s available, and don’t lose hope.

Edit: or, as comrades here said, read Inventing Reality instead of MC

    thanks…sometimes it feels like people are truly happy to see a president being kidnapped by false accusations of a regime ruled by an old pedophile with dementia, or that really think that the issues that venezuela faces were just chavismo’s fault and not by the sanctions and a well-oiled propaganda machine

      The CIA propaganda machine is working overtime these days. To counter it here and lift the mood, I will try to post the reality that they are struggling to hide which is the massive protest against the USA and in favor of Venezuela’s Maduro in Venezuela and around Latam.
