Friends, just because the US empire is bad doesn't mean other empires are good. Stop this dichotomy without seeing the agency of other people in the world and listening to what they're saying. Don't glorify what is happening in Venezuela. Get educated 👇

@timnitGebru Thank you for sharing this!

Painting the situation in Venezuela as a Progressive vs Conservative issue is many people fav go-to, but it is idiotic. Well-informed articles like this one make a difference.

The regime in Venezuela is an oppressive dictatorship, with fake elections akin to ru and cn.
