VZ Students brutalized by police for peaceful anti-Chavez protests


Oh, but don't worry. I'm sure one of his many Apologists will slither their way in here to inform us all that this is really just propaganda invented by Corporate Boogeymen, or all the many people in this video are just part of the "owning class", or a wizard did it, or something.

Because, as we all know, Marxists have NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER with State violence, genocide, censorship, propaganda, wrongful imprisonment or any other human rights violations they complain about when the U.S. engages in them, JUST SO LONG AS THESE ACTS ARE CARRIED OUT BY MARXISTS IDEOLOGUES.

Blah blah blah blah... students were brutalized by right-wing regimes in Latin America for 50 years and none of your ilk raised a pip. But God Forbid a leftist president do the same.

Chomsky famously showed that the American fascists (i.e. you) divide political victims in two camps: "deserving" and "undeserving". "Undeserved victims" are victims of right-wing regimes...they don't matter. No matter how many of them are killed or tortured they will not be talked about. "Deserving victims" are victims of leftist regimes. These victims will be loudly brought attention to and their cause propagated.

Perfect example, in the 1970s, the Khmer Rouge killed about 1/5 of the Cambodian population in their Killing Fields. Because the Khmer Rouge called themselves Communist and were an enemy of the United States EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY knew about what was happening in Cambodia.

AT THE SAME EXACT TIME, with American weapons, American intelligence and American knowledge, Indonesia killed about 1/3 of the East Timorese population. Because Indonesia was a U.S. ally the East Timorese were automatically "undeserved victims" and so were completely ignored.

It's regrettable that States react to protest against their legitimacy with violence but unless you label the U.S., which also has attacked peaceful protesters before with violence, as a dictatorship then you cannot do the same for Venezuela.

Typical socialist. Divert all attention away from de facto socialist atrocities by whining about imaginary things America did, backed up with the predictable Chonsky lies and propaganda specially designed to whine and deflect away all valid criticism of socialist oppression.
