To these people "Chinese propaganda" is anything that shows China in a positive light, but is also something so obvious that a toddler could spot it as propaganda. They're so damn smug, they think all "propaganda" is incredibly easy for their enlightened western minds to see right through, if they don't see it, it isn't propaganda, like if it agrees with them.
It's the joke where a CIA agent tells a KGB agent that his country has very good propaganda, but when the KGB agent compliments American propaganda, the CIA agent responds: "You're mistaken, we don't have propaganda in America."
I think that Bolivia is more of a flawed democracy than a full democracy? Bolivia isn't yet socialist, and elements of the far-right government are still in power.
I don't know about Bolivia, but Venezuela ironically has zero pretensions of being a socialist country; there are no mentions of Marx or Marxism in their constitution. It's just that they pissed off the US really hard by daring to be a sucdem country while operation condor was in full effect and while they wanted to force neoliberalism into latin america. They also reverted the US backed coup almost instantly.
Hugo Chavez and Maduro have praised Marxism and Marx IIRC, but they've also both said I think that they aren't absolutely committed to Marxism, but that socialism is a long-term goal.
Pretty much but this is to be expected with government run by Democratic Socialists. They still believe in electoralism and dealing with the far-right in your government is par the course for them.
Despite their pronouncements, I'm not sure if Chavez or Maduro actually believe in Democratic Socialism, or that their productive and militarized forces aren't sufficient enough to challenge the Venezuelan bourgeoisie and criminal elements.
I am from Azerbaijan and they claim my country is a hybrid regime. Motherfucker hybrid of what? a dictator and an absolutist??? I firmly believe western north korea fans are actually mentally unstable in the head. What is wrong with you people? Did you not learn from Soviet Union? Human greed is unstoppable
That's it guys, shut down lemmygrad. Human greed is unstoppable. Lenin was wrong. We are not right in the head.
