If your point is simply to try to show the government does have some good initiatives which may in some places be working, that's one thing, but using it to deny the crisis is playing the old worn potemkin politics. But at least this one was less laughable than his other supermarket visit, where he walked around an obviously high class supermarket and showed packed shelves to prove there was no crisis! What an idiot, how can anyone take this guy seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbXqGiNlWWw On Sat, Mar 9, 2019 at 7:52 AM John Reimann via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > POSTING RULES & NOTES > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > * > > Wouldn't you know it?

[Marxism] Blumenthal in Venezuela

Our dear friend and "journalist", Max Blumenthal, has traveled to Venezuela to deny the fact of any crisis there. There are legitimate debates within the left about the cause of the crisis in Venezuela. Likewise about the popularity - or lack of it - of Maduro. But the existence of a crisis there? No, there is no serious debate about that. Clearly, Blumenthal's visit was coordinated by the Maduro administration.
