Under Chavez, it failed to do so. Destabilizing Venezuela, toppling Maduro, and reestablishing oligarch power appears a top initiative. Events going forward bear close watching.
A Final Comment
Over night, this writer's Caracas contact emailed the following:
"A Venezuelan in Privileged Area Was killed for being a Chavez Supporter.""Venezuelan oligarchy managed to market violence through TV enough so as to accomplish accidental violent acts driven by hate."
"There are seven people killed because of Chavez's Maduro victory, to my knowledge, and it appears that the most privileged side of Venezuela cannot hide the intentional way in which they broadcast fear and hate just like it could be observed in the US during some of the past decades."
"The Venezuelan opposition says there will be riots. They are the ones planning them."
"I have observed people driving their cars or their work vehicles. No one appears to be in the mood of rioting, except for isolated groups in corners making noise."
