29 May, Maduro announced the creation of two new organizations: a special anti-terrorist security command to "guarantee peace" and the Zamora 200 Constituent Commando which will be responsible for "Constituent Street Government, Organization of Structure and Electoral Political Machinery, Strategy and Propaganda, Permanent Mobilizations and the Front of the Social Movements".
His new 'anti-terrorist' organization is commanded by the director of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service.
Once again socialism requires a police state to oil its machinations. Now the slaughter may begin in earnest, be institutionalized and blamed on the great right wing conspiracy. He can round up all opposition for the good of the country and the safety of the people. Maduro has his GeStaPo and Brown Shirts.
Yes Democrats, this is the world you ask for when you push 'common sense gun legislation'. The world where only proper government authorities (and criminals who may be the same people) are armed and the people will comply.
No lessons will be learned as we watch this unfold.
Every socialist thinks they are smarter than the last batch that failed in this experiment.
As long as they rise to power. That is what is important.

I am not so sure the leaders really think they are all that much smarter or that the experiment failed. If you look at if from their perspective, they are living the life of a king regardless of the squalor into which the rest of the country sinks to support their locust-like life of splendor. My guess is that they really just don't give a damn about the rest of the country.
Now, the rank and file socialists who support those on top--they are just impossibly stupid.
I asked him, "Should you now say to the students who've learned from you, 'Socialism, in practice, often wrecks people's lives'?"
Chomsky replied, "I never described Chavez's state capitalist government as 'socialist' or even hinted at such an absurdity. It was quite remote from socialism. Private capitalism remained ... Capitalists were free to undermine the economy in all sorts of ways, like massive export of capital."

And that is the exact point of the last sentence in my post. As long as "They" rise to power.
This is getting REAL!! I think the purple armband is a nice touch. Dude has an ID and everything.Sometimes, the difference between reality and video game cut scenes is hard to make out....

So, grenades aren't exactly barrel bombs, but this Oscar Perez guy could get real-world famous.

Could be the beginning of the end if the military and police turn. It would be over very quickly if they do...
In fact after watching the video that's so lame that it's more likely a false flag event to give Madero a reason to full military crack down. Anyone who knew what they are doing had to know what he did was going to accomplish nothing of value.
