Venezuela: Beyond False Choices

There are not enough words to explain what is going on in Venezuela.

It's years and years of history that go far beyond the current government. You cannot understand what is happening today without looking at centuries of colonization, extraction, foreign intervention, and internal power structures that existed long before Chávez and certainly before Maduro.

At the same time, I do not want to see anyone suddenly engaging with the current news while completely ignoring what has been happening in Venezuela for the last 26 years. There is a reason why millions of people have been forced to leave the country.
