There is no takeaway from this experience for our cadre of domestic redshirts aka Berkeley thugs aka antifa aka Soros goons. If you’ve ever talked to a committed garden-variety south American Marxist, the problems in Venezuela are mostly the fault of foreign interests interfering with their Utopia. In all fairness, I have no doubt there is some foreign component, but a free market economic system would be resilient enough to react to circumstances.
And let’s be clear: the Berkeley scum are not garden-variety Marxists who might otherwise be well-intentioned. They are paid, violent, radical Soros operatives, like some of the color revolution cutouts used in targeted ME countries.
They are not Marxists, they are anarchists. They really don’t care about the philosophy side of it that much.
