Socialists Stone and Beat Opposition with Sticks in Venezuela After Biden Sanctions Relief

Venezuelan opposition leader and banned frontrunner in the yet-to-be-scheduled presidential election against dictator Nicolás Maduro, María Corina Machado, announced that a mob of socialists attacked her campaign event on Wednesday, beating her supporters “with sticks and stones.”

“More than 100 regime colectivos attacked with sticks and stones and injured numerous attendees,” Machado wrote in a message on Twitter. “The police present, through their inaction, abetted the armed colectivos.”

The term colectivo is used in Venezuela to mean socialist regime-linked armed thugs who have waged campaigns of terror against known dissidents through street beatings, extrajudicial killings, and other violence since the time of late dictator Hugo Chávez. The colectivos, unlike the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB), are not official arms of the Maduro regime and thus offer some distance between the dictator and his oppressive forces.

We already have those. They’re called Antifa.

[imabadboy99]

why are communists so evil? I mean... they are just EVIL.

And they have taken over the Democrat party here in America.

[vpintheak]

Oh, how leftists act when they don’t get their way.

[Eccl 10:2]

The only sources of Leftist influence are: violence, hatred, fear, lies, and lawlessness.

In Nicaraugua, they’re called Turbas Divinas

Just Communist street gangs: Bolsheviks started it, Bela Kun in Hungary, Rote Front gangs in Germany in the ‘20s.

Standard crap for them. Part of their playbook.

2A baby. Don’t take sticks and stones to a gunfight. Unless you live in Hawaii.

I bet they will reemerge stronger than ever before long, probably with Ukraine black market weapons, too.

[neverevergiveup]

Coming too a state near you this fall.

Sticks and stones are probably not going to help them much.

[No name given]

We need a new Pinochet.

[JohnBovenmyer]

Bolsheviks started it Jacobites started it in the French Revolution.

[Antoninus]

I bet they will reemerge stronger than ever before long, probably with Ukraine black market weapons, too.

No doubt they're training them even now.

[Regulator]

You know, I agree with you.

The pictures of the street scenes in Paris came into my mind, and even the Paris Commune in 1878.

I think I want to tie the tactic to Marx and Engels and their advocacy of cadres imposing state terror.

[Regulator]

Sorry, 1871 for the Paris Commune. Working from memory.
