Officials of the Bolivarian Service of National Intelligence (Sebin) retained the deputy Juan Guaidó, President of the National Assembly (AN) and Venezuela’s President-in-charge, when he was going to an open Parliament hall in the north of the country. Minutes later, the parliamentarian was released and attended to the event with a wounded hand and ensuring that the Armed Forces do not want Nicolás Maduro, president considered “de facto” by the Parliament and part of the international community.

    Please let me offer my heartfelt advice from myself as I also have closeted Marxist sympathies. I too feel your frustration and pain.

    There are countless potential converts to Marxism in the world - your friends, coworkers, and neighbors - whose only understanding of Marxism is that it's a tool in the hands of power-hungry genocidal maniacs. And all too often we, Marxists, are too trapped in the dogmas of historical and dialectical materialism to meet those masses where they are, and make a connection with them by admitting that their wrongthink is probably right.

    So consider this a prophetic plea to my comrades in the Party: We are never going to reach the Glorious World ideal Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela until we're willing to admit that Marx got everything wrong.

    @Comrade Chicureo
    You must feel so fortunate to live in the Glorious Bolivarian Republic of South America. Please do explain the dogma of historical dialectical materialism so we can properly understand Marxism.

    Awake fellow comrade Demonic Tree and join our glorious pioneers of defending the unfortunate mismanagement of Marxism in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Diverse members, like ourselves who adhere to the progressive social justice warrior ethic and have been now awoken from our apparent moral slumber! Everybody knows that it is now the ”in” thing to be awoke. Being awake is being correct, and being correct is being well... awake. This revolutionary perception has certain markers, and I have carefully taken a long time looking at all of the evidence, and have thus determined that all evidence points to the fact that we at this news are not just awoke - we're still deeply disappointed of our heroic Karl Marx whose economic theory has somehow failed the Glorious ideal Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

    (Much thanks for the inspiration by fellow comrades, Patrick Edgar and Terrence Hill who remain loyally trapped in the Marxist-Socialist dogmas of historical and dialectical materialism by admitting that their wrongthink is conclusively probably right.)

    When it comes to the Dialectic, the glass is always half empty. ;)
