How is it relevant to this article?
Here they are correctly pointing out that a dictator de facto is seizing even more power sending his country to a total economic disaster.
There has been no coup d'état, just a rapid descent into dictatorship starting from Chavez and continuing with Maduro.
Exactly in the same way it happened in Italy with Mussolini and in Germany with Hitler.
Your comment seems completely out of place pointing out other completely unrelated political situations minimising the actions of a dictator that is killing hundred of people just because it doesn't fit your own political narrative.
- ushegemony 9y agobravo, less than an hour to invoke Godwins law.
- tigershark 9y agoWe are discussing about dictatorships, it seems a quite fitting argument honestly.
- ionised 9y agoI suggest you read up on Godwin's law.
- madez 9y agoGiven the precedents, the title of the article is bad.
- geezerjay 9y ago> the title of the article is bad. How, exactly, does a comment posted in the comments section means that Venezuela isn't being forced into a dictatorship?
- madez 9y agoThe title claims than Venezuela's situation shows that democracy can be lost. That is akin to saying that a car crash shows that strong enough forces can bend metal. That would be a bad title, because we know that metal can be bend by strong enough forces. Also, we know that democracy can be lost. There have been instances of rather lawful transitions, there are examples of even malicious foreign manipulation.
