An image is worth more than a thousand words

This imposing image, taken in Táchira, Venezuela and published on the social network Twitter, speaks for itself of the actions of the "antichavistas", and at the same time augurs what would happen if the ultraconservatives take over and try to obtain a victory by the force.

In a journalistic language it is very common to hear the phrase ¨an image is worth more than thousand words¨, no one can doubt that this reflects the true behavior of the violent Venezuelan right wing.

The so-called "opponents" of the Bolivarian Revolution not only set fire to children's hospitals, destroy facilities at the service of the people and "occupy" fuel tankers, but also, use torture to impose terror on the society, and even murder their own countrymen.

These "opponents" of President Nicolas Maduro and of the revolutionary process led by Hugo Chávez are the ones receiving US funding and unconditional support from the Washington-based Organization of American States (OAS) and its current Secretary General Luis Almagro.

They are the same ones that the OAS and Almagro call "democrats that fight against the dictatorship of Maduro", and are being encouraged from the North American territory and some countries of Our America
where neoliberal regimes prevail.
What kind of "democrats" are these people that through violence, torture and crime want to take over Venezuela, rejecting the dialogue and whatever pacific formula is proposed to put an end to the current situation in the country of Bolivar.

Without being in power, they already use methods reminiscent of fascist Germany, Italy, or Spain, and the "Pinochet" dictatorships that subjugated Latin America at the end of the last century, all backed by Washington, and of which the OAS was always an accomplice .

The rage of the oligarchies in the face of the popular governments as it happened with Salvador Allende in Chile is identical to the one distilled by the violent people in Venezuela and other nations of the Homeland where processes take place in favor of the most dispossessed and who advocate regional unity and integration.

The representatives of neoliberalism use every possible trick to overthrow revolutions, including terrorism and fascist practices. The image that accompanies this journalistic note confirms this.
