They're getting bolder and less fearful of repercussions for telling the truth about what they really want to do.

History is repeating itself, replace the word oligarch with the word Jew in the article and I think you'll get the picture.

Now to be fair they had/have some truly awful "oligarchs" (Not sure I even like using that word) that treated people pretty much as slaves. But as has been proven time and time again every time we have one of those "socialist" revolutions the old set of oligarchs are merely replaced with a new and "improved" set of socialist oligarchs and the slaves get some fancy new slogans on tee-shirts.

The only thing missing from his explanation was a quote of admiration for how Stalin handled the kulak problem...

Tried to backtrack, but didn't go very far.

Quote
“It now seems clear that whatever advances were made under ChÃ¡vez, the regime is now locking up members of the opposition, targeting journalists and violent protests are ongoing which are unacceptable.
As I remember it, Chavez DID target journalists. I thought he took over the main news outlet in the capitol.

Venezuela has also tried to directly blame the jooz. I think many saw the future and left.
