| When the USA says it wants to see Democracy in Venezuela, what do they really mean, and what is their real intention? |
The usual call from the Powers-That-Be, in the rich Capitalist countries of the West, is for the "deprived nations" to be converted to "Democracy" (by force if necessary) as a solution to all their problems!
What? All by itself? And just by suggesting it?
"No, of course not: they will need guidance from US. We would send people in to help!"
What "people"? Soldiers with guns?
"Well occasionally, yes... There will be opponents to Democracy"
You should recognise the programme by now!
They have been "helping" in this way for some time... in Korea, then Vietnam, and latterly in many parts of Latin America, not to mention Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Yemen and many others. Will Venezuela be next?

Can Democracy really be instituted this way?
Emphatically NOT!
Emphatically NOT!
Real democracy has to be an authentic bottom-up struggle of the people against the rule of rich and powerful individuals and cliques. For if the powerful remain in place, the resulting "Democracy" will always be a fake - indeed a DeMOCKracy, often worse than the system that preceded the regime change.
And what above all other factors prevents Real Democracy for forming?
And what above all other factors prevents Real Democracy for forming?
Concentrated Wealth and Power will always kill it STONE DEAD!
So, all the means of establishing Wealth as an End-in-Itself must be made illegal, by a new democratic state! Inheritance of Wealth must be illegal too. While these unfair concentrations of power exist, the people cannot truly rule themselves.
All enterprises must become state-run services or grassroots worker cooperatives. And both Local and National Democratic Government must institute both full and regular information directly to the electors in public meetings, with an instituted instant recall, and immediate replacement of misbehaving / corrupt representatives.
Democracy means
Rule of the People,

Democracy means
Rule of the People,
by the People
and
For the People
So, schemes instituted from above (or outside) are always intended to remove real democratic power.
