    I think the Venezuelan example is less about purging your political opposition (Guaido is after all, still able to run around pretending to be President without any punishment) and more about removing disloyal elements within the Military, and entrusting domestic security to mass armed militias.

    A large reason why the coup occured in the first place was that the opposition to Morales was repeatedly unable to get him out through electoral means.

      I didn't word it properly, which is that the Venezuelan right is evenly distributed through the country as is the left. In Bolivia, it's essentially Santa Cruz vs the andean communities rather than being clean ideological politics.

      Guaido not getting what he deserves is necessary. Alive he's a fucking joke. Dead he's a martyr. I really hope Maduro is doing everything he can to protect him.

      Anyhow, so happy right now.

        Would be hilarious if Maduro was working Guaido and was like "No, you have to stay and try coup after coup.... but each one has to be even more comical and pathetic than the last"
