5. The counter-revolution is almost complete

Out of the frying pan back into the fire.

Maduro could have capitulated to the onslaught of the international financial .01 % oligarchy sooner and allowed his nation to go back to their former masters, but he decided to match their ruthlessness to defend Chavez's democratic socialist legacy. But he fell into their no-win trap. They knew the only way to stop the multi directional attacks, including the collusion with the terrorist state of Saudi Arabia to flood the market with cheap oil, the suppression of necessities, along with right wing owned media smears, was to get more draconian himself. It was a deal with the Devil that he cannot win. Its all really sad for the people there.
