Do you really know "Real Venezuelan People"? What do you call "Real Venezuelan People"? Unless you are from Venezuela and have lived there you have no idea who the "Real Venezuelan People" are. Like in most countries of Latin America, communism has always been a part of the culture, in the sense that there have always been communist parties trying to convince people of their rhetoric, but what you may not understand is that South Americans like the easy life, they like the parties, dancing, singing, to make love, they live to party, if possible every night...This thing of communism has never been anything taken very seriously. As an example, Teodoro Petkoff was for many years the leader of the communist party in Venezuela, he owned a few Rolls Royce, lived in a very big house, attended all of society's big parties, like those at the "Country Club", "El Paraiso", etc. He was never taken seriously, to an extent that he was allowed to run for president on every election. Venezuela, and the "Real Venezuelans" have always loved the USA, and those protesters you are referring to were a very tiny minority, some of them spent years at the University causing riots, never graduating...I wish you would not talk about the "Real Venezuelan People" if you are not one of them, because if you are not, then you don't know.
