IMHO, the ideology comes second after Venezuela being a part of debate between the West and the likes of Putin, so even if locals themselves resist against Maduro they’d be written off as foreign forces meddling in the politics of the sovereign state (I’ve already seen foreshadowing of it in ml-threads and russian news). If, on the other hand, Ukraine or other state got taken over by anti-western forces, there would be hoops to proclaim that’s what people want or that’s for the cause of ~~anti-~~imperialism. That binary logic may covers itself in legit arguments and historical contexts, like a distorted perception of aboriginal cultures, but the foundational block is usually that, and it’s supported by a whole different stream of propaganda.
I double your last sentence. And it’s people who need and depend on doing that.
