The nasty side of the social justice movement is pretty much limited to the internet or student groups, it's certainly got no influence over the Democratic Party, it may have some hold on the Green Party though.

Social Justice? Esa jerga socialista mi no entender...

I don't know about the other Democrats in the party but I personally don't like the Clintons because Bill's community reinvestment act pressured the US financial sector which eventually caused the financial crisis years later, which the US still hasn't recovered from.

In regards to the social justice community, I's say there's a very real concern about the same sort of intellectual laziness creeping into it as it becomes more mainstream that enabled the rise of demagogues like Chavez in the first place; when it becomes possible to short circuit a debate by a using an opponent of racism with no burden of proof (or in Chavez's case calling his opposition pro-imperialist elitist cronies or what have you), it's only a matter of time before an opportunist exploits that to gain power.

According to them, no, we aren't.

I mean, right now we're still living on the last few fumes of what there was before, but once that's over seems like we're going to be worse off than them, according to the estimations and rate of economic decrease.

Syria: war economy with heavy Russian backing

Ukraine: recession and war but no scarcity

The IMF believes we are suffering from hyperinflation, It's not, It's mostly caused by Chávez's insane dollar change control that creates the black market.

If by October we get rid of Maduro and unify the dollar, among other things, the price of many things will go down to a 1/4 of their current value.

El gobierno ordeno por decreto la incorporación de trabajadores de empresas publicas y privadas a labores agro-productivas. Vigente por 60 días.

Esto se hizo un Cuba con motivo de recoger la zafra azucarera y en el Chile de Allende, mediante y que un '"voluntariado"...

Muy pronto nos pondrán a cantar el himno nacional de Cuba.

Bah, esto es como lo de los gallineros verticales. Una orden de cartón para guardar las apariencias, porque aquí no hay ni los medios para trabajar con nada agropecuario, ni la voluntad de nadie para hacerlo, ni la competencia/conocimiento/disposición de los enforcers para hacerlo cumplir.

Maduro hablo de Pokemon Go.

Y dijo un monton de cosas que no tienen nada que ver con ese juego.

Y dijo "GU" en lugar de Go. ¿Como cagas una palabra tan simple?

The price of a few things has gone down with the black dollar, Internet is getting crappy everywhere, the price of cellphone using and Internet has also gone up but this is all predictable.

En Venezuela una de las primeras leyes que la MUD acepto como coordinadora democrática en la AN chavista sin casi resistencia, fue la ley que indica que en el país hay un nodo único de acceso a Internet. En esa ocasión sólo hablaron por globovision y en horario de cero público que se crítico por escueto y poco difundido. Sólo Ledezma crítico esta distinción junto con Ojeda, cuando aún era de oposición. Aunque no la pegaron porque no son informáticos si tenían razón al criticar.

Ningun proveedor de internet puede tener "red propia" toda la Internet pasa por CANTV si o si. Con excepción de los que tengan vía satélital con proveedores no Venezolanos puede hacerlo sin pasar por el filtro de CANTV con su antena parabólica y una tarjeta PCI conectada a la PC.

La razón es para aplicar la misma censura de China, Syria y Cuba a sus ciudadanos. El día que quiera el gobierno puede eliminar para Venezuela cualquier página web, o tumbar la Internet para todo el país.

Esto ocurrió el día de la elección de Maduro como prueba para ver cómo reaccionaba el pueblo.

[up] I "think" this was what you had posted about above (I don't know Spanish other than what I can glean from English or French cognates), but Venezuela has a new forced labor law as a means of dealing with food shortages.

Edit- Better link I think.

[up] Yeah, by decree Maduro just declared the slavery of the Venezuelan people.

I don't think anything is going to happen the PSUV has a rejection of 90% more or less and not even their own workers want Maduro in power anymore but It's still indignant.
