Dead Pundits Society

Joining us this week to talk about the Venezuelan crisis (both real and imagined) is Timothy Gill, political sociologist at University of North Carolina - Wilmington. We break down the crisis, assess the phony border standoff, discuss the realities of foreign aid and US imperialism, and offer some suggestions for how we might escape these impasses. Is Maduro a dictator? Should he allow in USAID? What should be the socialist demands with respect to Venezuela? Tune in and find out. Find Timothy Gill's recent writings here: -"Why is the Venezuelan Government Rejecting U.S. Food Supplies?," https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/02/22/why-is-the-venezuelan-government-rejecting-u-s-food-supplies/ -"How Washington Funded the Counterrevolution in Venezuela" (with Rebecca Hanson), https://www.thenation.com/article/venezuela-washington-funded-counterrevolution/ *** Join the patreon to support the work of DPS and check out the many rewards: www.patreon.com/deadpundits *** ------------------------- Twitter: @deadp
