There is a streak of authoritarianism hidden in all socialist proposals. Not by accident Owen called it a “socialist paradise “ and Hugo Chavez coined his 21st century socialism “ mar de la felicidad” ( sea of happiness ) in reference to Cuban socialism which he praised, in an attempt to lure supporters. Now the Maduro government is going to impose by force ( without the consent of the majority ) in Venezuela, a fraudulent constituent assembly so as to annul the democratically elected parliament, dominated by the opposition, abolish the reigning constitution and set up a new constitution modelled on cuban communism. According to the constitution this constituent assembly should be submitted to a referendum for the people to decide, but Maduro´s popularity is so eroded that he is avoiding this step. This is our fate.
