Dialectics are at work – as is always the case. Maduro is performing his part perfectly on the international stage of politics. We have utilised a “religious” rhetoric above because so much of contemporary far-right movements are “Judeo-Christian” in nature – with Zionist-Fascism being a distorted reflection of Judaic theology (not all Jews support Zionism or Israel) – but religion still serves to motivate a vast segment of humanity. Maduro might lose his life in an instant (in a hail of bullets) – or he might lose his life slowly over-time sat in an unmonitored US prison-cell. This is part and parcel of playing the part of a proletariat leader in the face of a highly aggressive and powerful capitalist foe. International pressure – and the fact that Trump is domestically unpopular might provide a counter-balance of forces which could see Maduro return safe and well to Venezuela – but Donald Trump is a psychopath whose mental illness has appealed to a vast raft of US voters – twice in the last decade! Once the prey has fallen in the trap – it is unlikely that which has been captured will see the light of day again!
