It was bullshit, but not really the same. Foreign policy 'national emergencies' are very common, whereas domestic 'national emergencies' for non-emergency political funding are probably unconstitutional. It's not really wrong to point this out - if things go well, it stops another bullshit national emergency. If they go poorly, we can point to the government actively undermining the constitution (again), point to how frequently this has been happening, and use the issue as a symbol to bolster questions of state legitimacy.

Bernie is often unfairly demonized as pro imperialist here, but imo his actual record is head and shoulders above most American politicians, even if it leaves a lot to be desired.
Brody Wilson
We'll he is right in the sense of claiming that Venezuela is not socialist in a Marxist sense
His Anti-Maduro stance is unfortunate though

Tbh until Zizek endorses intervention, or even fails to explicitly denounce it, he’s still fine in my books. “Maduro sucks but hands off Venezuela” is an acceptable stance imo, although I think Maduro is a 5/10 leader at worst.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

… Ok, but what if Zizek liked Maduro but also supported intervention at the same time?
Not my stance, as I oppose intervention, but wouldn't it be zany if Zizek said something like that?
Btw, IMO Maduro's 10/10, maybe even 12/10. Arguably 100/10, actually. Great guy. Best leader in South America, better than Evo and if anyone tries to fuck with VU I will personally strangle them as an act of self-defense because I will be preemptively running around the entire Venezuelan border really fast so nobody can get through.
