In Pinochet’s Chile or General Jorge Rafael Videla’s Argentina, anyone who complained about government-sponsored violence was painted as a member of an international communist conspiracy. Today, anyone who complains about violence in Venezuela is, according to President Nicolás Maduro, a fascist and a lackey of the American empire.
在皮诺切特的智利或魏地拉将军的阿根廷，任何指责政府发起的暴力行为的人都会被扣上国际共产主义同谋的帽子。如今，任何指责委内瑞拉暴力的人都是——用总统马杜罗的话说——法西斯主义、美帝国主义的走狗。一切都改变了，但一切都和原来一样。
