This clarification might be unnecessary, but since this article has a very specific target audience, I want to make sure that after reading the title, your ideological programming doesn't short-circuit and cause you to stop before reaching what is truly important:

I do not subscribe to the ideas, the methods, or the discourse of Donald Trump - nor to neoliberalism, nor to imperialism (of any kind). Much less do I celebrate the death of compatriots of any kind, nor the fact that, at least for the foreseeable future, we Venezuelans have been incapable of providing a solution to our own problems - neither through peaceful means nor by force - to guarantee some degree of control over our own destiny.
