See this picture:

Two Venezuelan women

It was taken on a protest in Venezuela against Nicolas Maduro's victory, and the image has been stirring quite a lot of discussion as it's been portrayed as a blatant case of "class conflict" and hipocrisy: the argument says that the picture portrays a wealthy woman holding the arm of her maid as the younger woman bangs a pot (a usual way to make noise and protest in many countries) for her.

From a socialist POV, the image is a dreamlike case of reality-meets-propaganda...

But I am a curious dude, and can't help but notice that the two women are pretty similar looking. Their face shape, the face proportions, the shape of traits and even the way they purse their lips, are so similar that they look like relatives (grandmother and grandaughter? Maybe even mother and daughter?). Of course, maybe they're just average Venezuelan women and so just look similar to my foreign eyes, but I am intrigued on what does the community here think.

So what do you think? Are they relatives? Or it's just a casual similarity and they're just a master and her maid?

Yeah right, a blatant show of force by the Bourgeoisie forcing maids to bang pots for their masters.

No really. So blatantly obvious...

Like when EL PRESIDENTE said the opposition was burning medical centers and political safehouses of the Government and someone filmed then "in-fraganti" noticing loudly during the video , even speaking to police that the arsonists were government sponsored civilian forces .

Oh wait, im using divertionary tactics ... perhaps, just, I dont know, perhaps I can point you to a youtube video made by a MEMBER of the lower classes of Venezuela, a "Chavista" that says her NAME, her Phone number and sends a public video regarding the confusion in Venezuela and the way Maduro was behaving saying the acts of Maduro are very UN-Chavez like.

Even members of the Chavismo are not giving his full support to Maduro. He is not chavez.

The ages old rhetoric of Wealthy vs Poor is not working that good in Venezuela, where the only wealthy people these days remaining in the country are the new rich Chavistas, perhaps in the outside world.
Oh wait, lemme link you a report of the Official Government sponsored webpage, where several Chaviatas oo criticizes how members of their own Party are abusing their powers (for the past 14 years) by becoming worst than the "supposed" filthy decadent bougeoise of the Venezuela of yesteryear in lieu of how narrow the election was. There are several revolutionary members commenting how deeply divided the country is. And they can not place the blame fully on the "others".



Trust me. This is not a war of classes, this is a fully fledged war of Venezuelans (regardless of political affiliation) that want a new way. Be it either a Reborn Chavismo or the newly Emerging Caprilismo.

You have your way of thinking, I have mine, but do not pretend to pass a single pic as a show of how "oppresed" the poor in Venezuela are , it´s been 14 years man. For how long can they Blame the RICH, THE USA, THE CIA , ISRAEL, THE MOSSAD and every single Alien overlord and Lizardman or Bilderberg group member for what is happening in our country? When are they gonna take the BLAME for the MESS after 14 Years?

The only class war is in the heads of the "old guard" that don´t really really want to lose their hummers, condos in USA and EUROPE and their Swiss bank accounts.

Wake up.

Heh, now this is funny...

It has surfaced a funny fact about the picture... namely that it is not what it pretends to be. It was not shot in Venezuela in 2013, rather it was shot in Argentina in 2012, and certain people have been spreading it for propaganda purposes.

The evidence? Behind the crowd, it can be seen a part of a monument, and it turns to be the obelisk at Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires.
