CIA-backed right-wing terrorists riot in Venezuela

How is this not terrorism?

In Merida, Venezuela, a violent right-wing organization (which is supposedly a student organization but is actually made up primarily of professional thugs) fired guns and threw Molotov cocktails at police, blocked roads using university buses they stole, and ransacked entire neighborhoods. During the riots (which have left at least one person dead), the rioters have demanded the overthrow of their country's government.

Sounds a bit like what right-wing terrorists in the U.S. did when the 1992 election didn't go their way.

Another similarity? Much as how the U.S. education system aligns itself with right-wing extremists, the University of Los Andes is supporting the Venezuelan militants. The university even uses student government funds to sponsor them.

Ironically, the terrorists are also funded by the CIA.

So even if you're in the U.S., your tax dollars are being looted to fund this uprising. Nice thought for the day, folks, isn't it?
