It's funny how they claim Maduro is this huge drug lord when right next door the Colombian state is pretty much totally captured by the cartels and murder a horrifying number of left-wing and environmental activists on a regular basis (but its fine because they're our Israel in Latin America)
They get shitloads of military aid (in the name of the "War on Drugs") and a largely free hand by the media, NGOs, and US political institutions to persecute everyone the US doesn't like within their borders (FARC and other communists, trade unionists, environmental activists, Venezuela in general, etc)
I was more referring to them being a highly militarized terroristic state but @Thomas_Dankara also covered a relevant aspect regarding the indigenous peoples

every country in both north and south america has been an apartheid state when it comes to Indigenous Americans and/or Africans
Israel is in the process of doing to Palestinians what the American nations already did to its indigenous inhabitants over a century ago
