Los colectivos, que actualmente tienen presencian en todo el país y cuentan con el apoyo ya público de Nicolás Maduro y su entorno. *** Son grupos tarifados que reciben pagos para defender la “revolución”***, pero su principal beneficio es tener el camino libre para cometer delitos y desarrollar economías criminales con impunidad. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2020-08-11 14:41:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- n Ravekes / December 14, 2018 Share to Facebook Share to Twitter More...

During a government protest in Plaza Venezuela in the city of Caracas, Venezuela, a group of leather-clad, heavily armored motorcyclists thunder through the crowds, brandishing handguns and swinging clubs at protestors.These scenes were common during Venezuelan protests in 2014, where pro-government colectivos swept into protestors with a mandate to intimidate and repress. Colectivos are broadly defined as nonhierarchical groups who work toward a common goal. In much of Latin America, colectivos have often referred to peaceful, solidarity-based organizations In Matagalpa, Nicaragua, el Colectivo de Mujeres (The Collective of Women) hosts women empowerment workshops and plans marches for an end to domestic abuse. And in Jalapa, Mexico, el Colectivo por La Paz (The Collective for Peace) seeks justice for missing loved ones and pushes for a halt to senseless violence. Many of these groups advocate for progressive issues, but in contrast to their activist collective-action-focused counterparts, colectivos in Venezuela have adopted a new role. In Venezuela, colectivos are not activists banning together for a common good. Instead they are armed, pro-government groups acting as little more than paramilitary forces. As the autocratic, populist government of President Nicolás Maduro collapses, the cohesion that collective organization is usually intended to foster has instead been marked by partisan coercion. As major economic and humanitarian crises wrack the country, these armed groups have warped Venezuelan civil society into outlets of abuse and crime. These colectivos have taken control of territories throughout Venezuela, especially in the city of Caracas. Enforcing Hugo Chávez’s Bolivarian brand of socialism, they attempt to provide security and relative normalcy to their closed communities under the partisan banner of chavismo. They frequently patrol and regulate currency and goods under a presumption of colectivo justice and protection, sparing their communities from the crime and inflation that plague the rest of the country. However, this stability does not come without a cost. Painted on a wall in the Caracas colectivo of the Alexis Vive Foundation, the mantra “A country is built working, not criticizing,” serves as a gentle but clear reminder that members and the “beneficiaries” of their control are under the thumb of the government. donate_promo Supporters of the opposition are often targeted by colectivos, like during the 2014 protests. The Maduro regime encourages their actions and they often collaborate. Regime security forces and colectivos engage in severe beating and unlawful detainment and indiscriminately shoot protestors, acting as tools of oppression for the government against dissenters. Performing as almost a parallel security force for the government, many of these groups’ illegal acts are deliberately overlooked, adding to the country’s high levels of crime. They receive funding from the government for their support, but many of them also benefit from illicit commerce and activities. or perhaps funded officials |
