Venezuela is both plague and smallpox. The intention is to isolate Venezuela not only politically and economically, but also on the symbolic level. Even part of the left conceives of Venezuela as a contagious subject, which must be isolated, contained, proscribed, as a precondition for the left to have any power option again. It is a lost case, an incurable patient who must be left to its fate, confined. Close the door, throw away the key and do not look back. Before unspeakable reality, then reality that it’s better not to talk about, then reality that cannot be thought of. Venezuela no longer as the possible, but as the unthinkable. The left in particular, or a part of it, and in general the population of the continent, have been vaccinated against the Venezuelan disease.
