On December 10, 2024, while I was teaching a class in New York, dozens of messages began lighting up my phone all at once. Each one brought the news I had feared for months: Venezuelan security forces had kidnapped my friend, the community leader Jesus Armas. I felt my heart collapse. For years, I urged him to leave the country, but Jesus is Caracas — and Caracas is Jesus.
The comandante eterno continues to consume his people beyond his grave, while a very corrupt political class isolated from the people moves forward with their bloodbath.
