We dangle the word “Facho” (slang for fascist) quite easily. It’s a quick way to refer to certain individuals in the government who act as – how to put it nicely? – psychotic bullies. Sometimes, the term just fits.
From the top of my head, some examples of chavista facho moments:
- Chávez firing thousands of workers from PDVSA during his live TV Show in 2003, whistle in his mouth;
- Housing Minister Ricardo Molina, after Maduro was sworn as President, saying that he did not care what labor laws said but whoever was not with the revolution would have to go;
- Maduro threatening protesters with the unspeakable violence of the colectivos earlier this year;
- Diosdado last week, and every week of his life; and
- Francisco Ameliach, governor of Carabobo, when he “encouraged” armed colectivos and government supporters to go after demonstrators in Valencia, resulting in a massacre that included the slaughter of two young women.
Oh, Ameliach. He is back at it again. As the PSUV’s VP of Electoral Events, he announced that his pesuvian comrades now have a new means to help identify those escuálidos who cross-dress in Rojo-Rojito. He said:
Any militant who has been promoting division must be denounced through our email denunciainfiltradospsuv@gmail.com or by calling 0416-9425792.
Yes, he formally launched a gmail account and all new cellphone line that patriotas cooperantes (the euphemism for Government Snitch) may use to identify any infiltration in the PSUV’s ranks by anybody who does not act according to Chavez’s mandate. As usual, mean, childish, and mediocre. But also, incredibly counter-productive, because nothing sows mistrust and factionalism more than a good ol’ fashioned witchhunt.
Remember: 0416-9425792. Go ahead. Call. Prank a Facho.
Carabobo always chooses the best.

So this is the type of posts that make me realize the differences between Venezuelans from different backgrounds. I have a degree in Political Science from La Casa que Vence La Sombra and in those circles “facho” is never used to refer to powe-abusive chavistas. Any abuse of power from the State is just that, abuse of power. Adjectives to describe it based on an ideology should be directed to the ideology they profess. Let’s not forget socialists have more civil rights violations and deaths under their arms than “fachos”. Failing to differentiate between boths is falling in the rethoric of the gov’t and allowing that future lefties fool us with the “oh, it’s just chavismo wasn’t really socialist… it was… ehmmm… radical populism”, just like communists do with the Soviet Union now, “oh, the soviet union wasn’t communist, it was… ehm… State capitalism”… whatever that’s suppose to mean.

Imagine you are the Imperialist Wizard in charge of espionage against the Noble Bolivaran Revolution. You are asking yourself: “Where could I get a list of disgruntled revolutionaries that I might use for purposes of subversion? A list of insiders who might be persuaded to inform on their superiors?
And, finding out about this new initiative, you begin to wonder whether somehow, somehow, the NSA might be able to access this data. You could find out who is saying what about whom. The revelations of Edward Snowden make the Imperialist Wizard think that NSA just might have the capacity to read gmail.
In fact, this would be such a sweet deal for Imperio, Incorporated, that I begin to suspect this Amelliach himself. Why is he doing this? Whose interest is he really serving?

In Venezuelan popular culture snitches are seen as nausating and abominable , there is no simpathy for the ‘do gooder’ who collaborates with authorities by denouncing any one to the police. Not even if the guy is a criminal . People might do it in certain circles ( where people work closely together) but will never admitt to doing it, its too revolting this is more a Cuban thing .
The snitch is popularly called a ‘Sapo’ or frog and to be called that is the ultimate insult .( Zapatas caricatures are full of Sapos)
The govt thug ( of which there are many ) is called a ‘esbirro’ and the connotation of the term is equally unsavory and offensive .
Dont understand why they need to resort to snitches because if people hate snitches they are very gosipy and loquatious of all they come to know so eventually there are no secrets , the grapevine is a sieve.
Secondly if the Cubans have set up their customary listening and other devices they probably have the goods on everybody inside and outside the govt. So whats a snitch to reveal that they dont already know.
