Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

There are three main groups:
The Bolivarian Militia: Literally just a militia that helps the army and police, basically reserve units that exist to protect in case of a coup like in 2002.
The Colectivos: Armed Civilians who support the goverment but have no tie with the Police or Army, these pre-dates Hugo Chavez's goverment.
The Bolivarian Forces of Liberation: A very small guerrilla army that exists in Venezuela and seems to give critical support to the goverment, they barely controls anything and exists more or less as a local paramilitary organization for the state of Apure's goverment.
