Essentially, a gusano that lost out when Chavez nationalized the oil industry among others for the good of the people made a non-profit to deliver US State department propaganda around the world about the US Empire's geopolitical enemies. They also shill for cryptocurrency. They're a far-right think-tank.
It is and was, but also has had people flee due to economic problems caused by the US Empire sanctioning them, not a fault of Maduro or Chavez.
It was supported by the US government, and is merely one of many attempts by the empire to undermine Venezuelan socialism.
Marxism-Leninism is socialist, but Venezuela is closer to reformist socialism than Marxism-Leninism. The US Empire is capitalist, the large firms and key industries are privately owned and capitalists in charge of the state. I don't know what you think Marxism-Leninism is, but if you want a primer, check out section 0 of the intro ML reading list I made.
You haven't proven that Maduro didn't get elected, though, you've just posted that the majority of western countries and compradors believe him to not be. The majority of the world upholds Maduro as legitimate and the constitutionally recognized president of Venezuela. The US Empire has always been corrupt and "out of control," Trump is just the latest in a long line of imperialists.
